We had our fixer house tented/treated as part of the real estate offer. I've never used pesticides and live a pretty green life, but I have to say that the peace of mind of having it tented (before anyone was there - it was empty) was wonderful. It felt like starting as "fresh" a start as possible (for a 30-year old fixer).Also, writing it into the contract was a good idea on the part of my realtor, as the cost would have been prohibitive after the fact for us.
