Get the bugs
One of the other interesting things that my wife and I found when we first started fixing up our house, which we are approaching like an investment property/property development project was termites.
We were aware when we bought the property that there was a bit of a termite issue (and it was one of the factors we were able to leverage to drive the price right down.. everyone hates termites and if you have got them they are going to turn almost every buyer away.. is what we said..)
But, they are really not a huge issue, I like termite exterminators in Austin, TX personally, but there are loads of good local providers, and I recommend going with a local group. Just because I like to support local business. You just need to get them out of the house, and then you need to have a monitoring system in place to protect against re-visiting.
If you catch them early (which is the idea of the monitoring.. we pay around $500 a year) then they cannot do much damage, it is a serious problem when they are left for years.
