New article on renter’s insurance
It may come as a surprise that a majority of renters don’t have renters insurance, which can protect them from heavy losses caused by fire, theft, liability and more. While these policies may benefit most tenants, those who live in an upper floor or who have pets may be in particularly need of insurance. To find out more, check out our new article on renters insurance.
New article on carpet beetles
Carpet beetles are like clothes moths – their larvae are voracious eaters of wool and other animal fibers and they can be killed through basic sanitation. Carpet beetles’ appetites are even more varied, however, and infestations are harder to spot because the adults often don’t loiter nearby. As with clothes moths, proper identification and treatment are essential to protection of your clothes and possessions. To find out more, check out our new article on carpet beetles.
New article on clothes moths
Clothes moths don’t threaten most items and they aren’t a danger to people, but they are responsible for an enormous amount of damaged clothing, carpets and other fabrics. If you witness moths fluttering around your closet, you’ve probably got an infestation, but understand that it’s the larvae, not the adult moths, that actually eat fabric. And it’s easy to confuse clothes moths with different types of moths that pose no threat. To find out more about these pests and what you can do to stop them (and what doesn’t work), check out our new article on clothes moths.

Become an insurance adjuster with InterNACHI’s free, online course.
This course is the largest, most in-depth insurance adjusters course available. It’s also very educational for home inspectors. The course helps inspectors pass the Florida’s state examination. There are mutual reciprocity agreements between states whereby an adjuster holding a license in one state can successfully apply for a license in another state and vice-versa. You may be able to apply for a adjusters license in another state without having to first pass that state’s exam or pre-licensing course. And, in keeping with InterNACHI’s commitment to Continuing Education, this course is open and free to all members, and can be taken again and again and again. A great well-rounded learning tool for inspectors.
