Pest problems can quickly turn a home from a valuable asset into a stressful burden. Whether it’s termites eating away at the structure, roaches in the kitchen, or rodents in the attic, pest infestations are a major red flag for traditional buyers—and a nightmare for property owners trying to sell.
If you’ve got a home with serious pest issues, you’re not stuck. At Moe Buys Homes, we buy houses in any condition—including homes with active pest infestations. You don’t need to tent the house, fix the damage, or even clean it up. We’ll make a cash offer as-is, and you can walk away from the problem for good.
🐀 Why Pests Are a Dealbreaker for Buyers
Most potential buyers—and their agents—will walk away the second they see:
- Rodents, cockroaches, or termites
- Signs of nesting in walls or ceilings
- Pest-related damage to wood, wiring, or insulation
- Active bug infestations or droppings
- Unpleasant odors or mold from pest activity
Even minor infestations can scare buyers off due to:
- Health risks
- Safety concerns
- Insurance and loan issues
- High extermination and repair costs
Pests don’t just bring discomfort—they bring down property value and can delay or cancel closings.
💸 The True Cost of Pest Problems
Fixing a pest-infested home is expensive. Even a small termite issue can snowball into $10,000+ in structural damage. Rodents often chew through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards. Roaches and bed bugs are notoriously hard to eliminate completely, sometimes requiring multiple treatments over several months.
On top of extermination, you may also need:
- Drywall repair
- Floor and insulation replacement
- Deep cleaning
- Professional inspections and clearances
All of that takes time and money—two things many homeowners don’t have.
🛠️ Should You Fix the Problem or Sell As-Is?
If you have the time, funds, and energy to handle extermination, repairs, and marketing your home through a realtor, that’s one option.
But for many sellers, it’s just not worth the stress.
Here’s when it makes sense to sell your pest-infested property fast:
- The cost of extermination is too high
- You’re an out-of-state or absentee owner
- You inherited the home and don’t want to fix it
- The house is vacant and deteriorating
- You’ve tried to fix the problem but pests keep coming back
- You’re in foreclosure or facing code violations

✅ Real Example: How Angela Sold Her Pest-Infested Rental
Angela owned a rental property that had become overrun with rats and cockroaches after a long-term tenant moved out. The cleanup was overwhelming, and two pest control companies quoted her over $7,000 for fumigation and repairs.
“I was so stressed. I didn’t want to put more money into the house. Moe Buys Homes gave me a fair cash offer, and I closed in 9 days. It was a huge relief.”
