Without the chapters, ASHI could not be the premier association for home inspectors. ASHI headquarters has some exciting news that we believe would assist with growing our chapters and thus, growing ASHI! > The Membership, Education and the Marketing team would like to set up a conference call with our chapter leaders as soon as possible. > On the Agenda is assisting our chapters with education, marketing an update from headquarters, new benefits and much, much more. Please contact headquarters at russelld@ashi.org to schedule your appointment.

Front row l to r: Mike Wicklund, Alden Gibson, Michele George, John D'Arpino ASHI Certified Inspectors: 3,354 Inspectors/Logo: 93 Associates: 1,748 Retired Members: 104 Affiliates: 60 Total: 5277 32 as of June 8, 2014 When offering a home inspection to a potential client, don’t just say that you “inspect homes well” because every home inspector will say that. You need to have that edge. One way to edge out the competition is through value-added services such as DNA testing for germs, pests, infestations and bacteria. The tests are easy to administer. You swab the area(s) of concentration, fill out the enclosed label, tell BugLab ID what to test for, send it to their lab and receive results within 24 hours ... often the same day! They attain 99.99 percent accuracy in their results. And to be extra sure, when a positive DNA organism is detected, BugLab ID reruns the test to validate their findings. You then receive certified results via email to include in your home inspection report. The initial cost to you is just $10. That’s $10 per kit! And, you can order as many as you like. Just sign up at the link (partners.buglabidny.com) and get started adding awesome services to your business today. If you need a login and password, please contact david@buglabid.com to get your login today.

There are plenty of articles talking about the infestations, mold, germs and bacteria found in a home that can be detrimental to your family’s health and could also be fatal. Here’s one such article reported on CBS news regarding MRSA (which BugLab ID can test for) in homes all across North America.
