Termite damage in Perimeter Beam

Hello, I just recently had an engineer inspect a home im interested in purchasing. The inspector came accross one of the perimeter beams of the house and it looks as if it was eaten right thru to the other side. What are the chances that the termites have spread throughout the rest of the house, what should I look for??? I have an outside company coming in to run some tests on the property(Exterminator), what should I ask him, someone please help.....

Termites

Only an exterminator can tell you the extent of infestation and damage and identify areas where repairs will need to be made. Typically, the seller pays for treatment and repairs. If you purchase this home, make sure you maintain contract with exterminator with annual inspections.
