All employees are completely trained and undergo a thorough background check. Aren't new homes and houses with concrete slabs virtually termite-proof? The experience of homeowners nationwide shows that no home, new or old, is safe from termites. By building mud tubes, termites can cross concrete, brick, cinder block, metal termite shields, pre-treated wood, and non-repellent chemical barriers. Only a professionally-applied repellent termite treatment will prevent termite entry. If I haven't seen swarming termites, or traces of damage, can my home still be in danger? Unfortunately, yes. When a colony swarms, the winged termites may be in the air for just a few minutes and you may not see them.
Termites eat wood from the inside out, making their activity detectable only by professional termite inspection. When is the right time to call a termite professional? Termite treatment is a fixed cost. But the longer you delay the treatment, the more damage termites can do. Repairs will become extensive , and more expensive. Generally speaking, the sooner you approve treatment, the better. Even if you haven't seen evidence of termite activity or damage, it is important to have your home professionally inspected. |
