Subterranean Termite Treatment

Nobody wants termites in their home. Most people are under the impression that termites only attack woodwork, plants and trees that are above ground. This is not the case. Subterranean termites live in nests below the ground and attack any wood that is in direct contact with the ground. They can also get to wood that is above the ground by way of the tunnels they build to reach the higher levels. These tunnels or tubes can often run several feet above ground level. Termites can also enter a structure through the expansion joints in concrete slabs or openings where utilities enter the building. The best way to avoid a subterranean termite infestation is to have pre-treatment done at the time of building construction. What Is Pre-Treatment? Termite pre-treatment at the time of building construction is recommended by architects and builders. It offers the most effective and economical way of preventing termite damage.There are a number of pre-treatment options available. One invol

Can You Insure Your Home Against Termites?

A home is the center of family life and you want to protect it against all risks. Homeowners insurance provides for monetary compensation for many of the risks and dangers, which could damage or destroy a house. However, this type of insurance is designed to provide coverage against damage or loss caused by sudden and accidental occurrences, over which the policyholder has no control. Insurance against termites is an entirely different proposition. They can indeed cause massive damage to a home but an infestation is not a sudden event.

Why DIY Termite Control Is Not a Good Idea

The first signs of termite infestation are often the cause of panic and a desire to act fast to get rid of them. Using termite sprays and chemicals may give you the feeling that you have done what is required to protect your home and possessions. But while a DIY effort may give you a feeling of satisfaction, and the thought that you have saved money by doing the work on your own, the reality may be very different.

Using a professional termite control service means that your home is completely protected from termites and you and your family can live is peace, knowing that no mistakes have been made, all actions to eradicate the pests have been done the right way and that nothing

Reduce the wood to ground contact as much as possible and treat what remains with te
