We all take pride in our homes, and the importance of preventive maintenance cannot be overstated! Minor repairs can turn into much bigger (and more expensive) problems if you don’t deal with them right away, and they’re the best way to keep your home comfortable and safe. But did you know that termites are the leading cause of structural damage?

Each year in the United States, termites cause an estimated $5 billion in structural damage yearly, more than fires, floods, and tornadoes combined! But they’re no match for our team of pest control experts at The Bug Man! We’ve been providing trusted pest control in Little Rock for over 48 years, and we’re also proud to serve homeowners in other central Arkansas communities, including Faulker, Garland, Jefferson, Saline, and White Counties. Our technicians all share our passion for legendary customer service, and an annual termite inspection is the best way to enjoy year-round peace of mind.

It takes a trained eye to detect termite activity, and most homeowners won’t spot an infestation on their own until it’s too late. An annual termite inspection typically takes less than an hour, and our trained technician will inspect your home from top to bottom for evidence of termite activity. They’re always happy to answer any questions you may have, and they’ll make specific recommendations for things you can do on your own to keep your home free from termites and other pests.

The most important thing you can do to keep your home free from termites is routine preventive maintenance, particularly in areas where rainwater gathers after a heavy storm. If you see any water damage or wood rot on your home’s exterior surfaces, replace and repaint the damaged wood as soon as possible before it spreads. Termites and other pests also use overhanging tree limbs to access your roof, so prune any large shrubs that come into direct contact with your home and contact a tree service if you can’t safely reach any large limbs that have gotten out of hand. And if you ever spot “mud tubes” forming on the exterior surfaces of your home, be sure to contact us before they have a chance to spread further!
