Any Arkansan will tell you that if you don’t like the weather here, all you have to do is wait for it to change! There are also several times a year when Mother Nature does her worst, and homeowners watch the weather forecast with great anxiety. But did you know that termites cause more structural damage each year than fires, floods, and tornadoes combined? The good news is that termites and other pests are no match for our team at The Bug Man, and an annual termite inspection is the best way to prevent infestations before they start.

We’ve been providing trusted pest control in Little Rock for 49 years and counting, and our technicians all share our commitment to legendary customer service. A professional termite inspection is a great way to protect your investment in your home, and typically takes less than an hour. Let us know a time that’s convenient for you, and you can always count on us to arrive on time for your scheduled appointment. One of our seasoned technicians will inspect your home’s exterior for signs of termite activity and may also request access to other areas of your home, such as your garage, attic, or crawl space.

Your termite contract is in effect for the entire year, and we’re always a phone call away if you have any issues. Termite activity is difficult to spot without a trained eye, but it’s always a good idea to regularly inspect your home’s exterior for water damage. If you notice any rotten wood on your soffits, fascia, or underneath your eaves, replace it as soon as possible and repaint the new wood once it has been installed.

The most effective thing you can do on your own to keep your home pest-free is to eliminate potential habitat and food sources. Keep your lawn mowed and your hedges trimmed, and be sure to prune any tree limbs that come into direct contact with your roof. Termites sometimes construct “mud tubes” from saliva and frass (droppings) that they use for food and transportation, so if you see any spiderwebbing on your home’s exterior, call us immediately and let us investigate.

If you have any questions about termite control or want to schedule your annual termite inspection, contact us online or at 501-663-9464.
