We’re all proud of our homes and do whatever we can to keep them well-maintained. No one likes paying for expensive home repairs, but nothing’s too good for ourselves and our families. But did you know that termites cause more structural damage than fire, floods, and tornadoes combined? Termite damage leads to over $5 billion in repairs each year, and an infestation is nearly impossible for homeowners to spot on their own before it’s too late. The good news is that our team at The Bug Man is a phone call away when you’re ready to schedule an annual termite inspection, and you’ll enjoy year-round peace of mind!

An annual termite inspection typically takes less than an hour, and we’ll also send you reminders when it’s time to schedule your next visit so there’s no lapse in your coverage!

Like all other household pests, it’s best to prevent termite infestations before they start. As a homeowner, your first priority should be to eliminate potential habitats and food sources. This means keeping your lawn mowed and trimming all shrubs and yard vegetation that comes into direct contact with your home. Additionally, if any limbs or tree branches overhang or come into direct contact with your roof, termites and other pests can use them as a bridge to access your home. Be sure to also pick up pet food dishes after use and ensure that the lid on your outdoor garbage receptacle is secure at all times.

Termites are fondest of moist, unpainted wood, so be sure to inspect your home’s exterior regularly for water damage and wood rot. Be sure to replace any damaged wood immediately, and paint the new wood as soon as the repairs are complete to seal it and prevent further water damage.
