When it comes to protecting your home from termites, you have too much at risk to rely on someone other than an experienced termite control professional. Termite control is a site-specific process that requires:
- Experience and training to recognize signs of termite activity
- Knowledge of termite behavior, construction practices, structural features that are conducive to termite
- Specialized knowledge, equipment and tools to treat your home appropriately; and
- Products that only licensed termite control professionals are authorized to use
Today’s termite control professionals have many options available for treating your home, so everyone who inspects your home may recommend a different approach. How can you make an informed decision about protecting your home from termite destruction? Here are the steps we would recommend to you to protect your home:
- Have a thorough and comprehensive inspection – inside and out and from roofline to foundation every 2-4 years.
- If there is an existing infestation, a plan of attack will be tailored to protect your home
- Finally, the professional will apply a product to eliminate any current infestation and create a Treated Zone in the soil around your home to prevent termites from returning.
It is now time to be pro-active in protecting your Home from TERMITES.

Great idea. I haven’t had my home inspected for termites in over 10 years. I should check… but it’s one of those things. Do I really want to know? 🙂
Don’t wait Chrystal. Call today.
Hi timely Carla. After the first rain of the season, I had a swarm of termites and just had my reliable company come and collapse the tubes. Better to handle the small issues as they arise so they don’t turn into BIG ones.
Julie it is great that you are staying on top of your protecting your home.
Great reminder, Carla! We had a full inspection (and some treatments due to inspection findings) a few years ago.
Haven’t seen any indications that any bugs are back—but they could be hiding somewhere!

Becky, I would recommend that you have another full inspection just to make sure that your home is healthy and free of the nasty pests! Better to be safe than sorry.
I didn’t realize there were different kinds of termites until one day I woke up in my home in Florida and found subterranean termites had eaten through my window frames overnight!
Carol, thank you for reminding everyone that there are different kinds of termites.
Termites are an awful pest. Knowing how to desk with them, or better yet prevent them, can save homeowners tons a money. Thanks for the good info.

Thanks for your endorsement for the inspection, Heidi.
Good message Carla…I need to get someone out to look at my Ridgemark home….the longer I wait the worse off I may be!! Thanks
Yes Judy. It would be a good idea to have the Ridgemark property inspected at least every 4-5 years because you have trees in the backyard.
