Termites - Hints for Homeowners - NAPSTV - Orkin

WHILE SOME HOME MAINTENANCE PROJECTS ARE A MATTER OF DO-IT-YOURSELF DETERMINATION, OTHERS REQUIRE THE TRAINING AND SKILLS OF A PROFESSIONAL.
FOR EXAMPLE, ITʼS ESTIMATED THAT TERMITE DAMAGE COSTS AMERICAN HOMEOWNERS
MORE THAN FIVE BILLION DOLLARS EACH YEAR.

FORTUNATELY, THAT EXPENSE CAN BE REDUCED OR PREVENTED THROUGH REGULAR INSPECTIONS FROM A TRAINED EXPERT. MANY HOMEOWNERS BELIEVE THAT TERMITES ARE ACTIVE ONLY IN THE WARMER MONTHS, BUT ACCORDING TO WWW.TERMITES101.ORG, TERMITES CAN LIVE IN AND AROUND YOUR HOME YEAR ROUND. SOME SIGNS OF ACTIVITY, SUCH AS SWARMS, ARE EASY TO DETECT, WHILE OTHER SIGNS, SUCH AS TERMITE DAMAGE IN CRAWL SPACES, CAN REQUIRE AN EXPERT INSPECTION.
ACCORDING TO DOCTOR RON HARRISON, TECHNICAL DIRECTOR FOR ORKIN, INCORPORATED, TERMITE DAMAGE IS OFTEN INVISIBLE ON THE SURFACE, AND MANY HOMEOWNERS DONʼT KNOW THEY HAVE AN INFESTATION UNTIL SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTACT A TRUSTED PEST MANAGEMENT
PROFESSIONAL IF YOU SUSPECT TERMITES HAVE TAKEN UP RESIDENCE IN YOUR HOME.
