Every homeowner in the region will contend with termites multiple times in their lives. These pests are a primary cause of concern with regard to the health and safety of your most valuable asset: your home. Termite treatments are the most important purchases homeowners will make when shopping for pest control, and are a must have on any serious homeowners to-do list. These treatments are best served BEFORE you find evidence of termites, not after they've already been discovered. Most activity in a home is hidden, and even routine inspections don't come close to replacing the protection gained by completing a thorough treatment of your home.
Do your research! Treatments vary WIDELY when it comes to termites. There are a few important factors that contribute to successful treatments. These are: The type of termite you're treating for, the construction style of your home, your home's treatment history, and the experts you hire for treatment.
Set up an inspection. Termite inspections take some time, and are required by the AZDA to be completed before a proposal for treatment of a property can even be provided. Keep in mind, these inspections can take multiple hours depending on your home size, structural complications, and general thoroughness.
Ask questions. Once your inspection begins, don't be afraid to ask any question that comes to mind. This will help build trust in the process and naturally make you feel more comfortable during the treatment process.
Consider competitive bids. One surefire way tell whether or not you're receiving quality service is to know what it's like to get less than that. You'll be amazed at how wide the service quality gap is in this industry. Duck Pest Control offers the highest termite service quality in town. You'll be able to tell very quickly, before you break out your wallet.
Pull the trigger. Once you feel like you have all the information you need to make a good decision, get yourself on a treatment schedule ASAP. Termites don't take long to start damaging your home. Depending on your specific situation, repairs to your home may already be necessary. Make an appointment with a trusted contractor or ask your termite expert for a referral!
