Termite Control Near Me
Would you believe me if I told you that all those damage expenses caused by termites could have been prevented? So, how much do you know about termites? A little bit maybe? Quite a bit or maybe nothing at all? Well, termites can eat 1 lb of wood each week, and they can travel 150 feet per day. In the state of Alabama, because of our agriculture, it's a known fact there are 4-6 termite colonies per acre of land. So, to spell it out for you, it's never a question of whether you have termites or not, because you do! The question you have to ask and find out through a proper inspection is, have the termites found your home yet?
Poor Inspections?
When considering having a termite inspection on your home, most companies will offer you a free inspection. The problem with termite inspectors, most of them know very little about termites, to begin with, and they could care less about finding out if you really have a termite problem or not. Most termite inspectors are just glorified salesmen looking for another dollar to add to their bank account. Most companies won't even give you a proper inspection. I know this as a fact because I was called out to perform a termite inspection this past year for a family here in town. What she didn't tell was that she had already called two other companies out to inspect her home. http://YourPestControl.com. I crawled under her home checking every pier, every floor joist, along the foundation wall, and on the seal plate for evidence of termites. As I was starting to think the woman's home was clear of visible termite activity, I saw a white bug crawl out from under the moisture barrier in the crawl space. I carefully pulled back the plastic to reveal a massive amount of active and very alive termites. Upon further inspection into the farthest back area of the crawl space, I found what is known as a termite castle literally coming up out of the ground in the crawl space of the home.
When I came out of the crawl space, I told the owner of the home that I did indeed find termites and a bunch of them. She looked back at me with a puzzled look on her face, and then she asked me, "Sir, how is it that I've had three different local pest control companies come out to inspect my home, and none of them found termites but you?" I'm sure my response could have come across as me being a smart butt, but I asked her a question. "Ma'am, if you've already had two other companies tell you that you didn't have a termite problem, why did you call me?"
Her answer shocked me but gave me a sense of pride and happiness. I always try my best to give each customer the best inspection possible, and it showed that day. She said, "Nate, I have friends and family that told me to call Custom Pest Control and ask for you specifically." She went on to tell me the names of her family members and friends who referred her to me, and I remembered them. I found termites eating on their homes. They hired us to treat their homes for termites. She told me that her family members had also called the three large pest control companies in the area. One of those inspectors gave them a termite treatment cost, and never even crawled the house. The other inspector crawled under the home, and after 10 minutes came back out and gave them the all-clear. Then, I arrived and actually found the termites, and showed the customers pictures I had taken of the crawling termites under their homes.
Treatment Methods?
Not all treatment methods are the same, and that's a cold hard truth! You can choose to pay $600.00 every 2 or 3 years for a new treatment using generic products, you can have bait stations installed or you can have a professional treatment that only needs to be completed once every 10-20 years. If you know that you have termites, eating at the buffet called your home, why would they leave the buffet to eat the appetizer in the yard known as a bait? Exactly! Not gonna happen!
Why pay $600.00 for a termite treatment that's only going to last for a few years? The termites will return! For only a little more, you can have a 100% fully legal and legitimate termite treatment performed on your home and receive a termite bond.
