For many pest control specialists, ridding homes of a termite infestation is our bread and butter. In America alone, these nasty little buggers cause billions of dollars worth of property damage every year. That’s because there can be up to 2 million members in a single colony, and many properties have more than one colony. Despite those daunting statistics, there are ways to protect your home against termites. Even though there are no methods (yet) that guarantee a termite-free existence, if you follow these steps, you reduce your risk significantly.
