Do termites really eat wood? How much damage can they do?
Termites eat the cellulose in wood. They digest it and return it to the colony in order to feed the other termites. According to the US Department of Agriculture, termites do more damage to homes each year than fire and storms combined. When I had your pest control service many years ago, the technician sprayed inside and outside my home but now your technician doesn t spray? There are also times when an interior treatment isn t done, is that normal? Years ago, the technique used for treatments was a spray because they were the products available. Now with the advancement of products, we rarely use liquid treatments. Most pests are controlled by baits, gels and granules. Our goal is to establish an exterior barrier so we do not have to inconvenience you each time to do an interior service. If you are seeing pests inside, we will be glad to provide an interior treatment at no additional cost. Most of our customers are happy with exterior treatments once that barrier is established.
