Here at Rentokil, we recommend that all our clients schedule annual termite inspections in order to detect the signs of an infestation as early as possible. These bugs are working 24 hours a day, eating through the wood and cellulose of the structure they have infested. Several million termites in a colony, many of whom are working consistently to eat through wood, can cause untold damage in a short amount of time. Throughout the nation, termites cause an estimated $5 billion in damage to homes each year.
As part of our IPM practices, our termite exterminators aim to prevent infestations before they begin.
