Know the signs of a termite infestation
Termites are back!
Yes it can happen to you! With the coming of the months of March, April, May and the changing of a new season, 2017 has brought with it the homeowner’s ultimate nemesis. But, homeowners aren’t alone – commercial buildings are in danger as well. Termites and their colonies will stop at nothing to literally chomp on any wood they could find and this year it seems as though they’re coming back stronger than ever with an almost-Biblical impact. Their prerogative is not just to eat and live, but to recolonize, swarm, and leave a legacy behind. What a nightmare! Termites cause an estimated two billion dollars and up in damages not covered by homeowners’ insurance.
Though it’s alarming and frankly sounds like an invasion from an alien planet, you can get yourself prepared with just a few tips and a call to your local Termite-inator…Bullfrog Pest Control
