But on your property, they can eat away the equity you have built up in your home and property.

Termites infest millions of homes nationwide, causing over $750 million in damage annually, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

Methods vary with each house, depending on the type of foundation or basement, construction materials, number and type of porches, patios, chimneys, etc. By digging narrow trenches along walls and drilling through horizontal surfaces and into void, materials can be applied where they will kill termites that have invaded your home and block the termite's re-entry.
