Florida Termites

Should You worry about getting Termites in Your Florida Home?

The quick answer to that questions is YES, every Florida homeowner should be concerned about termites infesting their home.

Let’s be real, your home is one of your largest investments and it only makes sense to protect your investment. I recommend you contact a Pest Professional of your choice to get an inspection and a quote for termite protection on your property.

I hear people say, “it is a block home, it doesn’t need termite protection”. My response is always: what about the wooden studs in the wall, windows, doors, attic structure (including the roof decking). Termites do not care if the house is block or not, if there is wood to eat, they will find a way in.

Which brings me to another point. Hidden termite damage or even structural damage is a possibility whenever a home has a termite problem. Termite damage especially hidden termite damage can go on for years undetected. Homes with undetected hidden termite damage are at the greatest risk for structural problems caused by termites. 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. – Benjamin Franklin.

Termite repairs can be very costly. Monitoring for termite activity and damage is a critical first step to early detection and preventing damage to trees and houses. Being proactive by scheduling regular inspections and discussing prevention methods with a Pest Control Professional can hopefully help avoid the high cost of repairing termite damage.
