How To Select a Termite Treatment Firm
Do not panic!
In most cases, significant termite damage will not occur in a short
period of time. But do not delay your decision indefinitely; damage
has already started and termites will continue to damage the structure.

Verify
that the firm you select is a member of your state pest control
association and the National Pest Control Association.
|
|
|
Compare
written proposals, seek value, and avoid making decisions based
only on price. For example, a firm which does a careful survey and
can (will) show you the pest, location, and extent of damage before
they quote a price is more apt to do an effective job than another,
even if the second firm's price is 1/3 - 1/2 lower. You usually
get what you pay for.

Ask friends
and neighbors to recommend a firm that they have been satisfied
with in the past. Check with the Better Business Bureau for company
performance records (complaints). |

Some
Termite Trivia
|

|
|
|
The
total weight of all termites on earth is estimated to be much greater
than the total weight of all humans on earth.
|
|
|
Several
species of "higher" termites (e.g. Macrotermes bellicosus)
raise their own fungi, inside their nest, as a food source.
|
|
|
Termites
communicate mainly via chemicals called pheromones, but many (most)
species also strike their heads against the sides of their nests,
tunnel walls, or even their own thorax. Variations in frequency
and patter of such "tapping" seem to constitute "messages"
which seem to be understood by (at least elicit responses by) other
colony members.

|
|
One
species of termites in Australia, Amitermes meridionalis Frogg,
builds large flat mounds up to 4 m. tall, called "compass
mounds" which are always oriented with narrow ends pointed
north and south and the large flat sides facing east and west. |
