Even if you have not noticed pests around your home, you should invest in an annual pest and termite inspection. It is a great way to make sure that you do not have the beginnings of a pest infestation. Plus, your pest control technicians can look for any issues that may leave you vulnerable, even if pests have not already started to invade.
Prevention
The main reason to get an annual pest and termite inspection is prevention. We constantly stress how important exclusion is to keep termites and pests out of your home. Insects and rodents can enter through surprisingly small spaces. They are also attracted to food sources and water. In an annual inspection, the technicians not only look for evidence of pests, but also point out where your home is vulnerable, so that you can prevent future infestations.
Save Money
Pests can create huge financial problems. They can destroy your property. Termites can destroy the wood of your home. Rodents can chew through wires, causing fires. Other insects can cause damages, and most pests can spread disease. Unfortunately, most of these damages are not covered by your insurance. So, you will be responsible for those expenses out of pocket. Detecting pests early is a great way to prevent those unexpected expenses.
Protect Your Property
Protecting your property goes hand-in-hand with saving money. If you can prevent a pest infestation or stop it in its early stages, you will prevent property damage. You will also preserve the value of your home, as potential buyers are not going to want to buy a property with pests. This is especially true with pests like termites, which can threaten the structural integrity of the property and cause tens of thousands of dollars in damages.
Protect Your Investment
If you are thinking about buying a property, getting it inspected for pests beforehand can give you a better idea of any hidden problems. You probably want to start regular inspection and treatment services after you buy a house. Even if your inspection does not reveal any pests, you may not know the prevention history. By setting up regular pest control services, you can help ensure your home stays pest-free.
