It is said that prevention is always better than cure.
But fool that I was, I overlooked this important requirement when constructing
my dream house - call it cutting corners or idiocy! Soon enough, those dreaded
pests came calling. I don’t know if the termites surfaced from the ground or
somewhere else, but they sure made their presence soon enough with brown, wood
like powder lining my wardrobes and drawers.
I tried to ward them off with a few repellants and
other home remedies, but nothing seemed to work. The pests were forging their
silent damage and literally spreading their wings all over the house. Friends
and family kept ridiculing me with taunts of how I should have planned termite
pre-treatment during the construction phase itself.
Finally I decided to call in the cavalry and started
looking for an experienced Pest Control Ballentyne company. Tactical
Pest and Termite Solutions was the answer to my prayers and they did a quick,
efficient and reliable job of eliminating all the termites from my property
with properly planned baits and other wood treatments.
The process was effective and rendered my house safe,
but now I have learned my lesson. When I added a sun room and turned a part of
the attic, I first ensured that the soil, foundation and slabs were properly
treated against termites by the same professional termite service provider.
I am the first to advise everyone to ensure proper
pre-treatment against termites before embarking on a home project!
