"When Experince Matters"

Termites invade millions of homes across the country causing damages estimated to be in the billions of dollars annually. They are found in 49 of the 50 states. In the southeast, homes and other structures are considered at high risk for termite infestations. Because we are located in a region of the country which is considered to be high risk, it is very important to be proactive in protecting your investment from termites.

How Do Termites Enter A Structure?

Primarily, subterranean termite colonies are located in the ground. They can enter a structure undetected by:

• Small cracks in the slab or foundation
• Tunneling up the foundation or inside block voids
• Plumbing penetrations in the slab
• Tunneling up behind brick or other siding
  Through expansion cracks of adjacent concrete
   such as:
  • Garage slabs
  • Patio slabs
  • Porch slabs

Why Should You Have a Professional Termite Company Inspecting Your Home Each Year? | Lanier

Since most home or business owners don’t have the time to thoroughly inspect their homes or they are unaware of what to look for, they typically don’t realize they have a termite infestation until they have a swarm inside or notice damaged wood. By this time, they already have an established termite colony feeding on their home. Early detection of termite activity will greatly reduce the amount of damage caused by a termite colony.
