Beware: Termites can be as costly and deadly as fires

Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. A figure of speech really but it rings true for most fire incidents in the country. Tricky as they are, fires come with a mere puff of warning and most often than not strike when no one is looking. So, everyone is left to deal with the damages they caused and even lives lost.

A home catching fire is a nightmare for a homeowner but did you know that a termite infestation could do just as much damage? A home turned into ashes is as bad as being eaten away by termites. The spread of flame is just as fast as how termites breed then feed on walls, ceilings, doors or any wooden structure throughout the house. Worst, they do not stop until they have devoured everything.

The costly reconstruction caused by fires is dependent on the extent of the damage and size of the property. The same goes for termite infestation, the more their presence is ignored, the more damage they can do to a property.

It is why homeowners should be concerned about keeping infestation from ever happening. They must be more vigilant when it comes to termites especially if they come unexpectedly. A good roof above one’s head makes for a secured, hassle-free life.

So, to prevent termite infestation from recklessly consuming a costly home reconstruction, make sure there is Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System to guarantee that much needed protection.

Sentricon offers a long-term solution against voracious termites. The process of extermination does not leave residues or odor in the soil because it uses a baiting system to prevent proliferation of termites. Spraying chemicals at the infested areas were found to be ineffective form of treatment because it only repels termites instead of eliminating them. What’s more, fumes of chemicals if inhaled may pose serious health risks.

The way Sentricon handles extermination is done with extra care. For one, the system uses a few grams of a chemical hexaflumuron within its bait stations, just enough to pursue elimination of termite colonies. It need not put unsightly holes throughout the house or grounds because it does not require drilling, digging or injections to facilitate treatment applications.
