Q1: My house is concrete block, do I have to worry about termites?
This is a commonly asked question. Concrete block homes have about the same instance of termite infestations as do wood framed houses. Termites eat cellulose which is found in wood, but also many other materials found within the house. Most termite damage is done within the home and not to the exterior walls.

Q2: I have heard about "non tenting treatments". What is the best way to treat Drywood termites?
Every type of treatment has its own unique advantages and disadvantages (ie. cost, preparation time etc…), however, in terms of what type of treatment has the best success rate of eliminating Drywood termites, a structural fumigation is still the best method, period.

Q3: Are roaches and ants the sign of a dirty house?
Absolutely not. Ants and roaches (much like humans) are more dependent on water than on food, and will invade kitchens and bathrooms to find a water source.

Q4: Can a pest control company eliminate my problem with one service?
Many company's like ours will offer a "one time pest service", however controlling pest populations will never be a one time affair. Insects are part of our environment and our homes will continue to be vulnerable to these unwanted house guests. Therefore, a consistent pest management program is recommended.
