Yes you do! Termites often go unnoticed until the damage is already done. A termite contract can prevent your home from falling down around you. Here is why you should have a termite contract:
Mortgage requirement: Mortgage companies require an inspection to ensure the home is termite free and remains free from infestation. This protects the lender as well as the homeowner.
Financial protection or damage control: The sooner the termites are found, the sooner the treatment can be given, and therefore, the less likely chance of damage and costly repairs.
Peace of mind: With a contract, regular inspections will be done. If, during inspection, termites are found, the crew can treat on the spot to stop the damage from worsening.
Termites can cause significant damage to your home or other buildings. They often go unnoticed until the damage is already done. Having a termite contract can give you peace of mind whether you are buying/selling your home, or you just want to protect your investment.
Termite contract or not, it is best to bring in a professional to inspect and treat your home if you see or suspect termite damage. Learn more about our termite control services.
