Will DIY(do it yourself) termite control protect your most valuable asset?

DIY termite treatment and control have no guarantee

The biggest reason why DIY termite control is not the best solution for homeowners is that there is no guarantee your home will be protected. Furthermore, because so much of the damage caused by termites is within the inner walls of a structure, it can be difficult to know if you have a termite problem until it is too late. Being proactive with proper and professional termite control can help catch the start of an infestation sooner and reduce the amount of damage termites may do. With Terminix®, you are covered by the Ultimate Protection® Guarantee, the strongest guarantee in the business.
