Destructions caused by termites:

Inspection for the presence of termites outside the structure:

Initiating with months of spring season, you can carry out a deep inspection beginning with the external structures, more particularly in the yard. If you visualize any portable wooden structures like timber, firewood, barrels or cardboard boxes in a deep contact with the soil, remove it immediately.

Inspection for the presence of termites inside the structure:
