Default Re: Pest and Bug Discrimination

We were told by the fellow from Massey who did our annual inspection that the stuff that prevents termites from getting into the house is buried in holes dug in around the outside of the foundation when the house was built, that it lasts for 8-10 years, and that, rest assured, the termites are there, ever present, beyond that line of chemicals. When you think about it, yes, they were there long before TV existed, and there's no reason to think they've gone away simply because the area was developed. To us, having the contract and the inspection is like insurance that bring peace of mind and one less thing to think about when putting one's head on a pillow at night!
