If you’re like most people, you might cringe at the thought that your home has termites. Not only will this be an inconvenient experience, but if you don’t rid your home of these critters immediately, they can create thousands of dollars in damage.

The professionals use what’s called termiticide. This substance is sprayed into the ground and creates a barrier between the ground and the wooden portions of your home. Termites in the ground cannot get through to the home. Termites in your home can get back to the moist soil that they need, so they die as well.

Call the professionals if you feel you have termites so that you don’t end up with a lot of needed repair work.
