Sammy Lewis Ledbettcr of Mtttdowlark toW dwoties Thndtjr that CB radb, valoed at SIM, had ton tilth Ptiat Eiterprise, Sttvfcy, AifMt 1171 Every homeowner is afraid of termites and rightfully so. the annual costs of termite damage and control is $509 million in the United States atone. Termites of ten do damage unnoticed until the infestation becomes serious. Because of this, the Better Business Bureau suggests- that homeowners learn to recognize signs of infestation.

termites inside a home are usually a.sign of trouble, they are often confused, however, with flying ants, which are the reproductive form of ants. Termites have yellow-brown to black bodies and two pairs of'long translucent wings of equal size. Winged ants have two pairs of wings of unequal size. While termites have thick waistlines, ants have thin waistlines, like a wasp. A slender mud tube leading from the earth across the houses's foundation to wood is a sure sign of infestation.

These tubes are constructed because termites need to for consumers from your return to the ground for moisture. Effective treatment rests on providing a barrier so that termites are cut off from a moisture supply. If you do business with a pest control company, Better Business Bureau advises you to know the firm you're dealing with. If a traveling termite inspector solicits your business, ask for identification. See if the inspector's vehicle displays the company name.

In many jurisdictions he must have a license. Sometimes these traveling inspectors try to pressure homeowners into siping up for an expensive treatment. They may say that it's the firm's last day in town or that they're doing all the other houses in the area or that a special'offer is good for that day only. Don't fall for this type of pressure or for scare tactics. Remember, your house will not collapse in a matter of hours.

If are unsure about a particular firm, ask for references. Call the Better Business Bureau or other local consumer agency to see if complaints have been made against the firm. To be are getting expert assistance, deal only with an established firm that will still be business should you need help later. Get any in writing. Make sure this in-.

A reliable company will give a guarantee as a.matter of course and will commit itself to periodic inspections and follow-up treatment if reinfestation occurs. Usually a guarantee includes insurance fore repairs to property, resulting from reinfestation.

The Better Business Bureau reminds you of the three-day cooling off period. If you sign any contract in your home and later change your mind, you have three days (with some limitations they vary in different jurisdictions) in which to notify the company and cancel the contract. Get the required forms for this when you sign a contract. A safety tip from the Better Business Bureau: Most people don't realize how flammable tents are.
