Termites

Termites command more attention than any other insect pest. D&L termite control specialists are knowledgeable in building construction, termite biology and behavior, the proper and safe use of pesticides, the use and maintenance of equipment, and safety. We use informed, concerned judgment in the performance of every job!

There are two types of termites that are of economic importance: Subterranean and Drywood. Although these two types of termites are very similar in appearance, the places that they live and the appropriate control measures for them are very different.

Subterranean termites make their homes in the ground. Travelling through the soil and by building mud tubes, they gain access to unprotected structures and cause the damage that all building owners fear.

Termites Cause More Damage than Storms and Fires!

There's no doubt that fire and weather cause a devastating amount of damage, and each disaster that occurs is highly dramatic and emotional. In fact, more than 365,000 homes in the U.S. are involved in a fire each year. Less dramatic - but no less disastrous - is the damage caused by termites. Termites cause more than $1.5 billion annually in damage every year. That's more than fires, storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes combined!

While Homeowner's Insurance can help recover losses from fires, floods, and earthquakes, but it is almost impossible to get insurance against termites. Unlike fire and weather catastrophes, when termite damage begins, it can remain undiscovered for years. But eventually it can lead to sagging floors or rafters, loose trim, cracked plaster, and more. Eventually, major repairs to the structure may be necessary.
