For over 40 years, the pest control experts at Rid-A-Bug Exterminating have been helping those in Hamptonville, SC, keep their residences and businesses free of termites and other pests. Besides being a nuisance, allowing bugs to roam around your living or workspace for an extended period can result in severe structural damage. To prevent your building from falling victim to a termite infestation, these professionals urge both their residential and commercial clients to schedule routine inspections.

Not sure how often you should schedule regular termite inspections? Pest management experts recommend having your residence or business assessed at least once every year—sooner if you detect visible signs of termites. Call your local pest control company immediately if you notice the following indicators:

• Grooves in your wood floors or wooden wall panels that the termites carved
• Visible wood damage such as sagging floors and ceilings
• Termite droppings that look like small pellets or coffee grounds
• Dead termites, either wholly intact or just parts such as wings

Yearly inspections will help you catch any termites before they start to wreak havoc on your building. If left untreated, termites can get into the walls, floors, and even the ceilings of your home, causing these elements to collapse and potentially injure the building’s inhabitants.

Termite inspections usually run between $75 and $150 and take from 30 minutes to an hour. While this may seem like an added cost you can put off, a yearly termite inspection is far cheaper than having to repair or completely overhaul an area of riddled wood.
