“When I heard that chewing sound in the wall, I just looked at my husband and said “Oh no!” Christina and her husband had had trouble with termites in another property they owned previously, and so were able to immediately recognize the signs of termite infestation. “The door to the kid’s room started getting hard to open, and we saw some droppings,” she explained. “And then we saw some flying, and I knew for sure it was time to get our termite removal plan into gear.”
“Previously we’d tried removing the termites on our own,” Christina said. “You’ve probably read all the home remedies for termite removal. We took off the wall boards and got out the shopvac. What a messy, unpleasant experience! My husband’s allergies kicked into overdrive, and he was sick for a week. Worse than that, it didn’t really work. We didn’t get rid of all the termites, and they just kept breeding.”
For a faster, more effective way to get the termites out of your house, Christina recommends calling in the professionals. “What you want is a South Shore exterminator who does termite removal.” Professional exterminators use pet and family safe products to eliminate termites at all stages of development, including adults, nymphs, and eggs. “I was really impressed with the speed and accuracy with which the exterminators located exactly where the termites were nesting in our home. I had a general idea,” Christina explained, “but it turns out they found two nesting sites I didn’t even suspect were there! If we had tried to do this on our own, I would have totally missed them.”
After the termites are eliminated, the best pest control companies will assist you in preventing their return. “As long as our house is made of wood, the termites are going to be attracted to it. Having the South Shore exterminators come around every so often to apply treatment that keeps them from coming back gives me peace of mind.”
