Protect your Home from Termites
Termite damage is one of the most expensive pest problems homeowners face.
Structural repairs can cost thousands and damage is often not covered by insurance.
Early treatment is always cheaper than repair.
Common Termites in Philadelphia
The most common type in Philadelphia:
Subterranean Termites
These termites live underground in large colonies and build mud tunnels that gives them easy access to your home. Because they require moisture, you will often find them near near foundations, poorly ventilated crawl spaces, basements, and around plumbing leaks.Subterranean termites feed on wood and other cellulose materials. They will destroy any wood in your house, including floor joists, wall studs, sill plates, wood siding, etc. Without proper termite treatment, colonies can grow rapidly and destroy the foundations of your home.

Termite Treatment Cost
