By Kimberly Campbell


Ownership of a home is the fondest dream of numerous families and they often have to work very hard, save for a long time and even make sacrifices before they can make this dream come true. This asset needs to be protected, however. The weather, insects and other pests and time all see to it that homes need to be constantly maintained. Pests, such as termites, can be especially destructive and without professional termite control LA County residents may face very serious damage to their properties.

Many types of pests can be spotted easily but not termites. By the time even one of them is spotted, there may already be a colony of many thousands of termites busy with their destructive work. Termites eat a lot of things, including wood of all sorts, books, filters and insulation materials. An undisturbed colony can complete destroy an entire home in a very short space of time.

Prevention is better than cure. Because it is so difficult to spot termites when they first appear, it is best to take steps that will prevent them from setting up a colony in the vicinity of the home in the first place. This should be done even when there have never been signs of termites before. It is not worth it to take a chance and a service contract with a reputable pest control company is not all that expensive.

Most retailers offer a variety of products that all promise to prevent termites from settling in or around a home. Unfortunately, many home owners think they are protected after placing these products, but this is not always the case. The placement of the deterrent chemicals requires expert knowledge and lots of experience in the behavior of these insects. If the chemicals are place in the wrong places, termites will still have access.

The best course of action is to get professional pest control contractors to deal with the issue. Many of the DIY products simply do not work. Many home owners have rest assured that they are properly protected only to face serious damages at a later stage. Professions know exactly what type of chemicals to use, how to deploy it and how to make sure that the entire property is protected.

Apart from the fact that many of them are not effective, commonly available products often pose a serious risk to the health of humans and animals, including pets. Professionals only use products that will not harm the environment or any living being. The products used by professionals can provide protection for up to five years. It is therefore unlikely that home owners will save money by taking a DIY approach.

The very thought of the extent of the damage that can be caused by termites should make home owners careful when they hire a pest control contractor. They should be able to guarantee their work and they must be able to furnish valid references. Reputable contractors will visit new sites on a regular basis to make sure that the remedy is effective. In many cases they also offer long term pest control service contracts.
