“We Didn’t Know We Had Termites”—Until the Wall Collapsed
It started with a tiny crack in the baseboard.
Then one morning, the vacuum sank into the wall like quicksand. The homeowner peeled it back and froze. Behind it?
A 10-foot termite gallery. Alive and thriving.
By the time pest control was called, it was too late. They needed new walls, baseboards, and subflooring. Cost: $9,600. Insurance? Didn’t cover a cent.
That’s the part most people miss.
Termites don’t make noise. They don’t knock. They don’t leave a note. They just eat. Quietly. From the inside out.
By the time you see damage, the colony’s already won.
What works?
- One termite inspection per year (especially in the South)
- Keep mulch and firewood at least 10 feet away from your house.
- Check crawlspaces and attics for signs of trouble.
Most infestations start with moisture and end with regret.
We check for termites during our regular Zooby Do maintenance visit for no extra fee. No pitch. Just prevention.
