You know how we all sometimes are too quick to judge?
I recently bought a single family home that had a termite inspection letter issued by first choice pest control. A month after I moved in, I noticed swarm of flies appearing in my living room. I cleaned it up without thinking the flies reappeared again.
They turn out to be swarming termites.
What the horror when I found out that they were termites I called for quotes and had multiple companies come to my place for inspections. Being a new home buyer I didn't realized I had a resource against the company that issue the termite letter (within 90 days) until one of the inspectors shared it with me. I was wary at first if first choice would honor the letter and do a full termite chemical extermination for me because it is a costly thing to do.
I called them on a Saturday and they actually turned up the following Monday, did a thorough inspection and did everything that other companies recommended. They drilled holes every 10 feet around the house and pumped in the chemicals I needed.
Further, they even offered to come by every 3 months for the next year to do a termite inspection all free of charge! This is definitely next level service and a company that I feel like I can trust.
After speaking to a few companies, I realized that swarming termites are not something you can catch easily by looking at the foundation of the house - because they do not really eat the wood as quickly as other varieties of termites. Their sole purpose is to reproduce really while feeding off on wood really slowly. After understanding this, I really do not blame these guys for not catching the problem.
Would definitely recommend first choice pest control. read more
