Nothing can destroy a wood baseboard faster then termites. By keeping the areas around and in your house dry and free of debris, you can help prevent termites from infesting your flooring.

Termites, like other living creatures, need water to live. Make sure that your home is leak free both indoors and outdoors. Inspect your property using a plan of the structure to ensure consistent monitoring and keep records to track any insect damage.

Rodents can infiltrate even the smallest chinks in a home's armor. A rat can squeeze through a hole as small as a quarter, safely drop 50 feet or use its 36-inch vertical jump to enter your home. Similarly agile, mice can chew their way through walls, causing costly damage. Rats, too, can gnaw through lead sheathing, cinder block, aluminum sheeting, glass and electrical wires-a common cause of fire. Rats must gnaw constantly to trim their sharp teeth, which is why they are always looking for something to chew.
