Prevention is better than Cure!
Prevention or Termite Treatment?
How much damage termites can cause will depend up the species of the termites, how established the colony is, and the availability of timber for feeding on. There are steps you can take to ensure that your home is not an active termite attraction. Moisture catalyzes the growth in termites and you should begin your termite treatment from here.
