What ongoing role does the pest control technician play post-installation?
Your pest control technician will schedule annual re-inspections as part of your termite barrier warranty protections. This comprehensive process checks both physical and chemical barriers for any breaches needing repair within the 5 year coverage period.
How quickly can termite bait help assess infestation levels?
Above ground bait stations are regularly monitored by your pest control technician once in place around the property perimeter.
