How Hopper Termite & Pest Can Help Prevent Termites in Your New Home
Buying a new home can be stressful. Many spend hours researching and going over the details such as finding the perfect neighborhood or how close their job is to a potential new home. However, many don’t necessarily think of pests and termites when they are about to move into a new home.
The good news is that you don’t have to worry. Here are some ways that a simple phone call to Hopper Termite & Pest can help prevent termites and termite damage in your new home.
Prevent Termites in New Home Construction
When it comes to building a new home, people go the extra length to make sure everything is perfect. From the type of flooring to put in each room to the type of door handles, there are a lot of things to consider and decisions to be made before the keys can be handed over.
One thing that can get passed up in all the planning of your dream home is protecting your future home from termites. This is especially important if your home is constructed primarily of wood. If you want to play it safe, you can have your new home pre-treated for termites as it is being constructed. This allows wood that is normally covered by drywall, insulation, and other building material to be treated to better aid in termite prevention.
Termite Inspections Can Save You Money in the Long Run
Not everyone starts out with a brand new home. There are many who buy homes that are already built. During the process of purchasing a new home, buyers sometimes experience overwhelm with all of the things they need to do in order to get their mortgage loan approved.
One of the required tasks is setting up a termite inspection. At Hopper, we perform hundreds of these inspections each year. Not only do we have the experience, but our inspectors are highly trained, qualified, and licensed by the state. Our inspectors are also trained to look for more than just termites. We also look for other wood-eating insects such as carpenter ants and carpenter bees that can also cause major damage to wooden structures.
Homeowners Have the Final Say in Termite Treatment
If you are in the process of building a new home, it’s important to communicate with your contractors. When it comes time to pre-treat and spray the home for termites, many contractors will either use a company they consistently use or someone who is cheaper. If you have a choice or preference for a termite company, it’s important to let your contractor know.
You also have a choice if you purchased a pre-built home. If the previous owners had a termite treatment contract prior to you purchasing the home, you should know that you do NOT have to stick with the same company for termite protection. The choice for termite treatment is up to the current homeowners.
