Managing Termite Risk

Managing Termite Risk

3/23/2017

There are a lot of ways businesses defer risk. And, there are many types of insurance that safeguard against the unexpected. If you’re not prepared for the unexpected, it can kick your feet out from underneath you. No business needs that. That is why it is important to understand how to manage termite risk. Here’s why.

Termites are silent pests that feed on the inside of wood, sometimes for years, without being detected. When termite damage is discovered, it is often costly, or impossible, to fix. This can put any company in a state of crisis. Unless, of course, there is a plan in place to cover termite damage. But, even with a termite damage warranty, repairs will still need to be done. This can be frustrating and inconvenient. That’s why the best way to manage termite risk is to ensure that termites are never allowed to feed on your property in the first place.

At Schendel Pest Services, we protect businesses with the Sentricon® System with Always Active™. This is an award-winning, eco-friendly termite solution that directly targets invading termites. Not only does this bait system stop termites in their tracks, it sends workers back to the colony that sent them to share the bait. This slow-acting bait works its way all the way to the queen without setting off any alarms. And, when the queen dies, the colony dies. That means no more worker termites coming to feed on the wood of your structure, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

As we head into spring, now is the time to put your termite protection in place. Spring is when many termite colonies send out swarmers to start new nests. Don’t wait until you see swarmers crawling around on your exterior walls, or for tiny white wings to pile up on your window sills. Be proactive. Manage your termite risk by having Sentricon® with Always Active™ installed. When you have ongoing termite service for your business, YOU decide how much you’re going to allow termites to cost. That is real peace of mind.

Don’t let termite damage catch you by surprise and send your business into a tailspin. Protect your equity, and protect your bottom line, with always active, low-profile, eco-friendly termite bait stations, with support and monitoring from the team here at Schendel Pest Services.

Subterranean termites cost U.S. property owners over $5 billion dollars annually. Don’t become part of that statistic. You take enough risks with your business. Don’t take a risk on termite damage. Get termite service in place today.
