Wed 06 Nov 2019
Everyone loves a good DIY story. There are some areas that it can turn out well and save you money. Making birthday cakes and restoring furniture are up there. One area that you should always avoid though is pests in your home. When it comes to DIY termite treatments, you won't be producing a feel-good story afterwards. Its always best to get the professionals, like us here at Conquer Termites Northside.

We've had many customers learn this the hard way. They think that by using DIY termite treatments they can solve their problem and save money. There are many DIY termite treatments available at local hardware stores. Unfortunately, this can reinforce those thoughts. If your home is infested though, the only way to ensure you save your home is to call a professional.

Termites are the real deal. One customer of ours always stands out when thinking about this. He had been doing his own DIY termite treatments for years. He knew he had termites but thought what he was doing was enough. His result though, was a ruined home. The termites shredded his house.
It was a big house too, and relatively new at 10 years old. It was 5 bedrooms in size, but unfortunately by the time he called us only 2 rooms in the whole house were unaffected. Aside from the costs of treatment on a property that big, he also had construction and repair costs to see to afterwards. All of which could have been avoided, if he just avoided DIY termite treatments.

A big issue with termite damage is that it is generally not covered by home insurance. That means any damage in your home from termites will need to be fixed with money out of your own pocket. Thats why its important to get the right people in to fix any pest issues quickly. Our tradesmen are specifically trained for this. That means they know exactly how to get rid of termites from your home and prevent the damage they can cause. They can also assist you with preventing reinfestation.
