Your Home Insurance May Not Cover Termite Damage!

,

Did you know that your home insurance policy may not cover termite damage? In fact, most homeowner’s policies do not typically cover the damage done by these obnoxious little creatures which could mean some costly repair bills to exterminate and repair your home.

A termite protection plan (also known as a termite warranty) could be the answer. A termite protection plan involves periodic treatments from a termite specialist who inspects and treats your home every six months or once a year.

You may have heard about termite warranties when purchasing a home or looking into termite treatment. Simply put, a termite warranty is an agreement between a pest control provider and a homeowner that typically states that if a home suffers a termite infestation while being treated by the pest control provider, the pest control provider will eliminate the infestation and pay for home repairs that may be necessary. It’s like insurance from termite damage.

If you live in Texas, you probably know just how much damage termites can do, but did you know that Americans spend over two billion dollars every year repairing damage done by termites, according to the EPA? Did you also know that the average cost of termite damage to a homeowner is $3,000 and that costs can sometimes exceed tens of thousands of dollars? If you’re worried about becoming part of that statistic, explore the Ideal Partners website to see our protection options. Ideal Partners’ treatment warranties start at $199 annually and full damage warranties start at $299 annually, which is a great deal for peace of mind.

Another important reason to keep an up-to-date termite protection plan in place is the consistent protection and peace of mind that it can provide. Contracting for and maintaining your termite warranty assures that you have one less thing to worry about now and in the future. So if your home isn’t protected from termites, or if you’re worried that your current plan isn’t protecting your house enough, give our professionals at Ideal Partners a call today for a free estimate.

What Should I Do? Termite Swarms!

,

Springtime in Texas can mean a few things: the flowers are going to bloom, you can wear short sleeves again and termites are sure to be on the move. Springtime is also the time when termite hives produce swarmers, adults that fly out from the nest and repopulate the colony. Termite swarmers aren’t very good flyers, so if you see them around, it likely means there is an infestation in a nearby tree or potentially in your home. The best way to keep these pests out of your home is to treat your home regularly, as you likely won’t notice an active infestation until significant damage has been done to your home’s interior and framework.

What to Do

If you’re seeing termite swarms outdoors, that’s okay. Termites are pretty common around North Texas and Fort Worth, so it doesn’t necessarily spell disaster. Inspect your home for termites by looking for swarmers inside your home. You can also look for wings and dirt in odd places indoors, like on doorjambs or the walls. If you’re seeing any of these signs, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with an active infestation and should seek a termite inspection and termite treatment from professional exterminators, like the experts at Ideal Partners, immediately.

Other tips include keeping outside lights off at night, removing untreated wood like firewood from around the house, and eliminating areas where standing water persists near the house to keep a swarm from being attracted to your home. Of course, nothing works as well as a professional termite treatment done on a regular basis.
