Termites can be a destructive force for any home, secretly gnawing away behind walls, under floorboards, and along support beams. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites are responsible for up to $5 billion in property damage every year. Termite control is an effective way to defend your property against such costly damages. Here, Hilo Termite & Pest Control in Hawaii shares a few ways termite control services can save you money.

How Termite Control Saves Money in the Long Run

1. Protect Your Home's Internal Structure

As most of us know, termites feast on wood, which makes them a danger to the foundation of the house, including floorboards, support beams, and wall studs. The biggest threat termites pose is jeopardizing the structural integrity of your entire home. By avoiding such an outcome, termite control could save you tens of thousands of dollars.

2. Function as Insurance Policy

Most homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage. If a colony strikes your home and does serious damage, you'll be responsible for footing the repair bill. Termite control service eliminates this costly scenario, so it serves as a kind of insurance policy protecting you against a potential infestation.

3. Alert You to Other Threats

When you get termite control services for your home, many professionals will also be on the lookout for other pests like ants and cockroaches. In most cases, termite control is not only protecting you from the wood-devouring insects, but it's also discovering other threats against your home.
