What Are Termites?
Termites are small insects that feed on wood and other materials found in buildings. They live in colonies underground and travel through tunnels to get to their food source; when they encounter wood, they will start to eat away at it until it is completely destroyed.
Unfortunately, this process can go unnoticed for some time before the signs become obvious for homeowners and business owners. That is why regular property inspections are vital; that way, infestations can be identified early on and dealt with accordingly using termite pest control near Franklin, Massachusetts.

C"I cannot express my appreciation enough for Jeremy and Zack! I called about a hornet nest in the wall while my husband was in the emergency room for an allergic reaction to a sting he received while trying to deal with the situation. Jeremy gave me the earliest possible appointment two days out with the promise of a call if someone could squeeze us in sooner. Enter Zack. He came 2 1/2 hours later and dealt with the nest, putting us all at ease. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The BEST customer service."Clare
