Protect Your Home from Costly Damage

Wood-destroying insects can silently wreak havoc on the structure of your home, compromising its integrity and causing costly repairs if left undetected. At [Your Company Name], we offer comprehensive wood-destroying insect inspections to help safeguard your investment.

Common Wood-Destroying Pests

In New Hampshire, the most common wood-destroying insects homeowners should be aware of include:

• Termites: These pests are notorious for consuming wood from the inside out, weakening the structural framework of your home.
• Carpenter Ants: Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood but excavate it to create nests, which can still lead to structural damage.
• Carpenter Bees: Known for boring into wood to lay eggs, their tunnels can weaken wood over time, particularly in decks, siding, and wooden trim.
• Powderpost Beetles: These beetles lay their eggs in wood, and their larvae bore through wood as they grow, reducing it to a fine powder and compromising its strength.

Why a Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection is Essential

Early detection of wood-destroying insects is critical to protecting your home’s structure. Left unchecked, these pests can cause significant damage that might go unnoticed until it’s too late. A thorough inspection can help:

• Identify infestations before they lead to costly repairs.
• Provide peace of mind when buying or selling a home.
• Ensure that your home remains structurally sound for years to come.

What to Expect During the Inspection

Our certified inspectors will carefully examine both the interior and exterior of your home, focusing on areas prone to infestation, including:

• Foundations and Basements: Checking for signs of insect activity or damage.
• Attics and Crawl Spaces: Inspecting hidden areas where pests can thrive.
• Wooden Structures: Closely examining decks, door frames, windowsills, and other wooden features for signs of damage or infestation.
• Moisture-Prone Areas: Wood-destroying insects are often attracted to moisture, so we inspect areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and leaky pipes.

After the inspection, we provide a detailed report of our findings and recommendations for treatment if needed.
