Video: Preventative Termite Inspections

HAYWARD — Host, Sarah Rutan: When it comes to termite control, there’s no better defense than preventative inspections. To learn more, we’re in Hayward with Jim Mortenson of Hi Tech Termite Control of the Bay Area, speaking on behalf of Diamond Certified Expert Contributor John Williams.

Jim Mortenson: Today we’re talking about the key to effective termite control. The first thing you want to do is have a quality inspection done by a highly reputable termite company. During these inspections, we’re looking for any wood-destroying organisms, such as termites, wood-boring beetles, or infections to the wood members of your home caused by dry rot. Even if you don’t see evidence of termites or dry rot, you should definitely get a preventative inspection every 3 to 5 years. You definitely want to make sure you’re protecting your home or your business.
