Termite Season is Here
Termite season is upon us and just like every termite season before this one, most home owners will take the 'out of sight, out of mind' approach to termites, meaning if they don’t see a problem, there isn't a problem. I've seen homeowners spend thousands and thousands of dollars to repair termite damage (Texas Insurance Companies report over $10 million dollars in insurance claims due to termites, annually), homes fail inspection during a sale due to termite issues and walls literally crumble due to these little critters. It's not as uncommon as you think and that's why this is one area I do my best to educate my customers on the importance of protecting their homes from termites. You see, most homeowner have fixed monthly expenses such as a mortgages, electricity bills, water bills, etc. Those are seen as necessary costs while expenses for services like termite control are seen as a nuisance expense - unnecessary and lacking in benefit. While I've never been one to enjoy paying bills, I can personally attest to termite control being an expense that can save you a small fortune in the long run.Termite colonies often consist of a million termites. Take a look around your home and try to imagine a million termites living in your walls, eating the support beams and nesting their larvae. Termites will eat and consume any wooden structure in your home until there is nothing left but a hollow shell. Granted this doesn’t happen over night, but if neglected over time it can leave your investment in really bad shape. You’ve invested time, money and memories into your home and it should be protected from every enemy.

Bed Bugs Are Visiting Austin Once Again

Absolute Pest Management located off South Congress in Austin TX has started offering free estimates for the treatment of Bed Bugs for all central Texas residents. Bed bugs are small, brownish, flattened insects that feed solely on the blood of animals and humans. Their name comes from their tendency to live between mattresses and feed on bed occupants at night. Bed Bugs have not been considered a real problem in the United States for many years; they have been more prevalent in other parts of the world. However over recent years they have made a comeback in the United States and Texas is no different. That's why Absolute Pest Management is offering a free estimate to help residents in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Kyle, Buda, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Hutto and other surrounding areas rid there homes of these pests.
