What’s the Difference Between Residential Termite Control and Commercial Termite Control?

Termites are equal opportunity pests. They are just as likely to invade residences as they are to enter businesses. While there’s a significant difference between residential and commercial termite control, expectations of your pest control company are the same – No More Bugs!

The Residential Termite Meal vs. the Commercial Termite Meal

Though homes may vary in style and size, most contain wood within the structure. This is not the case with many commercial buildings. While termites are feasting on the beams that support a home, in a commercial establishment, they are most often a threat to the contents of the building, including furniture, cardboard boxes and trim. Anything that is cellulose-based is at risk.

Remediation vs. Prevention

An alert homeowner can learn how to recognize the signs of termite activity that would call for a termite inspection to remedy a termite problem. Because of the monetary value of the affected contents and the loss of operational time to remedy the termite infestation, many businesses choose a strategy of regularly scheduled termite prevention. While a family can leave home for the short period of time it takes to control pest termites, the disruption of business operations requires greater consideration and flexibility from a pest control company.
