We know that nobody wants to be in a position where they need to call their local pest control company, but you can count on us to be there for you when you need us most.
"I recently had a disappointing experience with GreenPest management company. A sales representative pressured me into signing a one-year contract by stating that he needed to secure one customer that day. Feeling cornered, I agreed to the contract, trusting the sales guy professionalism. However, after the first service, I decided to cancel the service. I was shocked when I was informed that the cancellation fee would be $250, despite having been told initially that the service fee was $100. The customer service agent was rude and he got furious after he heard about cancellation and determined to get 250$ from me. The entire experience has left me feeling deceived and frustrated. I would caution others about the company shady practices and be wary of high-pressure sales tactics. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend GreenPest company and suggest seeking pest control services from a more transparent and customer-friendly provider."

"I used their service for two seasons, and received 7 treatments plus an Aearation & Overseeing at the end during each season. I must say that their formula works because after the first couple of treatments, my yard went from a dirt pile to sprouting full, very green grass. At the end of the two seasons, most of my yard came in, with the exception of a few bald spots near the garden. I gave them a C for price, because they are on the higher side when compared to other services-particularly the aeration service. I do like that their customer guarantee provides that they will come back out and repeat your last treatment if you aren't satisfied or aren't seeing results, and I've only had to do that twice in two seasons. Unfortunately, if you aren't home to catch the service tech who is treating your lawn, it's almost impossible to get anyone on the phone directly from the office. Calls always go through a central customer service line, and I've never spoken to my service tech, even after leaving a message or two. Which is why I gave them a C on responsiveness."

Most standard homeowners' insurance policies do not cover termite damage repairs because insurers consider these issues preventable through regular maintenance. Insurance often excludes damage from pests, rot, and gradual deterioration. Some companies offer specialized coverage options or riders, but you'll need to review your policy details carefully. Many homeowners opt for termite bonds or service contracts as alternative protection methods.
The timeline for termite damage repairs varies with project scope. Minor cosmetic fixes require only one to two days for completion. Most medium-sized repairs to non-structural elements take three to five days. Major structural repairs involving support beams or extensive flooring can extend to one to two weeks or longer. Factors affecting the timeline include damage extent, material availability, and whether additional issues like moisture problems need addressing simultaneously.
Purchasing a home with termite damage can be viable if the issues are clearly identified, properly assessed, and factored into negotiations. A comprehensive professional inspection is essential to determine repair costs and confirm termite elimination. Minor damage with appropriate price adjustments may represent a good value opportunity. However, extensive structural damage or sellers unwilling to address active infestations should raise serious concerns about the investment's wisdom.
Common termite damage indicators include hollow-sounding wood when tapped, maze-like patterns within wooden structures, buckling paint or wallpaper, sagging floors, and visible mud tubes along foundations or walls. You might also notice discarded wings near doors or windows, small pinholes in drywall, or crumbling wood. Professional inspection is recommended to confirm suspicions, as many termite damage signs resemble other issues like water damage or everyday wear.
