"The only reason I did not hire this company is I am in negotiations to sell my house and buyer decided to complete pest control in lieu of closing cost assistance. Otherwise, I would have definitely used this company because of their professionism, efficiency, knowledge sharing, pricing and friendliness."

"I called Clegg's and scheduled an appointment for an estimate. JJ came out as scheduled and gave me an estimate for termite treatment and yard spray for mosquitos (rated separately). The estimate paperwork was pretty straightforward, but I had to verify the fuzzy carbon copied information on my copy. I was surprised that there was no guarantee to pay for future damage like other companies claimed, just a promise of retreatment if I kept up the annual fee - at least I learned that up front. After negotiating the price and what would be included, he had me document my request via email, including the agreed final price, so he could go ahead and have the termite team set up a time at my convenience. They were very accommodating about my work schedule.
The two man team came out close to the appointment time, did a thorough job of drilling, trenching and infusing the Termidor pesticide (fipronil) for about 3.5 hours. They made sure the drilled holes were as inconspicuous as possible along the foundation and inside the garage. They quit promptly at 5:00PM with part of the house remaining, but luckily I had time off work the next day. The team came back for another hour (one different man) and finished the infusing of the holes, sealed every one with cement and cleaned up very nicely. The team steadily worked hard and got the job done. Other than the necessary hundreds of filled holes needed to get the pesticide under the slab, the house base looked clean and neat.
As far as the billing, I thought I would get a bill in the mail, but was called while at a family event to immediately pay the bill in full with my credit card over the phone. I didn't mind paying quickly, but didn't know that would be the process. That would be good to understand up front.
I went with Clegg's even though they were a little higher estimate because when I asked the chemical name for the Termidor, JJ honestly stated he did not know, but would get back to me with the information. Another company gave me misleading information, claiming their product and costs were cheaper because they used the "generic Termidor." I looked it up later and found out it was a completely different chemical - ignorance or deception? A third company never answered their phone, but I couldn't delay getting the treatment done. I was happy with Cleggs termite service (separate review for yard spray).

FAQs for termite pest control service projects in Rutherfordton, NC

Termite infestations display clear warning signs. Home inspections reveal mud tubes connecting wood to subterranean nests, visibly damaged or hollow wood, clusters of discarded termite wings, and areas where paint bubbles or buckles. These indicators alert homeowners to early termite activity and potential structural damage, signaling the need for a prompt professional evaluation.

Termites do not commonly bite humans or pets, but it is possible. Even if termites bite you, you aren't likely to notice or be bothered by it because their jaws are so small. If you have bug bites and aren’t sure where they are coming from, you may have another type of insect infestation. Find a local bed bug exterminator as soon as possible if you think you might have bed bugs in your home.

Many homeowners' insurance policies do not cover termite damage. Check with your insurance agent or review your policy to be sure, but it is unlikely that it is covered. However, because termite inspections are often free, you can get an annual inspection and treat problems affordably before they get out of hand.

Termites zero in on cellulose, so anything made of wood—siding, framing, or that backyard deck—can lure them in. Soft or damp lumber is an even bigger magnet, which is why leaks and high humidity spell trouble. Seal and treat exposed wood, fix plumbing leaks quickly, and keep crawl spaces dry to make your home less appealing to a wandering colony.

A termite bond is a service agreement that guarantees coverage against termite treatment costs and lasts for one to three years. These bonds secure zero additional extermination expenses during the covered period and allow for reactivation after expiration with a fee. This agreement protects homeowners from unexpected treatment costs following an infestation.
