Q: Is termite damage covered by insurance?
In most cases, home insurance will only cover property damage that is unexpected and accidental. Termite damage arises as a result of gradual occurrence and is considered preventable, making this an exclusion to average home insurance policies.
Termite damage, therefore, is not covered by home insurance and becomes the responsibility of the homeowner.

Q: Can I stay inside my home during the procedure?
Depending on the type of pest you have, many chemicals used for pest control are safe for humans and pets in general. If you are sensitive and or have allergies, we will accordingly advise you before the procedure.
Q: What do I need to do right after the treatment is done?
To make the treatment effective, we advise that you let the chemicals sit for a while after the treatment. Avoid mopping or other cleaning regimes that might hamper the effects.

In order to effectively prevent common pests, we recommend yearly pest control treatment unless there is a more serious infestation which may require 3 to 6 monthly treatments until we gain full control.

If you are allergic to fumes and chemicals, some pest control solutions may trigger allergies and even asthma. If you have allergic reactions to chemicals, we strongly advise that you keep away from the premise during the treatment process.
