No pest is quite as destructive as the termite. Capable of damaging homes if left untreated, termites cause U.S. homeowners nearly $5 billion in damages each year. Even worse—homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover the costs of termite removal! Regular inspections are the key to preventing termites, saving you the costs and frustrations of an infestation. The termite exterminators at Springer Professional Home Services are committed to protecting you from termites year-round.
