Kilter Termite Control

Other harmful pests include ticks, cockroaches, and the like – all of which can post health threats to both humans as well as their pets. Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and asthma attacks have all been linked to allergens and pathogens carried by vermin, not to mention the 500,000 people who end up hospitalized due to a stinging insect on an annual basis.
Today we’ve got some general termite control and pest management tips that for you that you can address regarding the exterior of your home; what better month to take care of this sort of thing than National Pest Management month, after all?

Trim tree branches back, and ensure there are is at least 18” of space in between any shrubs or bushes and the foundation line of your property.
