Termite Scam
Termite infestations are common in warmer and wet climates, but termites can cause damage anywhere. If you’re faced with this problem, find a reputable pest-control company. One of the scams to watch for in the pest control business is exterminators who show you proof of an infestation. To be sure, ask if the situation is old or relatively new and are they certain that these are termites and not ants. Any pest-control specialist knows the difference between ants and termites, but a winged ant may be mistaken for a termite by an untrained person. A pest control company should offer to exterminate them and not only control them.
