Cautiously Protecting Your Hard-Earned Sanctuary!

As the head of the family, (whether you are a couple; a single parent or still single but with plans of having your own family soon) your main concern is your ‘family’ including yourself.  You work hard day and night to provide for the basic needs of your household like the following:

ü  Food

ü  Clothing

ü  Shelter

ü  Education

ü  Gadgets

ü  Leisure

                                   

From the above list, most people prefer to invest on shelter.  Some reason out why: “Because this is the place where we will build our dreams and spend quality time with our family until we age.”  Actually, we don’t call it shelter or house; we call it “Home”.  It takes years of hard work just to build a dream house.  If someone is given the choice, instead of renting an apartment or acquiring a condo, he will choose to build his very own house that he can proudly say “it’s mine” (in the whole essence of the word).  Sacrifices are made in order to save large amount of money for the realization of the project. Plans on every design, from the roof to the floor; and even to the slightest details in and out of the house are considered carefully. But the need for protection is overlooked. How? Some are not cautious in protecting their hard-earned sanctuary! But, one may ask, is there a real need to secure and protect the house from dangerous household little pests’ such as:

Ø  Termites

Ø  Palmetto Bugs (different kinds of cockroaches)

Ø  Mice or Rats

Ø  Ants

All of these pests are very harmful.  Cockroaches, mice, rats and ants cause health-threatening diseases. But Termites is on top of the list!  In fact, $5 billion per year have been spent to the damages caused according to some records in America.  The hard-earned money used to build the family’s sanctuary will be in vain, if the homeowner do nothing to prevent it from being a ‘delicious target’ of pests.

During the planning stage of the house-building, considering how to protect and fortify it is also of utmost importance.  Inquiring about residential pest control services could be of great help.  These pest control companies can make a survey of your lot to find out if it is at high risk of termite attacks and other pests as well.  They can help in fortifying and securing your perimeter from the ground up to the ceiling.  This is the best pattern of securing your home from future attackers. Termites as smart travelers  can travel up to 350 feet away from the colony just to look for food and can comprehensively cover an area up to a half acre in size.  Thus, unconsciously risking the foundation and security of one’s hard-earned dream house is so unimaginable! Why not outsmart them? Seek information on the various treatments that can control future attacks of these harmful, destructive pests by planning ahead. By all means, cautiously protect your family and your hard-earned sanctuary!
