Formosan Termites Ctsy: pestworld.org

Termite claims in and around Mobile, AL, can teach you a lot. First, the bug companies don’t always treat the bugs, and second, the bug companies don’t always treat the customer … right.

According to Terminix, Mobile is the number one most termite-infested metro area in 2019. It is likely to be that way in 2020. That means you will probably need protection.

Here is the bottom line for Mobile and the surrounding areas. We have found that some pest control companies are not doing the things they promise and then not paying out when the bugs eat your house.

Here is how it works. Through testimony, some companies have admitted to using inferior chemicals to reduce costs. That’s reduced costs to them, not to you. And this may shock you, some companies are billing homeowners but not treating the homes at all.

Here is just one example. A pest control company was ordered to pay more than 2 million dollars for defrauding the owners of a historic house in south Alabama. In nearly 40 years, the company was shown to have never completed a proper treatment of the home.

ServiceMaster, a pest control, restoration, and cleaning services provider, states that the Mobile area is especially infested with Formosan Termites, often referred to as “super termites.” According to pestworld.org, they have been called the most “voracious, aggressive and devious of over 2,000 termite species known.” They can chew through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper undetected.
