Termite Prevention vs Repair

The Cost of Termite Prevention vs. Repairing Termite Damage

Termite Awareness Week continues! Over the past couple of days, we have mentioned that termites can cause significant and costly damage to your home, often without you realizing it until it’s too late. The cost of prevention is far less than the cost of repairing the damage!

Termite Prevention Costs

• Initial Treatment: Costs between $500 to $1,500 and lasts up to 15 years.
• Annual Fees: Range from $100 to $300 for continued protection.
• Free Estimates: Many pest control companies, including ours, offer free termite inspections.

If you invest in prevention, you're looking at roughly $67 per year, plus annual fees. This small investment can save you thousands down the road.

Repair Costs

• Minor Damage: Repairs can cost between $500 to $1,500.
• Major Damage: Severe structural repairs can range from $3,000 to $8,000 or more.
• Extreme Cases: Costs can reach $10,000 to $30,000 for extensive damage.

Why Prevention Pays

Preventing termites is far more affordable than repairing damage. Investing in prevention not only protects your home but also maintains its value, saving you stress and money.
