Termites

As landlords, one of our worst nightmares came true when we got a phonecall from our property manager saying that the house we're renting out had suffered damages due to termites in drywall. We were stationed in Germany at that time and our property is in southern Georgia. I immediately contacted the local pest control company to have the problem fixed right away. I sure wished I had taken the necessary precautions such as treating the house against termites before the problem occured. I wouldn't have spent nearly as much money on damage control as I did. I guess the old folks knew what they were talking about: "An ounce of PREVENTION is worth a pound of CURE".
