Pests can be a nuisance in and around your home or
business. Aside from being harbingers of disease or allergies, they can send
negative publicity your way, necessitating the need to counteract a stained
reputation with costly marketing campaigns. Moreover, when left unchecked, the
activity of vermin, in particular, can also result in physical property damage
worth thousands of dollars. That leads to an essential question about whom to
call when you encounter a bug problem.
Vapor barriers are recommended for all homes especially
older homes to keep dampness under control. This thin sheeting creates a
barrier between water and your home. When applied professionally and uniformly,
all across the dirty areas and up the crawl space walls, it keeps the water in
its place, in the soil.
These vapor barriers also limit the moisture level in the
wood in your crawl space. Moist wood is very appealing to termites. Wood rot
provides them a nice tasty meal.
If the moisture content in the wood in your home in your
crawl space is tested and results in a 20% level or higher, termites can exist
even with professional treatment. That’s why your First Choice Pest Control
technician may recommend a combination of chemical treatment, bait stations and
moisture barrier to keep the termites away for good.
Energy efficiency, better maintaining a controlled
climate while saving on energy cost. Prevent the deterioration of the
building materials (wood, insulation) by moisture. The moisture barrier protects
against condensation. Health problems caused by molds.
