Alabama Termite and Pest Control admits that its President shredded all the records for every termite customer that would show how little pesticide the company has used over the years to prevent termites in the homes it has under termite bonds.

Unfortunately, this kind of fraud is rampant in the termite and pest control industry.

What a Proper Termite Inspection Involves

Almost every property in the U.S. is at risk for termite infestation.

This is a fact, according to the National Pest Management Association. Termite problems cost homeowners in the United States billions of dollars each year, and sadly most home insurance policies don’t cover termite damage.

What’s worse than dealing with expensive termite damage that insurance won’t cover? Battling so-called extermination professionals who fail to do their job.

If you placed your home in the hands of a pest control company and discover that you still have a termite problem, the first thing you need to do is get a reliable and thorough termite inspection.

Early detection will help prevent worsening damage and is critical should you find yourself involved in a termite complaint lawsuit.

The attorneys at Campbell Law will get as dirty as it takes.

What do I do if I find termite damage?

You might wonder, “Can I Fix Termite Damage Myself?” Repairing termite damage is a painstaking process. Doing the work yourself might void your termite claim.
