Bedbug Treatments (yep, bedbugs are real)

Pestworld

Stomp them out!

Eliminator.

EEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

Bug Gone

Those are catchy, but probably most people will look to see a regular name such as John’s Pest control. Using logo’s such as I and the others have shown would be catchy, but as a name may alienate the older customer and think that you are a fly-by-night company.

A Bug’s Death. With the logo thing from the movie, A bug’s Life.

XD

I quote from the Termite report:

Item 1: "Cellulose Debris (wood, paper products) with evidence of subterranean termites was noted in the substructure areas."

Item 2: Drywood termites were noted to Attic.

Item 3: Evidence of Drywood termite pellets noted to Attic.

Item 4: Fungus has damaged the underlayment/subflooring to the bathroom floor. Recommend to remove the floor covering and underlayment for further inspection
According to the termite report, the proposed costs are:
Item 1: $495
Item 2: $495
Item 3: $5
Item 4: $595

Shortstuff is correct. I would add that the costs shown are not anywhere near accurate.

I believe if you have dry wood termites, that will require tenting the house and I would suspect that is well more than $500 or $600 dollars.

The subflooring problem is still undefined so the cost may be only to open things up for a look and not to do any repair.

No Rest for Pests

Bugs-B-Gone

I like the one who said…Pest Arrest

Clean Sweep

Rid A Pest

Substructure areas may require replacement.
Some roof may need to be removed for attic repairs
The fungus will need to be removed.
You need to get some estimates, but I would guess anywhere from 3K to 50K depending on the damage. Of course it could be more.

If the proposed costs are from the pest management company then that is just for treatment and not any repairs

I have an upright piano of about 17 years. It is well-maintained and regularly tuned. I am now wondering if years down the road, my piano will be infested with termites despite the continuous good care as I read that termites feed on the wood from within the structure. I live in a tropical country in an apartment (not landed property) so if there is any termites problem, it will be the drywood termites.

Now, I wish to get a grand piano. But the thought of such a big piece of wood being gnawed by these termites perhaps years down the road is making me think twice about getting one. Will grand pianos still be infested over time despite preventive measures and good maintence?

Has anyone’s upright/grand piano fallen victim to these termites? If you have, what did you do to solve the problem? Is it worth buying an expensive grand piano knowing there is a possibility of termites infesting the wood?

abluheron1 is right. In order for termites to feed on wood, they have to be able to get back to the ground. Termites live on a 24 hour cycle. They will go "up" your walls and eat and go back down into the soil to get a "drink." I would not be concerned about termites eating your piano. Chances are, there is no wood touching the floor as most pianos are on rollers. There has to be some way for the termite to have access to the wood. Termites are very fragile creatures and even direct sunlight will kill them when they are not in their "swarming" phase.

Pest’s R us

Is fumigation is necessary when u have dry-wood termites & subterranean termites?? how do i know that the company is doing it the right way and using right chemicals? Also how do i know the contracter perform their work necessary and correctly to get rid of the termites? How does the company(s) treat subterranean termites and how long does the chemicals (if any) stay in the ground and wood? Is orange oil reliable on drywood and subterranean termites

look on the internet and research all your questions that you have about termite companies.
