Understanding Termite Control Termites pose a significant threat to the structural integrity of homes, particularly in regions like Surrey and Richmond in British Columbia, where moisture levels can support their growth. HiTech Services specializes in advanced termite control techniques that protect your home from these destructive pests, preserving your investment and ensuring your living spaces remain safe and sound.
Historical Background The battle against termites has been ongoing as long as humans have built structures from wood. Early methods of termite control were rudimentary and often involved replacing affected wood. By the mid-20th century, as the understanding of termite biology improved, more effective chemical and baiting systems were developed. In British Columbia, comprehensive termite control strategies have been in place since the 1980s, aligning with advancements in environmental safety and pest management technologies.
