As the COVID-19 pandemic begins to slowly wrap up, we will be seeing report after report come out regarding the last year\u2019s events and how it affected various industries. One industry whose report I was particularly interested in was in home improvement and how much people spent in remodeling their homes while they were shut in during the peak lockdown periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one particularly lengthy deep dive into the statistics around home improvement, I happened to catch a glimpse of a tangential industry and how the pandemic affected them: pest control. With the huge number of additions being constructed by bored homeowners, pest control and termite exterminators were hard at work treating the new structures and providing spot treatments for buildings whose insides were exposed for the first time in decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With most people stuck at home, they had the added benefit of being able to spot termite infestations much earlier than usual, with 66% of pest control companies<\/a> reporting that customers became aware of termite issues sooner than in the past. \u201cSwarming\u201d, or the initial stages of infestation, is often missed by homeowners who are away during the day for work. Many homeowners were able to witness the disturbing spectacle for the first time during their work-from-home escapades, which made for a much easier pest disposal process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hasn\u2019t magically ended with the worst of the pandemic \u2013 many of us are still working from home, voluntarily or otherwise, and therefore may be blessed to see the swarms of termites<\/a> encroaching on our domains. For those of you in southern California who are lucky enough to be chosen by the termite queens, Grand Oaks Termite Control can help get rid of your unwelcome guests quickly and for a reasonable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Grand Oaks? Well, they have one of the best ratings we\u2019ve seen for a pest control company, with many customers raving about their customer service and their carpentry skills when patching up structures damaged by the invading insects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI highly recommended Grand Oaks Termite Control.\u00a0 I had an unusual situation where there were many areas of my wood paneling and roof that were affected by termites and wood rot. I have a decorative tree growing through the front part of my home which makes it very difficult to treat without damaging the tree. When Jason came for the preliminary inspection, he knew exactly how to effectively treat my home without harming my favorite tree. His estimate was very reasonable, and his communication was top notch. He kept me appraised of all the curve balls and never stuck me with any unexpected cost. I was very impressed with the workmanship of his teammate Gary who took care of all the woodwork, a true craftsman.<\/p>

I can wholeheartedly recommend Grand Oaks without any hesitation.\u201d <\/p>John B., Yelp Review<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
