Frequently Asked Questions About Pest Control

Termites are often called silent destroyers because they can be active for months or even years before visible damage appears. By the time termites are noticed, repairs can be costly. Termite protection helps stop damage before it starts and protects the structure of your home.

Homes with termite protection should be inspected annually. At BREDA, our inspections focus on both the interior and exterior of your home because termites inside the structure are the biggest concern.

Liquid termite treatments create a protective zone around your home, while bait stations work by attracting and eliminating termites as they forage. Both methods are highly effective, and BREDA determines the best option based on your home and conditions, not a one size fits all approach.

Termite protection helps eliminate termites and prevent future damage, but it does not repair damage that already exists. This is why early protection and routine inspections are so important for homeowners.

Most homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage. That is why termite protection is often considered termite insurance. It helps prevent thousands of dollars in damage that would otherwise be paid out of pocket.

BREDA offers a 10 year locked renewal rate, while most companies raise prices every year. We also perform detailed inspections inside and outside the home and focus on stopping termites where homeowners care most, inside the structure.

Without ongoing protection, termites can return. BREDA's termite protection plans are designed to provide continuous coverage and long term peace of mind.

With BREDA, your protection is designed to last year after year, backed by regular inspections and a renewal rate locked in for 10 years. But, the termite protection is only as good as the annual termite inspection to make sure no conducive conditions arise and deteriorate the effectiveness of the termite protection system.

The State of GA requires all pest control companies to maintain a signed agreement with it's clients during time of service. Here at Breda Pest Management, our clients are never "locked-in" to service contracts. We want our clients to welcome us in their homes to keep them pest free and therefore we simply renew the terms of the signed agreement, quarter to quarter. We service our clients every 90 days and they can cancel their service at anytime, for any reason, without the pressures of a "locked-in" contract.

We offer a Quarterly Pest Control Program, where we service the home once every 3 months. We believe it is just as important to service the inside every quarter as it is the outside. At Breda, we don't believe in taking shortcuts, that's why we service both inside and outside perimeters every time we come to your home. If you have any problems between the scheduled quarters, we come back at no charge. We also schedule specific appointment times. We know how valuable your time is and we won't give you a "window" for an arrival time.

Most Realtors will advise their clients to have a termite letter for the purchasing home. With the ever-changing housing market, some Realtors and Lenders are not requiring termite letters at closing and it is the responsibility of the purchasing homeowner to obtain the WDO Report.
