In Dogs We Trust
We live in a high risk termite area. Since moving to our house five years ago, we have used two different termite companies to inspect the home every other year. Each report stated that termites were not detected in the house or in a five metre radius of the building. Instead, they recommended we purchase a monitoring system that would cost us $1,000 a year. We chose to do regular inspections instead.
This year, we decided we would use Justo and his dogs to do our inspection. We knew immediately his approach to inspection and understanding of termite behaviour was different. Justo and his dogs were incredibly thorough, searching all corners of the house. He also displayed an understanding for termite behaviour and habitat that far exceeded the previous company’s – we could tell he was passionate about his work.
Unfortunately for us, Justo and his dogs found live termites both outside and inside our home. In two short years, termites had completely devoured three substantial Oregon pine beams in our house, compromising the stability of one of our bedrooms. What was worse, though, was his discovery of a very large termite “nest” less than 3 metres from our house. Both Justo and the associate he works with to treat the nest confirmed that this had been present for over five years. The previous companies missed this in the three previous inspections of our house!
Our house has been treated and today we are happy to say that we are termite free. We will absolutely continue using Justo’s services annually to inspect our property for termite activity. His associate who provided the treatment to eradicate the nest was also excellent. Justo's approach is 20 times more thorough than the previous company we used and the charge for his inspection was less! We would recommend to anyone who wants their home inspected to use his services.
