Unique Way To Find Termites
Often it can take years for termite damage to become visible, and by that time there can already be significant damage. So how do you identify termites before the damage? This St. Louis Post-Dispatch article reports on how a dog is being used by a St. Louis termite inspector. Just like bomb sniffing , dogs can be trained for termite sniffing. A UF study found that trained dogs can be 96% accurate. So if you're buying a house and want to make sure it's free of termites, this might be something to consider if you can find it. This St. Louis inspector charges a minimum of $250.
