Q : Where do termites come from? A : Termite colonies are located underground. They are usually found near rotting wood (dead trees, old pallets, firewood, etc.). They also need a water source, areas where the ground is moist because of a water run-off or a leaky faucet. If there are termites located around your home, eventually they may enter the interior of your home if no previous treatment has been done. |

Q : How do I get rid of fruit flies? A : Best way to get rid of fruit flies is to treat their breeding source.

By cleaning the areas mentioned above and removing over-ripened fruits/produce you can reduce the amount of fruit fly infestation. |
