thing, the pest control, but you need to do another. Get a professional =
home inspection. Get that entire area, inside and outside, underneath =
the home as well, inspected. You've got some damage somewhere that's =
going to need to be repaired. The pest control will take care of the =
termites for now. Get a termite bond and have your home inspected every =
year. Chances are they will be back.
