Terminix Taps HGTV Star to Raise Termite Awareness

As a rehabber Starsiak Hawk has a lot of experience with termite-damaged homes. She estimates that out of the 100+ homes that she’s renovated on her show, only a handful of them did NOT have signs of termite damage. In filming season 6 of Good Bones, she recently worked on a house that had over $20,000 in termite damage.

Starsiak Hawk noted in a press release that most general home inspections are not thorough enough to notice a termite infestation, which is why it’s so important to have a pest control professional inspect your home. “Termite inspections are incredibly necessary, especially considering how much time people are spending in their homes right now,” she said. “A home purchase is one of the biggest purchases you’re going to make in your life and a huge, valuable asset that you’re going to want to maintain. Termite inspectors are going to go places that your general inspector isn’t necessarily looking. They’re going to dig a little bit deeper and look specifically for a termite problem.”
