Exterminate All The Bugs!

Have you become a hostage in your own home? Are termites nibbling away at your sense of pride in owning a house? Find out how to reclaim your space from these pesky critters at Orkin's termite website. Its main page includes information on the four most common varieties of residential termite, with color illustration reminiscent of those you'd find in a Golden Book encyclopedia. "Tips About Termites" tells you how to spot termite infestation, discourage termite activity, and choose a termite control company (odds are, all roads will lead to Orkin). From the looks of things, it's really not that difficult to termite-proof your home. Just keep your gutters clean, remove all excess firewood from the house, and eliminate standing water, and you should be home free. But if it were really that easy, how do the darn things keep getting in?
