Yes, slab homes need termite protection. Living on a slab puts you closer to the ground, and you can't see under the floor or inside walls-areas where termites thrive. Preventative measures are essential to keep them out.

Priority Pest Services recommends having your slab home inspected for termite risk. A free home inspection identifies potential problems and protective steps. Call (757) 204-4523 to book your inspection and discuss preventative options.
