Fungus grows when humidity is above 55 percent-and Hampton Roads stays humid year-round, making fungus a real concern here. Fungus can damage your home and create conditions that attract termites and other pests. It can also affect your family's health if inhaled.

A fungus treatment is a preventative solution Priority Pest applies to exposed wood under your home. The treatment lasts a very long time-as long as it's not washed off-and every home can benefit from it. Since fungus prevention also helps prevent termites, it's a smart protective step.

Call Priority Pest at (757) 204-4523 to schedule a free inspection and find out if your home would benefit from a fungus treatment.
