Emergency Guide: While You Wait In Bethlehem
Watch for shifts while you wait. If a floor sags further, if winged insects reach new rooms, or if boards start to crumble, telephone again and describe the change. The specialist may change arrival priority or advise leaving a room untouched until the visit.
Expect the specialist to check beyond the reported room. Colonies travel along framing, pipes, and soil routes, so a thorough urgent visit looks at adjoining rooms, the nearest piers or slab joints, and any damp timber nearby, even when the household only noticed insects in one place.
Dampness control deserves the most attention after an emergency. Wet crawl spaces, dripping pipes, and poor drainage keep timber attractive to colonies long after treatment ends. Correcting those conditions protects the treatment itself, which fails sooner beside permanently wet wood.
Check that stations, barriers, and treated boards remain undisturbed. Do not dig near stations, pile soil against treated walls, or stack items over inspection points. Household routines that bury the treatment also bury the evidence the specialist relies on at the next check.
