Mississippi Lawyers. Proven Results.

Local Representation

We're based right here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. When you call, you reach a Mississippi lawyer who knows our courts, our homes, and our communities.

Coastal Focus

Gulf Coast homes face unique challenges. High humidity. Formosan termites. Older construction. We understand the specific damage patterns and company failures that affect homes in our region.

How Termite Protection Is Supposed to Work

01

The Promise

When you sign a termite contract, the company promises two things:

  • To create a chemical barrier that prevents termites from entering your home
  • To regularly inspect your home for any signs of termite activity
02

The Science

Modern termiticides — when applied correctly — create a continuous chemical barrier in the soil around your foundation. This barrier is designed to be chemically impossible for termites to cross for up to 10 years.

03

The Inspections

Annual inspections are supposed to catch any issues early — before significant damage occurs. A competent inspector checks entry points, looks for mud tubes, and verifies the barrier remains intact.

The Reality

If you have termites, the company failed.

The chemical wasn't applied correctly. The inspections weren't done properly. The documentation doesn't exist.

Usually, it's all three.

Warning Signs That Your Case May Be Stronger Than You Think

Spot Treatments During Active Infestation

If the company responded to active termites by recommending "spot treatment" instead of addressing the underlying failure, that's a problem. Spot treatments don't fix a compromised barrier — they hide the company's failure.

Unlicensed Contractors Sent to "Repair" Damage

Some pest control companies try to minimize claims by sending unlicensed contractors to quickly "fix" damage. This often destroys evidence and allows the company to later claim the damage was minor.

Blaming You for the Problem

"You have a moisture problem." "Your landscaping created conducive conditions." "This is an aerial infestation." These are common deflections. In our experience, they rarely hold up when we examine the company's actual treatment and inspection records.

What They Say vs. What We've Proven

What the Company Claims
What the Evidence Often Shows
"The damage is from moisture, not termites."
Their own inspection reports document dry conditions — or no inspections at all.
"This is an aerial infestation — not our fault."
They failed to identify above-ground colonies that competent inspectors catch.
"The contract limits our liability."
Many contract provisions are unenforceable under Mississippi law when the company commits fraud or gross negligence.
"The damage was pre-existing."
Treatment and inspection records — when they exist — tell a different story.

Why Mississippi Homeowners Choose McHard Anderson

01

We're Mississippi Lawyers

You don't need an out-of-state firm to handle your case. We practice in Mississippi courts, live in Gulf Coast communities, and understand local construction, climate, and the companies that operate here.

02

We've Tried These Cases — and Won

Many firms advertise termite cases. Few have actually taken pest control companies to trial and won multiple seven-figure verdicts. We have.

03

We Understand the Science

Termite litigation isn't simple. We know how termiticides work, how inspections should be conducted, and exactly where companies cut corners. This technical knowledge is the difference between a strong case and a weak one.

04

We Don't Chase Volume

We're selective about the cases we take. If we agree to represent you, it's because we believe your case has real value — and we're prepared to fight for every dollar you deserve.

Before You Do Anything Else

Don't Start Repairs

Once you tear out walls or replace wood, critical evidence disappears. We understand the urgency — you want your home fixed — but starting repairs before documenting the damage can hurt your case.

Don't Negotiate Directly

Pest control companies have claims adjusters, corporate lawyers, and years of experience minimizing payouts. Anything you say or agree to can be used against you later.

Don't Wait Too Long

Mississippi has deadlines for filing claims. The sooner you contact an attorney, the more options you have.

Do This Instead

Call us for a free case evaluation. We'll help you understand your rights, preserve critical evidence, and determine whether your case has value — at no cost to you.
