Our Story

Why We Handle Termite Cases

"Most folks believe they're buying protection when they hire a termite company. They believe they're doing the responsible thing. When that trust is betrayed, someone needs to hold these companies accountable."

— Manion Anderson

We've seen the same story dozens of times: A homeowner signs a contract thinking they have protection. Years later, they discover massive termite damage — and the company that was supposed to protect them tries to blame them for the problem.

What we've learned through depositions and trials is shocking to most people:

Technicians are severely undertrained — many don't truly understand how termiticides work or how to properly apply them
Inspections are often rushed or skipped entirely — if recorded at all, documentation is incomplete
Companies prioritize recurring payments over actual protection — they just want your credit card to go through each year

When juries see this evidence, the light goes on. They realize these companies truly don't care about protecting homes — they care about cash flow.
