How these are written

Every factual claim links to a primary source: a state statute or administrative code, a licensing board advisory, a federal agency document, or university extension entomology. Never another blog and never a pest control company's own content.

Where a figure is repeated everywhere but cannot be traced to a credible source, we leave it out and say why. That includes the widely quoted annual termite damage totals and any national average inspection price. Read the full methodology.
