In the sandy soil of Sarataoga and Albany County, termites often will invade a home with any type of water run off toward the foundation, leak or moisture problem. Termites can cause signifigant structural damage to your home and go unrecognized for quite some time. Termite damage is usually discovered during a renovation project or at the time of sale by the structural inspector. Termites may also tip their hand when there is a swarm of reproductive winged termites that are visible inside or just outside the home.

Raccoons can be a major problem when they take up residence in an attic or crawlspace. Raccoons have a tendency to colonize in the attic and have offspring.

Raccoons can cause considerable damage to your fascia/soffit and roof area upon entry and exit of the structure. After the Raccoons have been captured and removed from the property, Meerkat will repair the damage and seal up any other potential entry points.
