Disinfectant

When you consider that the average termite damage repair costs homeowners $3,000 to $8,000—with severe cases exceeding $20,000—the $75 to $150 investment in a professional inspection represents excellent value. Early detection through regular inspections can prevent small problems from becoming expensive nightmares.

While bleach may offer a quick, inexpensive fix for weed problems, its environmental risks, limited effectiveness against established perennial weeds, and potential for collateral damage make it a poor choice for regular garden use. The short-term convenience simply doesn’t outweigh the long-term consequences to your soil health and local ecosystem.
