Source Methodology

TermiteHQ prioritizes credible, practical, and transparent sources for termite education.

Core Standards

• Preferred sources include university extension resources, public pest-management guidance, government or regulatory references, peer-reviewed entomology research where relevant, manufacturer-neutral education, and professional field experience.
• Cost, warranty, local-risk, and treatment-comparison pages should state that real pricing and availability vary by property, inspection findings, region, provider, treatment method, access, and local rules.
• We avoid presenting private provider marketing claims as universal facts unless clearly attributed and balanced.
• We separate source-backed facts from expert context, editorial interpretation, and homeowner checklists.
• When sources are incomplete or local conditions vary, the content should say so rather than overstating certainty.

How This Protects Readers

Termite decisions often involve inspection uncertainty, treatment cost, possible property damage, report language, warranty terms, and local professional requirements. This policy keeps TermiteHQ content useful without pretending to replace professional inspection, treatment, engineering, legal, or regulatory advice.
