Don't delay after multiple indicators
TL;DR: When Location + Timing + Recurrence + Spread all align, delay costs thousands. Multiple LTRS factors = schedule inspection immediately.
When delay becomes expensive
- Exponential damage: Each month of delay = more structural members compromised, higher repair costs.
- Treatment complexity: Larger infestations need more extensive (expensive) treatment methods.
- Resale impact: Extensive damage history affects property value even after treatment.
- Safety risk: Structural failure in load-bearing members creates immediate hazards.
LTRS stacking indicators
⚠️ Schedule inspection if you see 2+ of these:
- L: Signs at foundation seams, slab edges, or plumbing penetrations (high-risk zones)
- T: Appeared after rain + warm weather, or during spring swarm season
- R: Signs return within 24-48 hours after cleanup
- S: New signs appearing in adjacent rooms or expanding along walls
What to do now
- Document all signs with LTRS framework—use the printable log.
- Review urgency guidelines to confirm immediate action needed.
- Request inspection or call (833) 404-3632 today—every week of delay increases damage and cost.
Quick answers
- How many signs are too many to ignore?
- Two or more signs in combination require immediate inspection. Single isolated sign = monitor. Multiple signs + recurrence = call today.
- What does LTRS stacking mean?
- When multiple LTRS factors align: specific location + seasonal timing + fast recurrence + spreading pattern = very high probability of active infestation.
