Garage Door Repair Due To Insects

A little insect infestation gave me a lot of trouble. Termites somehow made their way into my Austin garage doors and started eating away at the wood. The termites made it all the way to the wood connected to the garage door track. Once they chewed through enough of that wood, the track became unattached slightly, and when I tried to open the garage door, the track was bent. I was glad that the track didn't drop down completely, because if it did, the door would have came down with it and hit my car. 

I called an exterminator to get rid of the termites, and then called a carpenter to repair the wood damage. As for the track, a garage door repair company was able to take care of that. They laid down a new track in place of the old one.

Now that spring is around the corner, the bugs will be coming back. The exterminator placed a barrier around the outside of my home to prevent any more termites from coming back, but I'm still a little worried. I've taken the extra precaution of spraying a solution around the garage to keep anything from trying to start a home in the wood.

Preparing For Garage Repairs At Home

I have seen it happen and I have had it occur so many times that I hate having to even look at the garage door, but what can I really do?

Is there anything else that I could do for this situation or can I just leave it as is?

This is something I ask myself every day and it is indeed quite problematic.

I hate having these things in my life but I have to use them, so I look around for repairs.

I saw a service and they told me how people are not always prepared for them and that makes it harder. What do they look for when they are hoping to find you prepared? They want a person that knows where the problem is and can guide them in terms of the symptoms of the door.

You don't need to know the name of the problem, but you should point it out to them.
