Snap on Baseboards were developed in Hawaii where the subterranean termite can cause severe structural damage in a short time.  One of the problems with subterranean termites is that they enter your home unseen and remain unchecked until the home shows signs of structural damage.  At that time the homeowner is faced with a large repair bill.

 

Snap on Baseboards now gives Pest Control companies and homeowners the ability to monitor what is going on inside their walls.  The Snap on Baseboard System is a removable baseboard system.  You cut the drywall 2-3/4" up from the finish floor and remove the drywall.  Now you have a window into the wall cavity to inspect and monitor for pest invasions.
