NOTICE TO OWNER
Under the California Mechanics Lien Law any structural pest
				  control company which contracts to do work for you, any contractor,
				  subcontractor, laborer, supplier or other person who helps to improve your
				  property, but is not paid for his or her work or supplies, has a right to
				  enforce a claim against your property. This means that after a court hearing,
				  your property could be sold by a court officer and the proceeds of the sale
				  used to satisfy the indebtedness. This can happen even if you have paid your
				  structural pest control company in full if the subcontractor, laborers or
				  suppliers remain unpaid.
To preserve their right to file a claim or lien against your
				  property, certain claimants such as subcontractors or material suppliers are
				  required to provide you with a document entitled "Preliminary Notice." Prime
				  contractors and laborers for wages do not have to provide this notice. A
				  Preliminary Notice is not a lien against your property. Its purpose is to
				  notify you of persons who may have a right to file a lien against your property
				  if they are not paid.
