  1. Termites: 3 Facts You Need to Know Now

  2. A Budding Infestation There are few things quite as terrifying as the idea of a termite infestation. For homeowners and other property owners alike, the word termite strikes fear like nothing else. Studies estimate termites manage to do more than a billion dollars in property damage every year & without professional termite control help, they are almost impossible to discover.

  3. Termites 101 Termites feed on a variety of things. While wood is their primary target, they can damage insulation, trees and shrubs, and even books. Finding the right termite treatment to eliminate them can be quite difficult too. It almost always takes professional help. Learning a bit more about them, though, can give you the ammunition you need to prevent infestation.

  4. Fact #1 – Most Termite Infestations Are Discovered IN the Spring March – May is termite prime time, because termites are on patrol for new colonies. During the spring, swarmers begin looking for new places to establish colonies, and that’s when most people find small winged termites inside their home. Warm temperatures and rainfall help push this migration.

  5. Fact #2 – There are Three Major Signs of Infestation Swarmers are easily the most common sign of a termite infestation, but they’re not the only one. If you find mud tubes over the walls of your foundation, that’s the other, more troubling sign. They construct these as they move between colonies, and it’s a sure sign that infestation might be a real problem. Actual wood damage is the third major sign of infestation.

  6. Fact #3 – The First Round of Treatment Isn’t Always the Last Contacting a certified termite professional to help with termite treatment is an absolute must, but one visit won’t always do the job. Termites can find their way through some of the smallest gaps in the solid that may have been left untreated, so it could take several months, and a number of visits, to get the control you need.
