Termite Control Raleigh

Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina and is home to over 1,750,865 people. Although Raleigh is a rapidly growing metropolitan area, it is surrounded by several small towns and bedroom communities, consisting of Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Morrisville, Apex, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Garner, Clayton, Holly Springs, and Fuquay Varina. Although Raleigh has many historic neighborhoods, there are also many areas around the Beltline (the primary highway that encircles Raleigh) where new communities have sprung up to accommodate those that want to have quick access to the city, yet enjoy that same type of access to the countryside of Wake County.

Raleigh is also know as “The City of Oaks” due to the multitude of oak trees that are common throughout the area, and since Raleigh is blanketed in oaks as well as various other types of trees, it’s also very popular for termites that not only feed on the wood of the trees, but also choose the many homes in Raleigh as a premium location for feeding and reproducing. Raleigh residents who are concerned whether or not they have termites can easily check using the methods below, but there is no substitute for having the termite control experts at EcoTek to come do a free termite inspection that also includes a free estimate should termites be found. The EcoTek turnkey termite control plan includes a full termite extermination treatment that eliminates all the termites in your home or business, followed by cleanup of insect and wood debris, and comprehensive termite damage repairs that will restore your property back to the way it was before the termite infestation.

How to Determine if You Have Termites

Most homeowners just suppose they don’t really have a termite problem until they discover a colony of termites under their home, within a wall, or they see termite dirt tubes similar to the picture below. By the time it’s determined there are termites in the house it’s completely too late, and the termite infestation has already done thousands of dollars in structural damage to the house or business.

• Discarded Wings
  When termites leave their nests to start a new colony they fly only a short distance, and then discard their wings close to an access point because they won’t use them again.
• Mud Tubes
  Pencil sized tubes next to building access points. Break them in the middle to see if termites come out.
• Wood Damage
  Usually below and behind surfaces . Damage shows up in long grooves.

Waiting until you believe that you’ve got termites is not recommended, especially when you consider you can get a free of charge termite inspection done right away that offers you a free estimation of costs, and if it’s determined you don’t have termites, then you can be at ease that your house is safe. The free estimate we provide will not only cover the expense of exterminating the termites and the damage cleanup, but it will also outline any costs you need to know for damage repairs. Even though the damage reconstruction is optional through us, you’ll find we can perform the task for much less than if you retain an independent company to handle them. Not only do we offer a all-in-one termite extermination solution that includes the treatment, the cleaning, and the repair to the damages done, but most of all we also provide a continuing service that guarantees you won’t ever again have to worry about termites.

How long should I plan for a termite inspection?

Termite inspections can take from half an hour to an hour. The inspection will depend on the size of your home and how easy it is to access certain areas like your attic and crawlspace. If you have a larger home, you will need to plan for a longer visit.

Do I have to be at home during an inspection?

We do ask that you be home for a termite inspection because the technician will need to access to a variety of different areas of your home like your crawlspace and your attic. You need to be home to make sure that they have access to all the areas that termites may be active.
