How to Determine if You Have Termites

The tricky thing about termites is that most people do not realize that they have termites until extensive damage has already been done. That is because termites spend time inside of your walls or under your floors eating the wood undetected. There are things you can watch for to see if you have termites around your property.

• Discarded Wings
  Termites will swarm in the spring as they look for a new place to establish a colony. Once they reach it, they will remove their wings because they no longer need them. If you see discarded wings around your property, it is a sign of a termite colony.
• Mud Tubes
  These thin pencil sized tubes will be along the foundation of your wall. Termites will build these to give them safe passage into the wood of your house. If you break them open, you should see termites.
• Wood Damage
  The wood damage will be below the surface. The damage will be in long, narrow grooves.

When it comes to termites, you need to be proactive. You should have an annual termite inspection, and if you suspect you have termites you should call immediately. Our technician can inspect your home and determine if you have a termite problem. If you do have termites, he will give you a written estimate as well as a list of repairs that need to be completed. You can take advantage of the turnkey termite solution that include extermination, clean up, repairs and continued monitoring, so that you never need to worry about termites again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a termite inspection take?

Termite inspections can take between thirty minutes to an hour. The amount of time depends on the size of your home. We ask that you be home during an inspection so that the technician can access all the areas of the home that he needs to including the attic and crawlspace.

How quickly do termites eat through a home?

A termite colony can eat about a pound of wood a day. It takes about two years for one colony to eat through an entire home, but you may have more than one colony in your home at a time. It is important to schedule annual inspections so you can catch and stop termite damage as quickly as possible.

Will the termite treatment hurt my family?

Termidor SC is one of the safest treatment options. Our technicians are trained to apply it safely and it is applied to the exterior of the home. It will not hurt your family, and you and your children can be home when the treatment is applied to your home.

How do the monitoring stations work?

The monitoring stations are made up of material that naturally attracts the termites after they have made their way onto your property. Our technicians will check them quarterly and if activity is found termite treatments can begin. The bait stations are chemical free and will not impact other animals or insects.

How do termites affect my property value?

Termites can cause your property value to drop, especially because of the structural damage that they can cause. However once you treat for termites and repair the damages they have caused, your home should return to its previous value.
