How to Determine if You Have Termites

One of the trickiest things about termites is that most people do not realize that termites are in their home until significant damage has been done. There are a few signs that you can watch for that can indicate that you have termites.

• Discarded Wings
  If you see piles of discarded wings around your property, it is likely a new termite colony has just been started. Termites remove the wings after they swarm to a new location.
• Mud Tubes
  If you see mud tubes along your foundation, you likely have termites. These pencil sized tubes are built to protect them as they crawl up into your home.
• Wood Damage
  If you see damage in long grooves under the surface of the wood, you may have termites.

It is important to be proactive when it comes to termites. Scheduling a termite inspection each year can help you catch the damage before it comes too serious. Termites establish new colonies in the spring, so this is a good time for an inspection. If you d0 not have termites, our technician will let you know. If termites are found, you will receive a written estimate and treatment plan as well as list of damages that need to be prepared. We offer a turnkey solution that will cover treatment and prevention, cleanup and repairs as well as continued monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have ants or termites?

Termites have wider waists, bent antennae, and two sets of wings that are the same size. Carpenter ants have clearly defined waists, and their wings are different sizes. Termites eat the wood, while ants will leave piles of sawdust in your home.

How do termite damage my property?

Termite will eat the through the wood in your home, which can weaken the floor joists or supporting structures in your home. They can also cause issues because some termites will eat through the cases around the electrical writing.

Will my family be safe during treatment?

We use Termidor SC which is one of the safest termite treatments available on the market. We also train our technicians to apply the treatment correctly. Your family can safely be home during and after treatment.

How quickly do termites damage my home?

Termites can eat through a home in just two years. They will eat through a pound of wood a day, and they can do quite a bit of damage depending on where they are eating. The cost of damage can add up very quickly.

Can I prevent termites?

If you clear your property of old, dead wood, and make sure to use only treated wood in building projects, you can help prevent termites. Avoid using mulch in the beds touching your home. Be sure to keep your trees and bushes trimmed back so they do not touch your property.
