There’s little doubt that termites can be one of the most frustrating insects to deal with – while they don’t pose a health hazard to humans, they certainly pose a hazard to your home. Untreated, termites can slowly eat away at the wood structures in your home. They feed of the protein found in wood.
Unfortunately, Southern California offers the perfect climate for termites – hot and humid. The best way to figure out if you have termites is to have your home inspected by a professional. But not all treatments for termites get rid of these nasty critters.
For instance, the most common treatment is to spray a chemical barrier around your home. However, these little guys can be creative, especially as they tunnel around your home’s foundation looking for entry points. If you are only spraying around your home, you may be missing an opportunity to really get rid of the termites.
An inspector will study all the areas around your home, not only the exterior but interior wood work. If you do have termites infecting your wood, you need to have that wood treated or replaced to get rid of the termites. Even after treatments, you should have at least an annual inspection to make sure that the termites are truly at bay.
