Termites are one of the most destructive pests in the U.S., costing homeowners billions of dollars in property damages every year. They have the ability to destroy your house; trees and plants on your property; and even in-ground swimming pools. Once you’ve had them, your house is forever marred. You may even have trouble selling your home at a future date if you’ve been infested with termites.
However, if you are able to detect them early, you can drastically minimize the amount of damage done. It pays to have regular termite inspections done, and if you’ve had termites before you should be treating your property consistently. You will be able to detect termites by looking for winged insects swarming around, termite droppings, bubbling paint, or wood that sounds hollow when you knock on it.
The first thing to do if you suspect you have termites is have a professional come out and look at your home’s structure to make sure they haven’t done any major damage. If your infestation is in the early stages, you’ll want to take steps to eliminate any moisture around your home such as leaking a/c units or pipes, remove mulch or plants that are covering the ground, and seal any openings on the exterior of your house. You also want to remove piles of lumber, old stumps or debris, and clear away anything like a shed that is leaning against your house.
Depending on the breed of termites and the severity of your infestation, treatment can vary from spraying liquid termiticides, painting on a liquid treatment, placing bait around the house or fumigating your property. Some individuals may try to manage their termite problem themselves, but considering the affect termites can have on the overall value of your home, you would be wise to trust your investment to professional a professional pest control service.
