Home owners live in fear of the dreaded termite. Not only do they cause damage to your home’s structural integrity, but they can affect the resale value of your home. But termites don’t have to be a death knoll for a house. It is easy to spot them even in their early stages of colonizing, and then you can remediate them quickly and effectively.
What should you look for when it comes to termites on your property? Obviously if you see a termite you need to call out a pest control service immediately. But not all termites are visible. That’s why you should regularly walk around and inspect your property. Grab a flashlight and look through your basement, or in areas of your property where there are wood piles and other debris. If you see “tubes” in the dirt, you’ll know that termites are building pathways to carry food to and from their nests.
You may also find wood shavings or droppings around areas of your home inside or outside. Look for any worn or disintegrating wood that is on the exterior of your home, and inside tap along your walls, floors and ceiling to listen for hollow wood that may be eaten from the inside out.
The moment you suspect termites on your property, call a professional pest control service. These little critters work fast and they can cause serious (and costly) damage to your home. A professional pest control service can not only remove existing termites, they can advise you on the best way to prevent a re-infestation.
Your home is not only a valuable investment but it is a source of pride. Take the best possible care of it by being alert to possible termite infestations. Remember, the earlier you can detect termites, the easier it will be to get rid of them for good.
