When the warmth of spring hits and breeding gets into full motion, termites can become a difficult issue to navigate for both homeowners and business owners. It is imperative to have an annual and complete pest control inspection completed.
These tiny bugs are known as “silent destroyers” and can eat through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper faster than you can blink your eye. Using Proactive Pest Control can help. Often confused with some flying ant species, these nasty critters choose cracks and crevices as small as a human hair to enter the building. Like most pests, they become active when the temperatures are warm. Spring has sprung and it is most definitely breeding season for all pests alike. Termites tend to do the most damage in the morning hours. When everything seems quiet and people are away, these pests begin their feast on your structures. Devastating and costly damage can occur within as little as two years.
Our professionals know how to correctly identify and terminate this expensive problem using Proactive Pest Control. Be proactive and have an inspection completed. It is advised that you have this inspection fulfilled every year around the same time to ensure the safety and soundness of your structure. Trees and out-structures on your property can also cause an infestation of your primary unit. Our professionals know what to look for, but if you are curious, look for these signs:
- Mud tubes on the exterior of the building
- Soft wood inside that sounds hollow when tapped
- Darkening or blistering of wood
- Cracked or bubbling paint and/or wallpaper
- Termite nests near the building
- Small piles resembling sawdust near a termite nest
- Discarded wings near doors or on windowsills
