Get Rid of Termites Effectively – Hire a Pro

Termites are silent house invaders, able to cause tremendous damage to people’s properties. They can also be the reason for allergies and other serious diseases. Termites are small, social, hardworking insects that create long tunnels through the wooden house construction and other parts of a building. Chewing their way through the wood, they can cause severe damage and headaches to homeowners worldwide.

Termites cause more damage than fires, earthquakes and tornadoes

According to the latest research, termites have caused more damage to US homes than fires, earthquakes and tornadoes put together. Each year, they cost US homeowners more than five billion dollars in damages. The costs for individual properties differ – obviously they differ based on the level of termite infestation. Preventing a termite infestation is a priority for numerous households around the US.  

Termite infestation stops people from buying their dream home  

A termite infestation is one of the top reasons people decide to pass on a great opportunity to purchase the house of their dreams. Aside from checking the house location, interior and exterior, wise buyers always look for termite infestation signs prior to buying a house. If they notice any mud tunnels in the nearby area or other common signs of an infestation, wise buyers will decide against buying the property.    

Common termite infestation signs

Even though termites are not always easy to detect, there are a few sure signs of a termite infestation.

• Mud tunnels

Termites create tube-like tunnels made of mud to provide moisture while they travel back and forth, searching for food. These mud tunnels are usually seen on the outside structure of the house (walls, concrete slabs and brickwork). The tunnels are often thin as a pen, but they can get thicker if the infestation is not prevented on time.   

• Damaged wood

If you notice damaged wood or wooden objects sounding weird when being knocked on, call termite control professionals right away. Since wooden cabins, floors, doors and windows are the major food source for termites, any holes and cracks are clearcut termite infestation indicators.

• Frass

This is another sure sign of termite presence in your house. Frass refers to termite fecal pellets that can be usually spotted on floors, near windows or practically anywhere in people’s homes.

• Cracked paint on wooden surface

Cracked paint near window frames, vents and roof siding is a sign that termites may have found their shelter in your cozy home. To identify a termite infestation, you should also consider checking for cracks on your house exterior and foundation.
