Termite Control for Year Round Protection

One of the best ways you can protect your home from thousands of dollars of devastation each year is to have regular inspections performed throughout your home. If you see winged bugs or just wings near your window seals and floor boards, you likely have an infestation that you must flush your home of as soon as possible.

Termite control begins with noticing any infiltration. These bugs can be found entering through and on porches or support posts, the parts of your home where wood building materials make contact with soil. They also occupy tree stumps or trees that make contact with or are very close to your home. These provide great entry points for them to begin consuming your basement, framing, attic, doors, floors, and any fibrous materials they can reach. First, they will burrow an earthen (tunnel of mud) from their colony outdoors and into your home. Second, they will feed on any structures they can get to, which are, to be honest; often hidden from the naked eye of the homeowner until some or the majority of the damage has already been done. However, you can save yourself money and save yourself from worry with professional intervention. A professional termite control specialist will seek out their feeding areas in crawl spaces, closets, beneath flooring, basement corners, attic crevices, and garage walls as well as earthen(s) to cut them off at the colony source.

A professional set of eyes, tools and timing is critical to effective termite control in your home. A professional pest management specialist will be able to immediately determine that the bugs' greatest surfacing period to feed is the spring. Therefore, if you've noticed hollow boards, walls, and doors where there once were strong, sturdy materials, you need to call a professional company quickly. And after that point, their team will know what signs to look for in order to apply specific pesticides to have the best results. Depending upon the extent of the infestation, certain areas of your home may have to be opened up or removed before and during pesticide application.

After the termite control has been thoroughly conducted, you and your family can move forward comfortably and confidently. Depending upon the extent of the damage to your framing, foundation, and the stability of your homes walls, you may consider construction after, in order to return your quality of living before moving forward.
