Termites

Protect your Home from Silent Destroyers

Termites are one of the most destructive pests a homeowner can encounter. They are sometimes referred to as silent destroyers because they may go undetected for months or even years. The Mid-Atlantic subterranean termites is the most common type. They begin to swarm in spring, but typically from April to June. But their activity never fully stops, they feed 24/7 all year long!

Since termites are quiet workers, most homeowners only notice the signs only when the damage is severe. That is why prevention and inspection treatment must be initiated at an early stage, starting from March.

Signs You May Have Termites

While termites can be hard to spot, these indicators can help:

Mud tubes along foundations or crawlspaces

Hollow sounding wood when tapped

Tiny holes in drywall or baseboards

Discarded wings found near windows or doors

Bucking floors or tight-fitting doors

Even if you are not sure, it is always good to invite a professional inspection. The sooner they can detect a termite infestation in your home, the easier they can fix the problem.

When to Start Treatment

Although swarms occur in the spring, preventative treatment should occur any time throughout the year with the exception of freezing temps in the winter. We recommend an inspection first to determine if there are no termites present. If no termites are found, then we will recommend prevention treatment since it’s only a matter of time they will enter an unprotected home.
