Why treat for Termites?
More than 600,000 homes in the US have suffered Termite damage totaling over $1.5 Billion annually. Termite damage is more common than storm, fire or earthquake damage; yet its rarely covered by homeowners insurance. How do I know if I have Termites? Because Termites live in colonies in the soil, you typically cant see or hear them. Colonies can consist of hundreds of thousands of Termites that can tunnel hundreds of feet to reach feeding sites. Homeowners might see several possible signs of a termite infestation which include:
- Mud tubes can run across bare concrete or masonry between the soil and any wooden part of your building.
- Thin small papery wings, all the same shape and size, 3/8 to 1/2 inch long on your window sill, counter top or floor – especially if it is late spring and there has been a recent rain.
- Thin ‘bubbled’ or distorted areas of paint on wooden surfaces.
- Any wooden building parts beginning to “sag” unexpectedly – especially if they are important support structures.
