Know If You Have Termites!

Termites by their nature are hard to find.  Thriving in hard to reach inaccessable areas, they eat your home from the inside out.  Although there may be only a few indications of termite activity, take a closer look at these warning signs: 

1.  Watch for the “swarm” of winged termites during the day or evening and often after rainfall when temperatures rise in the Spring.

2.  Check in or around windows and doorframes for termite evidence (wings, etc.)

3.  Look for “mud tunnels” in or around the foundation, under windows and on walls. 

4.  Watch for pin-sized holes in the wall and woodwork where termites exited during the swarm.

5.  Tap baseboards and floors to see if they sound hollow — a possible sign of termite infestation.

6.  Examine window sills and walls for dead termites or termite wings.

7.  Blistering on sheetrock.

8.  Uncover a hidden threat to your home or business with our professional exterminator’s very thorough inspection!
