Termite Solutions

Termites Cause Millions of Dollars in Damage to Structures each Year!

Since subterranean termites are silent invaders, they are often undetected until damage has occurred. Always searching for wood to feed upon, they work relentlessly. Termites multiply by the thousands and if left undetected, will cause major structural damage.

All types of structures have termite infestations.  No structure, not even brick or concrete slab construction, is immune to their insidious appetite. Termites can enter through a crack as small as 1/64 of an inch.
Preventative termite control is the only sure way to prevent termites
from entering your home.

The first visible sign of termites may be a “swarm”
Although termites swarm in the spring, they are active year round, foraging and feeding.

Are they ants or termites?

• To distinguish termites from ants, examine the insects’ wings, waist and antennae. While both insects have two pairs of wings, termite wings are relatively equal in size. Ant wings tend to be longer in front and shorter in back.

• Ants also have a narrow, pinched waist, with three separate body parts. Termites’ waists are thicker and less distinct.

• Ants’ antennae are elbowed, Termites’ are straight.

The best defense against termites is both a good inspection and an ongoing treatment program!
