Don't delay if you think you might need to call a termite exterminator! Your home is made of cellulose-based plant materials; therefore it’s a flocking area for termites. If you see one, there’s more and it’s vital to end the problem before it gets extremely severe. Termites will start in your yard but eventually they can flock to your furniture, books and other personal belongings and worst of all, your home’s foundation.
Termites are small ant-like insects that feed on wood. Because they prefer dark and damp wood, we highly recommend having your home properly treated. Water leaks, if left un-repaired, create an ideal breeding ground for termites. If you notice a hollow sound from your property's wooden foundation or a collection of saw dust-like material, you likely have a termite infestation and will need to call a professional termite exterminator.
Because of the potential damage that termites can cause to the structure of your home or business, it's best to catch any issues early. However, there may not be any recognizable warning signs until it's too late. Preventative termite inspections are the best method of protecting your property. If you think you may have a termite problem on your hands, don’t hesitate to call American Pest Control. An experienced termite exterminator will arrive at your property to provide a free estimate!
There are several options to prevent termite infestations or get rid of them. Each option depends on the location of the infestation, the amount of termites, and if we are trying to get rid of or prevent termites from entering our home or business. The possible treatment options include:
Termiticide is a class of insecticides that are specifically made to eliminate termites. They not only eliminate current infestations but guard against any future termite infestations.
Dry foam fills cracks on the interior and exterior of your home. It has a low-moisture content so that it does not attract termites. This is a preventative measure for property owners.
Bait is applied to areas most at risk of attracting termites such as moist soil, sprinkler heads, and downspouts. It works by disrupting the molting process, slowing their growth. Every so often, our termite exterminator will come out and see how the baits are working and recommend other solutions if needed.
