Termite Infestation Phoenix
When it comes to anything in your home that is wood-based, termites are a major threat. An infestation can lead to serious damage. Drywood termites are the greatest threat as they invade wooden furniture, your hardwood floors, and any wood framing in your home. If you are dealing with subterranean termites, they will build colonies in the soil surrounding your home. If you’ve ever dealt with termites before, you can take the following tips to prevent future infestations.
Be On Guard
Be on alert for any signs of termites. If you see tunnels that look like worms running along your foundation or your walls, termites are the likely culprit. If you find any other signs of termites, from droppings to shed wings or dead termites that are similar to winged ants minus their ants, you’ll want to act right away before a small problem turns into a major infestation. Contact our Phoenix termite control team to take control in order to win the war against these destructive insects.
Treat the Area Around Your Home Regularly with a Treatment to Kill Termites
Whether you have had termites before or you are being proactive in an effort to keep them away, you can spray a termite treatment around the exterior of your home. The first step is to grab a shovel and start digging. You will need a trench around your home. Once your trench is completed, you will spray it with termite treatment to help you to avoid an infestation before it even starts. However, be sure you read all of the safety instructions on your termite treatment. You want to make sure that you are not putting your pets or the environment at risk.
Set Out Bait for Termites
Another way to avoid a problem with termites is to bait any termites in the area and poison them. The bait can be placed below ground or above ground. The poison will gradually spread throughout a colony of termites, stopping it in its tracks.
When All Else Fails, Bring in the Professionals
While you can attempt to avoid termite infestations, it may not always work. If you find yourself in trouble, turn to our professional termite control team to stay on top of it. Our termite technicians have the equipment, products, and knowledge to put your termite troubles behind you.
