Spring is the time to get the home ready for a season full of color and life. Homeowners everywhere are planting flowers cleaning the yard and enjoying the outdoors after what seemed like a long hibernation.
A simple step that could potentially save you large amounts of money is to be vigilant when you dig, look for insects and have them identified by one of our professionals, as that little tiny worm you found may very well be a worker termite ready to begin eating away at your home causing thousands of dollars of structural damage with very little hints of its presence.
April showers bring May flowers and they also bring ravenous termites.
Finally, it seems as though winter is all but over, at last. Now the work starts, getting your home ready for spring requires more than setting up the patio furniture. that are a few simple steps to take that will help in making your home less attractive to pest invaders. Below are a few.
- Move fire wood away from the foundation walls and elevate form ground.
- repair or replace leaky hose bibs as the ever present moisture will only add to insect infestations.
- broken gutters and downspouts to be replaced or repaired.
- Trim vegetation away from foundation.
- identify poor drainage and make changes so that moisture moves away from foundation.
Following these few simple steps will yield results. For a detailed solution to pest infestations it is best to use a professional pest service in addition to the above.
Did you know…. that TERMITES inflict more than $ 5 BILLION worth of damage to more than 600,000 U.S. homes annually?This is more than the damaged caused by all natural disasters combined!!!
As many as 2 million U.S. hOmes require a termite treatment each year and homeowners’ insurance does not include termite damage in the coverage.
Since they are typically not visible and can’t be heard, only the trained eye of a Pest Management Professional can detect signs of activity.
For the effective control of termites specialised equipment and training is a must so treatment by the homeowner is virtually impossible.
