Everything You Need to Know About Termites

Do you believe your home is infested with termites? If so, we’ll provide a handy checklist below to help you better make this determination. For now, here are a few facts about these brutal bugs:

They Cause Damage – These woodworms are no joke. Unfortunately, they can cause serious and severe damage to your home if left unchecked. These bugs are difficult to deal with because they eat wood. They possess special enzymes, bacteria and protozoa within their gut that makes it possible to fully digest cellulose, a fibrous material that can be found in plants and wood. It would take one termite 3144 years to completely eat its way through a 1000 square foot home. That’s the good news. The bad news is…
Termites Do Not Live Alone – in fact, these “silent destroyers” are known for living in groups. So, if your home ends up becoming infested by a termite colony, you could end up with nearly 15,000,000 of these wood chomping critters devouring your gorgeous home. Since termites live roughly two years, this gives colonies ample time to cause serious destruction to property.
Where Do Termites Focus Their Wrath? – It should be obvious, but in case it isn’t, these bugs are going to focus their destruction on areas of the home made of wood. But in particular, these ravenous insects tend to focus their wrath on wooden crawlspaces, wooden beams, slab foundations, or other wood structures.

Signs You Have Termites Checklist

Clearly, these insects are a potential problem that needs to be dealt with as soon as you see possible signs. And to help you make this determination, here’s a handy checklist to make it easier to determine if you have a real problem or not:

Discarded Wings at the Entrances to Your Home – if you suddenly being seeing wings all of the same size discarded near the entry points of your home, this could be the first sign of a termite infestation. Do the wings look like small fish scales? The termites that swarm have wings, which they discard, so you’ll often notice them accumulating near doors and windowsills. Also, they tend to get caught in cobwebs, so look for them there too.
Mud Tubes – if you are dealing with a subterranean termite infestation, it’s possible to discover mud tubes near the foundation of your home.
Chipped and Cracked Paint – “white ants” that eat drywood are small and enter homes though windows, vents, near roof siding, and close to the foundation of a home. Cracked paint in these areas is often a sign of an infestation. Or it could be a sign of water damage. So contact a professional extermination control company in Houston to make the determination.
Wood Damage – lastly and unsurprising to anyone, damage to the wood in your home is a sure sign of an invasion. Since these insects eat wood by starting on the inside, you can knock on the wood and if it’s hollow you are in trouble and need real assistance.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that an infestation of a serious magnitude will cause severe and expensive damage to your property.
