Termites Control Questions
Clear answers to help customers understand termite activity, damage signs, inspection process and treatment options.
Termites are wood-destroying insects. Their presence dates back to the dinosaurs. While they play an important role in nature, they can cause serious property damage when they infest homes, offices or commercial structures.
Termites range in size from one-eighth of an inch to one inch long. Their colour can vary from white to brown or black depending on type and age. Termites are sometimes confused with flying ants because both may have wings and antennae.
Termites often stay hidden while damaging structures. Possible signs include termite swarming, earthen mud tubes on foundation walls, support piers and floor joists, plus sawdust-like remnants near tiny holes in wood.
Yes. Termites are sometimes called white ants, although “termites” is the accurate term. White ant treatment and termite treatment usually refer to the same pest control service.
Once a termite colony is established, termites can remain a year-round problem. However, colony expansion activity usually increases during warm weather.
A termite inspection involves a thorough top-to-bottom examination of your property for signs of termite activity by Pestoman trained technicians. If evidence is found, the technician outlines suitable treatment options.
Pre-treatment means treating the soil under a structure before cement floors are poured. This can be beneficial because it avoids drilling through concrete later. The treatment method, pesticide type and application approach can be similar, except drilling may be needed for post-construction treatment.
This depends on soil type, chemical used, treatment quality, construction type and property design. The safest approach is to have your home inspected annually and follow the guidance of a responsible pest control professional.
A pest control professional inspects the infestation and treats the problem using suitable termite control methods so that the property can be protected and used comfortably.
Pestoman offers effective termite infestation solutions with treatment options based on the severity of the problem. A comprehensive inspection is conducted by termite technicians, and the team uses professional training, expertise and technology to help eliminate termite infestations.
