Discovering a termite infestation at your home can send anyone into a panic. These harmful pests can cause widespread, costly damage to any property, and they’re a common pest found throughout Florida, no matter the time of year. Worrying about a termite infestation isn’t going to solve the problem—you need to take immediate action to prevent any further damage. Here’s what to do if you think you have termites.
Schedule a Professional Termite Inspection
If you suspect—or already know—you have a termite problem at your home, the first thing you should do is schedule a professional termite inspection. In general, if you spot one termite, it’s highly likely that there are plenty more nearby since these insects love to live in groups. That’s why you should invest in a professional inspection, even if you’ve only seen one or two termites.
Other signs and symptoms of a termite infestation are damaged wood, mud tubes, and swarmers. If you’re noticing any of these issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to your local termite control experts immediately. After a comprehensive inspection, your termite control professional will determine whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or the remnants of an old one, as well as what you should do about it.
Rely on the Professionals to Treat Your Home for Termites
If your termite control expert determines there’s an active infestation at your property, you need to have your home professionally treated. Termites are difficult to deal with on your own—they’re often active in areas that are very hard to reach. DIY treatments are rarely effective, but professional ones are. Your local termite control experts have the tools to completely remove a termite infestation once and for all, so you can enjoy life in your home once again.
Protect Your Property from Future Infestation
Termites are common throughout Florida, especially during hurricane season. While you’ll breathe a sigh of relief once your termite infestation is under control, you should take some preventative measures to ensure a new infestation won’t occur. The best way to do this is by investing in soil treatment from your termite control professionals. This creates a barrier next to your home, keeping away termites for the long term.
