Termite Control

Infestation is usually limited to one area of a house but can be widespread. Termites can enter a house through exposed wood outside under the trim of the home, through objects such as wooden furniture, etc. However, majority of termite infestation happens from termites building tubes up through the house trim. Cracks in concrete walls and foundations can form hollow blocks along the path the termites take to infest the house. The termite lives in the soil around the house, penetrates the wood without touching the floor and builds mud pipes from the floor to the wood where they will not be attacked.

The summer weather creates an ideal environment for the breeding and research of termites. Many species are more active in summer, not to mention that we tend to spend more time outdoors, which makes it easier to search for termite sites and infestations. Due to the warmer temperatures, summer is also the best season to get swarms of termites.
