Termites

In the southeast, termites migrate in the springtime to develop new colonies across the region. In some circumstances, these colonies could result in the infestation of homes and cause major structural damage if left untreated. Swarms of termites found outdoors, or even the presence of a few termites indoors, does not imply that an infestation might be going on. However, if you begin to notice more and more of them, you might require a proper inspection and potential treatment.

Some tactics to reduce your home’s risk of infestation include ensuring adequate ventilation in your crawlspaces/basements to prevent excess moisture buildup, eliminating any wood-to-ground contact that termites could burrow through, and avoiding the use of mulch right along any wood siding or frames.

Infestations should only be treated by a properly-licensed pest management professional.
