If you’re a homeowner and you discover that you have a termite infestation, this can be devastating news. Although termites can do extensive damage to a home, if you call Termite Control in Mesa as soon as you notice the signs, the exterminator can get rid of them before they do any real damage. Below you’ll discover important information about termites and how an exterminator can get rid of them for you.
Signs
The sight of mud tubes on the side of your house is the most visible sign of termites. You may also notice them swarming inside your house, especially as the weather starts warming up. When termites are inside of your house, it’s not uncommon to see termite droppings or tiny slivers of shredded wood around the base of your walls and possibly your wood furniture.
Extermination
When you call a pest control company, the exterminator will first do a termite inspection of your home. If termites are present, the technician will measure the linear feet of your home to determine how much product should be used. The technician will place the product underground around the perimeter of your house. If there is an area of your home that has concrete up next to the wall, the technician will drill a small hole in the concrete to apply the product. If termites are inside your home, holes will be drilled in the concrete floor and possibly your walls to inject the termite control product. Any holes that are drilled during Termite Control in Mesa will be patched up afterwards so they won’t be visible.
Prevention
After the extermination, it’s important that you do some preventative measures so that you won’t get termites in your home again. This includes removing old wood or stumps from around the perimeter of your home and not storing firewood right up next to your house. It’s also important that you don’t place mulch up close to the foundation of your home.
