Termite Colonies: Household Visitors You Could Do Without

February 4, 2010 by

The insect world has various ways of suprising us. For such a small animal, the termite yearly causes billions of dollars’ worth of ruin to property. This animal chiefly dines on dead wood, and as such, edifices and houses with wooden portions are vulnerable to termite infection. The termite also feeds on paper (putting books and important documents at risk), soft elements of a building (like the lining and filter system of swimming pools), and insulation components installed in buildings and homes. Further, termites could also gather on living bushes and thriving vegetation, causing destruction to them.

Termites are a basic issue when procuring or selling a family home; simply put, an infected house is an unwise investment. Banks tend to draw a lower home market value if, during assessment, they discover that your home is invaded by these damaging pests.

The moment there are termites creeping indoors, it means that there is an infestation that requires the services of expert exterminators. Normally, termites are mistaken for ants. On closer inspection, however, ants and termites are different. The ant has two pairs of wings and a smaller waist, with bent antennae. The termite, meanwhile, is dumpier around the middle and have a single pair of wings, in addition to straight antennae.

Other pieces of evidence of this insect’s presence in the home are tubelike mud pillars, about the size of a pencil, which run over walls, structural foundations, beams, and/or floor joists.

If the infestation is within the dwelling, do-it-yourself products sold in stores are seldom effective. This is one extermination that involves the assistance of pros. Certified pest management companies have technicians specially trained to detect colonies in several parts of the dwelling; the process usually requires a number of specialized equipment. Take the cost of hiring professional exterminators as an investment in the potential value of your home. It is a guarantee that professional exterminators from a company with a sterling reputation can put your pest infestation problems to rest.
