provide a valuable service by breaking down dead wood in forests into
soil. They were one of the earth's first recyclers. Even if you have
a new Home you are still in danger. When new sub-divisions are
leveled and trees are removed to make room for development,
termites food sources are destroyed or removed. Virtually all homes
have a wood frame, so no matter how the wood is separated from
the soil, termites can work their way to it from the ground
underneath. Similarly, a concrete slab does not eliminate wood-to-
ground contact. Termites can construct tunnels through cracks in
concrete. Most termites nest in the ground beneath the surface.
When termite colonies lose their food supply to developers, they seek
out new food sources - usually wood from newly built homes on the
site. A lot of Homeowners are under the false impression that a
brick house on a concrete slab is safe from termites. It is often
difficult to determine the difference between termites and ants.
Termites have two pair of wings (front and back) and are of almost
equal length. Ants also have two pair of wings but the fore wings are
much larger than the hind wings. Also, termites have relatively
straight antennae while ants have elbowed antennae. Ants generally do
not swarm at the same time as termites, but it can happen. Termites
have a thick waist and ants have a narrow waist Termites have
straight antennae and ants have elbowed antennae Termites have four
wings that are all equal in length Ants have four wings, however, two
are larger and two are smaller Termite Swarming Large swarms of
winged insects inside and/or around the home is the most obvious sign
of termite activity. Swarming occurs when reproductive male and
female termites exit the colony and attempt to begin building a new
colony. Since it takes most termite colonies at least three years to
produce termite swarms, this is a likely sign of an ongoing problem.
When do termites swarm? The exact dates termites swarm vary each
year according to the species type and weather conditions. Swarming
season begins from mid March to Mid April Daytime, usually mid-day
Sunny above 85 degrees Often a high humid day The most dangerous
aspect of a Termite Infestation. Home owner denial many good
hearted people believe that they have Termites when they see the
Spring or Fall Termite swarm. Swarming Termites tell us that the
colony is a mature colony, and they will still be eating away at your
Home. Outrageous cost with a termite job, what is a fair price?
Don’t be fooled by the & Big Companies & trying to maintain a large
corporate staff. But don’t let the Low price companies fool you
either. The price in the middle shows that
A. Greed is not in play
B. The company will be around next year
C. The middle company is more than likely not going to take short
cuts.
Waiting till next year to treat your Termite infestation will only led
to more damage to your home. Most Termite Damage comes from the
Homeowner waiting to react to the signs. And postponing the
treatment.
