Top 10 Termite Prevention Tips
Many people can’t wait for spring after the cold, long winter that swept across most of the country. Soon, daylight will return, flowers will bloom, and children will spend more time outside. As the weather warms, some people might notice an unwelcome sign of spring – the appearance of termites, or Swarmers.
Spring is the prime termite season. Swarmers are active in spring to mate and form new colonies. These colonies often include residential properties that are vulnerable. Termites can literally destroy a home without the owners even realizing it. They can chew through wood, flooring, wallpaper, and even wallpaper without being detected. They can cause structural damage to a home in as little as a year, depending on which species they are. Termites are responsible for $5 billion in property damage each year.
