If your home is infested with termites, these pests can cause considerable damage to your home over time. If you suspect that you have termites in your home, contact Termite Control in Phoenix, AZ as quickly as possible. Below are frequently asked questions about termite infestations.
Q.) I see all types of bugs around the outside of my house, how do I know if they are termites?
A.) One of the easiest ways to determine if you have termites is to look for termite tubes. These are cylindrical shaped tubes that are made out of mud and they will most likely be stuck to the bottom portion of your house or on the foundation. Termites construct these tubes out of mud and they use them to safely tunnel back and forth from their nest to their food source. If you see swarming bugs inside your house in the spring, this is another sign of termites.
Q.) What types of damage can termites do to my house?
A.) Termites eat constantly and wood is their favorite food. They’re often found eating away the inside of the wood beams in your home. Termites can also be found on the inside of your house in the walls and they’ll even eat through wooden furniture. This damage can be expensive to repair and unless the termites are eradicated, the colony will continue to grow and you’ll have even more termites eating your home.
Q.) After I have my home sprayed for termites by Termite Control in Phoenix, AZ, is there anything else I can do to keep them away?
A.) Keep stacked lumber and firewood away from the outside of your home. Don’t place mulch close to your house. Get rid of any old dead stumps or trees that are in your yard. These and other types of wood products will draw termites close to your house and that is where you don’t want them.
