Frequently Asked Questions
-
Termites typically enter homes by accessing wood in direct contact with soil or through cracks in the foundation. They are drawn to damp, decaying wood. Additionally, they may enter through utility conduits, gaps around plumbing, and even tiny cracks and crevices in the walls of your home.
-
Termite eggs are tiny oval-shaped pellets, resembling white or light brown jelly beans. These eggs have a shiny, translucent shell, making them difficult to locate unless they are clustered together. Typically, located deep within the nest and protected by the queen.
-
Termites are incredibly resilient insects, with an average lifespan of 1 to 2 years before they naturally pass away. Despite this, their population grows as the queen continuously lays new eggs within the colony. It's crucial to understand that termites will relocate once their food and moisture sources are removed. Permanently eliminating termites is impossible without eradicating their habitat.

Here are a few things you can do to prevent termites:
Routine Inspections: Schedule regular termite inspections with a professional termite company to identify early signs of an infestation.
Control Moisture: Ensure adequate ventilation in attics, basements, and crawl spaces to discourage pests from making themselves at home.
Monitor irrigation systems: Sprinklers should be correctly adjusted to spray away from the foundation and walls.
Repair cracks: Inspect the base and outer walls for any cracks that termites could use as entry points and seal them.
Fix water leaks: Termites thrive in these ideal environments: Water-damaged walls, roof leaks, and moisture in attics, bathrooms, and sink areas.
Clean gutters: Prevent clogs by clearing gutters to ensure a free flow to avoid any water damage.
Trim shrubs & plants: Trim plants and shrubs near walls to stop termites from hiding and for easier inspections. Plants hold moisture termites need to live.
Implementing these preventative measures can significantly decrease the risk of termites infesting your property.
