The main food source of a termite is wood and that’s what makes your home look so inviting. Termites can do extensive damage to your home and if you suspect that you have an infestation, call Termite Control in Scottsdale, AZ.
Q.) What are the signs of a termite infestation in my home?
A.) Termites leave many clues behind, so it’s not hard to tell if termites are invading your space. Look for long, slender tubes of mud on your foundation. Termites build these tubes for shelter and protection. These tiny pests also use the tubes for safe traveling from the ground to your house. Another sign of a termite infestation is seeing a pile of termite wings or termite fecal matter. Use a hammer to knock on your wood beams and if they sound hollow, termites have been eating away on the inside of the beam.
Q.) What type of damage can termites do to my home?
A.) If a termite infestation is not treated, the floors, roof and ceiling of your home could potentially collapse. Even if the damage doesn’t get this bad, the cost to repair your home from the damage of termites can get expensive.
Q.) What are some preventative measures I can take to keep termites out of my home?
A.) Refrain from stacking firewood, or any other type of wood product, close to your house. This includes mulch or wood chips that you use for landscaping. Keep your downspouts directed downhill and prevent water from pooling up around your house. Don’t build wooden structures, such as porches or decks, directly on the ground.
