Warning Signs of Termite Infestation

Do I Have a Termite Infestation?

Annually in the United States, termites cause $5 billion in damages, and most homeowners insurance doesn’t cover termite damage. Fortunately there are pest control companies, like Lookout Pest Control, formerly Any Pest Inc., that offers Termite Protection Plans if you’re experiencing a termite infestation.

Termites feed on wood and are capable of doing a lot of damage in a short amount of time. It really is important to contact pest control specialists at the first sign of a possible termite infestation.

Warning Signs of an Infestation:

  • Wood damage, such as sagging or sounding hollow
  • Discarded wings
  • Mud tubes, which is where termites live
  • Cracked or distorted paint on wood surfaces
  • Termite Mounds
  • Termite droppings, called frass

 

Here at Lookout Pest Control we offer Sentricon Termite Baiting systems, as well as Liquid Barrier treatments to detect and eliminate termites in and around your home. Our termite baiting systems are installed in the soil around your home or office and will be monitored annually for termites. If termites were to be present, when they feed on the termite bait and bringing the Active Termite Bait back to their colony. As the termites continue to feed on the active bait, and more and more termites are affected, the termites will die and the termite colony is eventually eliminated.

If you ever notice any of the above termite infestation warning signs and believe you may have termites in your home, don’t wait until it’s too late. Contact us today for more information about our Termite protection plans, as well as our free evaluations.
