Termites and You

PictureTermite Damage in a Home.
​Termites are resilient woodeaters! They travel through soil, woodpiles, dead trees, stumps, roots near your home and even through stored wood alongside your property, using them as a bridge to infest your property and cause damage to both your home and your wallet.

This type of Termite feasting on the wood in your home cost US homeowners a whopping $5 Billion dollars each year and an average of $3000, to repair their damage.
Most times, Termites are hard at work within the wood, in beams and other wooden frameworks and usually found, when it's too late. The termite queen can live for 25 years discreetly and lays an egg, every 15 seconds, which ultimately, makes your home an ideal Termite dwelling and a trap for you.
Such predicaments can be avoided, if you know what to look for and possibly take matters into your own hands.Termites are often mistaken for Ants, therefore, Identification must be made before any treatment is administered. 

Prevention Tips:
*Keep mulch several inches below wooden parts of the home.
*Remove woodpiles, dead trees, stumps, and roots near the home.
*Store firewood several feet away from buildings and off the ground.
*Remove wood and paper stored under your home, in the basement or crawlspace.
*Reduce moisture near the foundation of buildings.
*Divert rain water away from the home. 
*Repair any leaking pipes, faucets, or air conditioners.
*Keep crawl spaces dry and well ventilated.
*Repair foundation cracks, as quickly as possible.

If you're unsure of what to look for and/ or have any of the scenarios listed above around your property and in need of professional help, contact Citi Termite Control for a consultation.

I noticed that my wood siding has some weird marks in it, and I think it might be termites. It makes sense that I would want to get an exterminator to help me out with this! They would be able to ensure that the termites don't cause any more problems.

I am grateful that this post underlined that it is important for us to have leaky faucets repaired to prevent pests. My wife mentioned that she noticed an increase in cockroach infestation as of late. I think I will have all our leaks repaired before calling a pest control to have my pest issue remedied.

It makes sense how termites and ants can be easily mistaken for one another. But I would have no idea how to tell them apart. So having a professional come look at them would really help me out.

My sister would like to get rid of the termites in her house since they're starting to destroy her furniture. Anyhow, I also agree with you that wood and paper must be removed since these are some of the places where they can intestate. Thank you for clarifying here as well the importance of repairing the leaking pipes.

I had no idea that a termite queen can live for 25 years. And here I am thinking that my termite problem will go away naturally. I guess I should hire an exterminator to come out and help get rid of them.

It is crazy that it cost on average $3,000 to repair the damage done by termites. My wife and I just moved into a new area and we were told that termites are a common issue there, but we don't have the money to deal with repair from the damage. We will definitely be using your prevention tips so that we don't have to deal with the damage that termites cause.
