 Termite 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. 2/26/2021 10:56:55 am
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. 4/7/2021 12:47:59 pm
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. 6/3/2021 09:12:35 pm
his is good. Pest control is essential nowadays. Thank you for sharing this post, and looking forward to the latest one. 6/9/2021 06:22:00 pm
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. 6/16/2021 02:22:39 am
What an exquisite article! Your post is very helpful right now. Thank you for sharing this informative one. 7/27/2021 07:00:35 am
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. 8/10/2021 11:09:38 am
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. 3/1/2022 10:15:49 pm
It made sense when you explained that termites are usually misunderstood for ants, so they must be identified first. I am also not sure if what I saw in our house are termites. I better ask a termite control professional to come to my house and inspect if there is a termite. 8/25/2022 06:12:00 pm
It's great that you elaborated that because of the moist, termites could build a colony on your home. The other night, my uncle informed me that they have termites in their basement because of untreated wood walls, and he asked if I had any suggestions on how to get rid of them. Thanks to this enlightening article, I'll be sure to advise him that they should contact a reliable termite control service that can provide more information about the control process and preventative measures. 8/29/2022 08:13:46 am

It helped when you said that wood frames and wood furniture are the usual places for termites.

Thanks so much for the advice to help prevent getting termites in your home. My sister has been noticing some damage to the wood in her home and she's worried i5t might be termites again. She had a similar problem last year so we've been looking into how to prevent them so she doesn't have to worry about them anymore. 10/25/2022 05:47:32 pm
I found it interesting that any type of wood could be the target of termites inside your home. Last night, my friend informed me they have termites in their basement because of untreated wood walls. He asked if I had any suggestions on how to get rid of them. I'm glad about this informative article. I'll advise him that they should contact a reliable termite control service that can provide more information about the control process and preventative measures. Thanks for helping me understand that termite damage repair would cost around $3,000 for each home in the U.S. which can be a total of five billion dollars. I will share this information with my husband so that we have an idea of how much we should prepare for the residential pest control services we will be hiring. We just found out that we might have this issue in the wooden shed that we have in the backyard. 11/17/2022 03:23:38 pm
I found it interesting that wooden frameworks could be damaged and affected by termites. Last night, my friend informed me they have termites in their basement because of untreated wood walls.

I'm glad you talked that wood piles and soil could be the way termites could go into your home. Yesterday, my brother told me they have termites in their basement because of untreated wood walls. He asked if I had any ideas on how to get rid of them. I'm thankful for this helpful article. I'll advise him that they should contact a reliable termite control service that can provide more details about the control process and preventative measures. 12/8/2022 02:46:36 am
It helped when you said that you could avoid putting wood things near your home to prevent termites. Yesterday, my brother told me they have termites in their basement because of untreated timber walls. He asked if I had any advice on how to get rid of them. I'm thankful for this helpful article. I'll advise him that they should contact a reliable termite control service that can provide more details about the control process and preventative measures. I never took into account the fact that US homeowners can actually pay around $3,000 to repair the damage caused by termites. I hope that we can hire pest control services as early as now to prevent issues like that in the future, since we have a limited budget. With their expertise, they can lay out methods or use products that can keep termites away for our house, since we live in a log home. I find it interesting when you say that a termite queen can live for 25 years and they lay eggs every 15 seconds. With that in mind, hiring a termite control service is important to immediately address the issues if we feel like we have them in our home. It might also be a good idea to hire their services for inspection and prevention purposes if there are no signs of those types of pests just to be safe.
