By Emilia Kibbe


Termite colonies are based underground, making it easy for them to enter a home through cracks in the foundation and begin wreaking havoc on the structure. Luckily, a remedy is available that can effectively combat such infestations. The product that both prevents future invasions and halts those already in progress, is called Termidor, and it is safe and very effective when correctly applied by a professional. A qualified extermination working pest control Westboro MA can help a homeowner determine if this is the best course of action for their personal circumstances.

These destructive pests usually exit their underground habitats as swarms during the warmer days of spring and early summer. They appear as a cloud of insects wherever they have found and entry through the foundation. This type of invasion can happen so fast that it can go unnoticed for a long time. They do sometimes leave evidence in the form of their discarded wings. If possible, homeowners should attempt to capture either some of the bugs, or collect their debris, so that the technician can verify they are termites.

Because they have the ability to survive and thrive inside the walls of a structure for years without being detected, termites are called "silent invaders". Their discovery most often comes during renovations, remodeling, or construction projects. They can do major damage.

To get to the nearest food source, termites build mud tunnels along interior or exterior walls. About the size of the width of a pencil, these tiny passageways allow termites access to the wood in and around your home. A Westboro MA termite extermination service can help homeowners identify termite damage.

Homeowners who find hollowed out wood near their home may benefit from the application of Termidor. Self inspection can be conducted simply by tapping wooden structures to see if a hollow sound is produced.

Inspections during the home buying/selling process may discover signs of insect activity. This will not automatically mean there is a serious issue. Even if termites are found, measures can be taken to contain the situation and prevent further damage.

Professional extermination services may recommend regular Termidor applications to provide continued protection from the silent but destructive invaders.
