Termite Inspection: Five Places You Shouldn't Overlook!

TERMITE INSPECTION- FIVE PLACES YOU SHOULDN'T OVERLOOK! Termites can wreak havoc for a long time before they are discovered. There may be little or no warning signs of an infestation. Learn more about what to look for and where to look for it. Things to look for: • discarded wings • mud tubes • droppings 1 The ATTIC is typically framed with wood- making it an ideal home for termite colonies. If you do not have an attic, ensure that the pest inspector checks under the eaves of the home. 2 The wood of your PERGOLA or DECK could be at risk. If wood is not pressure-treated, it must be thoroughly sealed or painted. Be sure to check support beams, which are often out of sight, and may have deteriorated without being noticed. Don't forget to look OUTSIDE! Keep woodpiles and woodchips away from your home. Remove dead trees and limbs promptly. Termites can easily move from these tasty locations directly into your home. Checking the BASEMENT is a must. This is often the site of infestations because it is a 4. sheltered place containing wood sills, joists, and support posts, providing access to the entire subflooring. Like basements, CRAWLSPACES are prime locations for termites. Even worse, because they often have no flooring – just soil – it's even easier for termites to enter. A professional termite inspector can highlight problem areas you may have missed. Get regular inspections today to avoid future costly repairs. The soil should be completely covered and sealed off to prevent infiltration. PRESENTED BY: FP ESTEXTERMINATOR| For more termite and pest control tips, visit PestExterminator.com .com
