Pest Inspection CT: When does Termite Season Start and End?

Pest Inspection CT – When does Termite Season Start and End? Termite season in Connecticut does not have a set beginning and end, as termites are active year round. The season when termites are most visible is typically March to November. While these CT pests typically are not visible year round, they can damage your house any month of the year which is why having apest inspection to see if you see any signs of activity is very important. Termites eat material that contains cellulose, such as wood, roots, plant debris, paper or cardboard. THese CT pests can gain entrance into a structure through any part of the wood frame in contact with the ground, through openings in the foundation around pipes and conduits or through cracks in the foundation. Termites can enter through cracks that are no wider than 1/64 of an inch. Subterranean termites, which are the termites we have here in CT, require moisture to survive. They create mud tubes to obtain access to a structure that is above ground. These tubes are created from soil cemented with secretions and fecal material. The tubes are to protect the termites from exposure to sunlight or dry conditions. Termites are able to survive in a structure without contact to the ground if there is a sufficient moisture source. Termites eat wood, destroying it which is why they can cause so much damage to your home. Termites cause over 2 billion dollars in property damage every year in Connecticut. Infestations that are ignored can lead to serious home damage. Call for your Pest Inspection immediately if you see any...

Pest Inspections CT: Why have a Pest Inspection on your home or property?

September 25, 2012 Why have a Pest Inspection on your home or property?  Don’t let termites take over your residence like they did to Tiger Wood’s ex-wife, Elin Nordegren’s home. According to an article in People Magazine, Elin recently had her $12M mansion in North Palm Beach, Florida demolished reportedly because is did not meet hurricane safety codes and because it was infested with termites. Termite Problem: Termites outweigh humans on earth and cause more than $2 billion in property damage each year. Termite damage is more common than storm, fire or earthquake damage, yet it’s rarely covered by homeowners insurance! Termite Solution:  Employ preventative or curative initiatives and even assist you in early detection of these unwanted creatures!

Pest Inspections CT: Increased Termite Activity Expected

A number of professional sources are predicting increased termite activity across the United States this spring and summer, primarily due to recent weather conditions. A cold winter followed by a warm, wet spring is likely to prompt winged termites to leave their subterranean colonies and attempt to establish colonies elsewhere. When a colony is located underneath or adjacent to a home or other structure, the termites might “swarm” around a window, in a garage, or in a crawlspace.  It’s important to note that a termite swarm is not necessarily an indication of a new termite infestation. Without periodic pest inspections, an infestation can go unnoticed for years, even decades. Earlier this week, we encountered swarming termites at a home in Litchfield, which had not been treated previously. They emerged from a tiny gap between the front porch and the house, surprising the homeowner (who initially thought that they were winged ants). However, there were no signs of termite activity in the crawlspace, or anywhere else for that matter. This homeowner was fortunate; too often, homeowners discover a termite infestation only after it has caused hundreds of dollars’ worth of damage. The good news for local homeowners is that we offer state licensed termite inspections, in which a trained licensed technician thoroughly examines termite-prone areas of the home, including garages, crawlspaces, porches and decks, attached sheds, mulch beddings, etc. A termite treatment, while more involved and expensive than a treatment for, say, ants, is a long-term solution that protects the structural integrity and monetary value of your home.
