Monday marked the beginning of Termite Awareness Week across the U.S. Along with the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), we’re working to raise public awareness about these destructive pests. Here’s what you need to know about termites in our area and what you can do to make your home and property less attractive to termites.
Local termite threats.
Florida residents know that warmer temperatures mean an increase in the presence of insects and other pests, and termites are no exception. This time of year, they’re seeking places to establish their colonies and, depending upon the species of termite, they can make their homes inside your house, in piles of decaying wood or debris around your house, or even underground. Because homeowners insurance does not typically cover termite damage, it’s important to call pest control professionals at the first sign of the presence of termites.
Formosan and subterranean termites are particularly dangerous threats that are common to our area. At Turner Pest Control, we’re providing our customers with a powerful solution: The Termidor HP High Precision Injection System. It’s the only technology that offers the best termite protection while keeping disruption to homeowners’ properties at a minimum. It reaches termites where they live in the soil, delivering precise amounts of termiticide right where it can be most effective.
