Termite Control Lehigh Acres

Watch Out for Termite Warning Signs

Termites are stealthy home invaders, so you may not initially see the damage they’re secretly doing to your home. These sneaky critters keep on gnawing, though, until they create problems that can ultimately destroy a house.

When a termite infestation reaches a tipping point in size and scope, you might see termite swarms. Alternatively, instead of seeing them directly, you could find the wings they’ve shed or the mud tubes they’ve created near your home. If you close off the mud tubes and then see them quickly come back, you almost certainly have a termite infestation—and, even though you don’t see the termites themselves yet, it could be a large infestation.

Or if your home has had termites for a while, you might already see the havoc they’re wreaking in your home.

Termite Types in Lehigh Acres, FL

Due to our state’s wet wood, numerous termite species exist in Florida. The two commonly found varieties are Formosan termites and Eastern subterranean termites:

• Formosan termites are found in large numbers in our state with one single colony potentially having more than a million members. Plus, their behavior can be quite aggressive, making them a termite species you don’t want anywhere near your home.
• Eastern subterranean termites come with good news and bad news. First, they’re less aggressive than their Formosan cousins. Unfortunately, because their numbers are so incredibly prevalent, they can be the more destructive species.

These termites live in colonies that can continue to grow in size with their queens laying eggs throughout their entire lifetime (which can be fifty years long!). While you may only see a handful of termites in your house, numerous others are likely just out of sight.

Insights Into Termite Treatment Services

Termites can sneak into homes in the craftiest ways, including through cracks and crevices as small as 1/32 of an inch. Therefore, our Lehigh Acres pest control experts treat even the tiniest foundation cracks—ones that, despite their small size, can serve as entry points. We also address other vulnerable spots, such as plumbing entry points and wooden forms that builders might leave behind after pouring concrete.

If you have above-slab patios and room additions where soil levels are higher, we’ll treat these areas, as termites might use them as on-ramps into your home. Soil treatments are much more effective than bait systems, working ten times faster.
