Termites
- Why the Concern ?
There are many species of structural infesting termites the pest
control professional has to treat and control. Each species of
termites
has developed effective ways to get at and attack the wood in your
home. Effective termite control is
vital if you want to avoid termite damage..
In
Metro
Atlanta we deal primarily with subterranean
termites, which are the most destructive insect pests to wood in the
United States. Annually, homeowner termite losses are estimated to be
over $2
billion - more
than all fire and wind storms combined.
Subterranean
termites live in
underground colonies,
although sometimes termite colonies can be within your home
itself. The
"worker" termite forages outside of the colony for food. The
termite
consumes the wood creating "galleries" and then returns to feed the
rest of the termite colony. Telltale signs of a termite
infestation
includes mud (or
shelter) tubes on foundation walls, termite swarms and infested wood
members. The way to effective termite control involves:
 Eliminating
termite entry points.
Eliminating
excess moisture.
Creating
a barrier
around your home - termite treatment.
Controlling
the termites
that already infest your home.
