Full-Service Termite Control in Greater Northdale, Florida

How Termites Destroy Homes

When termites come into a home, they fly in and set up a nest. Eastern subterranean termites will live in the soil around and beneath a home and then use mud tunnels to cross to the structure. Other termite species will live directly within the wall. Once they have moved into a home, termites spread throughout, seeking out every source of wood to consume.

They will then eat continuously, chewing tunnels through the wood. They will also breed, raising their numbers to include – in the case of Formosan termites – potentially millions of insects. Once the colony is established, a few of the termites will leave to start a new colony, but the original infestation will continue to eat away at the home’s structure unless you receive professional treatment.

Termite damage seems slow. But termites also do not limit themselves to only one piece of wood at a time. They spread out, feeding on more and more wood that all needs to be replaced once the termites are eliminated. Repairing termite damage can involve replacing multiple structural components and finishings, and billions of dollars are spent on repairs each year.

Identifying Damage Early with Annual Termite Inspections

The best way to avoid costly repairs is to identify and treat a termite infestation before it has time to spread throughout a home. Yet because these pests are small and do not always live in noticeable locations, they can easily go unnoticed – especially in these early stages.

A yearly inspection prevents termite colonies from growing. Rather than waiting until the signs become obvious and the damage is advanced, an inspection ensures that an infestation never goes untreated for more than a few months at most. With Florida’s aggressive termite species, inspections are a must for Greater Northdale homeowners.

Termites can be found around nearly any type of wood. In more natural settings like Northdale Park, termites actually help turn fallen trees into space and nutrition for future plant life. But in residential areas, termites feed on the wood of your home, and that causes significant problems with your ability to protect your largest asset.
