Full-Service Termite Control in University, Florida

Signs of Termites in a Structure

Termite colonies visit or live in attics, walls, decks, and floors, chewing away at the wood. The colony itself may be located within the home (for drywood termites) or further away, but no matter where they originate from, they can be hard to find. Keeping an eye out for some common signs can help identify a termite infestation early on. Issues to look for include:

• Wall Damage – Peeling paint, drywall showing resemble water stains, and holes can all indicate termites at work behind the wall.
  
  
• Floor Damage – Termites can cause floors to buckle and squeak and the excess moisture can result in tiling coming up.
  
  
• Maze Patterns – In addition to unseen damage behind walls and beneath floors, you might see termite damage in furniture that looks like a maze.
  
  
• Mud Tunnels – Certain types of termites build tunnels out of mud to travel from their nest to their food source.
  
  
• Shed Wings – When termites settle at a property, their colony will drop their wings. You might see these wings collect around their nest or captured in spiderwebs.
  
  
• Tapping Sounds – Termites will emit a tapping when feeling threatened. If you knock against the wall and hear tapping in response, termites are present.

By the time these signs become noticeable, it is likely that the infestation has gotten significantly large and may have already done damage, so rapid treatment is necessary. Regular annual inspections can prevent infestations from growing out of control before they’re noticed. Rather than waiting for apparent signs, we use the newest equipment to carefully examine a house for any termite activity.

Comprehensive Termite Treatments

Whether you’ve been receiving annual inspections from us or not, we can help you eliminate termites at the first sign of an infestation. We will start with an inspection to understand the scale of the infestation and the species present. This allows us to choose the correct treatment to quickly and completely eliminate the entire colony.

We rely on a range of solutions to handle different types of infestations. Through one or more methods like spot treatments, baits, fumigation and others, we kill termites, their eggs, and their queen to help eliminate the entire colony. We know that wood eating pests are stressful even before treatment, so we always choose the least invasive, but still effective, method to limit further damage and disruption in your home.

Additionally, we also provide termite prevention with the application of special termiticides. These treatments will keep out some species, lessening the risk of an infestation. When used in combination with annual inspections, termite damage can be well prevented, and your home at less risk for expensive repairs.

Choose Nextgen for Termite Inspections and Treatment

Termites are a part of nature. When a tree falls in Lettuce Lake Park, termites will sense it and start converting that wood into nutrients that go back into the earth and help feed the next trees.

But your property is your largest investment, and termite colonies, especially if left untreated, can cost you thousands of dollars in damage. Contact Nextgen Pest Solutions today to learn more about our termite treatment services, or to get started with a free quote.
