One of the most dreaded types of pests that can invade your home is termites. These tiny winged creatures can quickly damage your home by destroying the wood supports in your crawl space or basement. At the first sign of a Termite in Irvine, you should contact a company that can do a home inspection and an extermination to rid you of these home destroying pests.
Q.) Since my house isn’t very old, do I still have to worry about termites?
A.) Many people have the false assumption that termites are only found in old houses. While termites are often found in older structures, it’s not uncommon for newer houses to become infested with termites too. If the conditions are favourable, termites will attack any structure.
Q.) How can I keep termites from eating away at my house?
A.) Since termites eat wood, they are often found in old tree stumps and wood piles. To keep termites away from your home, don’t place any type of wood or wood materials close to your house. Remove any old stumps in your yard and don’t place mulch or wood chips up close to your foundation. Termites also need water to survive, so you should look around the outside of your home for termite water sources. These may include gutters filled with water, leaky water pipes in your crawl space or downspouts that don’t carry the water away from your foundation.
Q.) What can I expect when I call a professional exterminator for an inspection after seeing a Termite in Irvine?
A.) The exterminator will inspect every area of your home for signs of a termite infestation. After the inspection, the exterminator will discuss the type of treatment you need to get rid of the pests. You won’t have to worry about dangerous chemicals because termite treatment is safe for you, your family and your pets, so you won’t have to leave your home during the extermination.
