What Are Termites?
Termites are small insects that are related to ants and bees. There are several different species of termites, but the most common species found in Sugar Land and the surrounding areas are subterranean termites. Subterranean termites live in large, organized colonies and are the most destructive species of termites in the United States.
They feed on materials that contain cellulose, which is found in wood, paper, and other plant-based materials. Some species of termites can also damage books, insulation, and swimming pool liners.
Signs of a Termite Infestation
Termites are known for being discreet, so it can be difficult to know if you have a termite problem until the damage is already done. However, there are a few signs that you can look out for that may indicate a termite infestation:
- Swarmers: Swarmers are winged termites that are responsible for starting new termite colonies. Seeing swarmers near your home or business is a strong indication that there is a termite colony nearby.
- Mud tubes: Subterranean termites build tunnels made of mud and saliva to protect themselves from predators and to maintain moisture. If you see mud tubes running along the foundation of your home or along the walls, it’s a sign of a termite infestation.
- Discarded wings: After a termite swarm, you may see piles of discarded wings near windows and doors.
- Wood damage: Termites eat wood from the inside out, so it can be difficult to see the damage. However, if you tap on a wooden surface and it sounds hollow, it may be because termites have eaten the inside of the wood.
- Sagging floors and ceilings: If termites have caused structural damage to your home, you may notice that the floors and ceilings are sagging or buckling.
If you see any of the above signs, it’s important to call a professional right away. Termites are not a pest that you can get rid of on your own. At Modern Pest Control, we have the tools and expertise to effectively eliminate termites and prevent them from coming back.
How to Prevent Termites
Preventing termites can be challenging, but there are a few things you can do to make your property less attractive to these pests. Here are some helpful termite prevention tips from our Sugar Land exterminators:
- Eliminate sources of excess moisture: Termites need moisture to survive, so it’s important to address any moisture issues in and around your home. Fix leaky pipes and faucets, make sure your gutters are working properly, and consider installing a dehumidifier in your basement or crawl space.
- Store firewood away from your home: Firewood should be stored at least 20 feet away from your home and should be elevated off the ground.
- Keep your yard well-maintained: Termites are attracted to dead wood and other plant debris, so it’s important to keep your yard free of leaves, branches, and other debris. You should also keep your grass short and trim back any shrubs or trees that are touching your home.
- Seal any cracks or gaps in your foundation: Termites can enter your home through the tiniest of cracks, so it’s important to seal any cracks or gaps in your foundation. You should also seal any gaps around your windows and doors.
- Don’t use wood mulch in your garden: Wood mulch is a popular landscaping material, but it can attract termites. Consider using a different type of mulch in your garden.
- Get rid of any standing water in your yard: Termites are attracted to standing water, so it’s important to get rid of any sources of standing water in your yard. Fix any leaky sprinklers or hoses, and make sure your yard is properly graded so that water drains away from your home.
- Reduce wood-to-soil contact: Termites can easily access your home if there is wood-to-soil contact. Make sure that your deck, fence, and any other wooden structures are elevated off the ground and are not touching the soil.
