Home / Terminte Problem? Call in a Termite Control Expert from Bates Exterminating

Termites are one of the most common pest problems in Florida. They can either live in the dirt or in dry wood. Homeowners should keep an eye out for them and call a Termite Control Bates Exterminating service at the first sign. If a gardener is working in a flower bed by their foundation, they might see mud tubes that look like a pencil. This is the way that termites move from one place to another. If the tube form disintegrates as it’s getting closer to the home, it means that termites have gone inside. They probably found a crack in the foundation.

If a homeowner is cleaning out their cupboards or bookcases and notices sawdust, that probably means that termites have been living there. When homeowners see paint bubbles on their wooden clapboards, they often call a house painter. They are then shocked when he tells them that they need an exterminator, because that’s a sign of termites.

When an exterminator arrives they will know how to inspect the yard, garden, and house structures for signs of a termite infestation. If the termites have been around for a while, the structure of the house might be in danger. Beams, flooring, and wood clapboards might have to be replaced. If an alert homeowner caught the problem early, then the exterminator can treat the specific area to get rid of the termites. He will also have to spray an insecticide on the perimeter of the house. Generally he will spray a 10-foot area on the outside of the home. However, if he notices termite activity throughout the entire yard, he may recommend treating the entire yard area.

If the home has a wooden deck, porch or steps, these will need to be treated on a regular basis by a Termite Control Bates Exterminating service to prevent the termites from coming back. If a tree has been cut down near the house, but the stump was left in the ground. It is a good idea to have it removed. The area should be treated with an insecticide and then replanted with grass. Homeowners should continue to work with an exterminating service to protect their home.
