How You Can Benefit From Professional Termite Control Services

Posted on

While termites' stings aren't lethal, they can cause adverse allergic reactions. Harmful particles from termites' nests such as saliva and droppings can spread through the air if your home is poorly ventilated. 

Termites can cause immense damage to your home. They can chew through wood and compromise your home's structural integrity. Also, spraying the termites by yourself can expose you to harmful chemicals from pesticides.

Here are ways you can benefit from professional termite control services.

Experts Can Identify the Problem

You might not realize your home is under a termite attack until you see their wings in your house. By this time, it's probably too late as the termites would have already invaded your home. Usually, these wings are shed by migratory termites that leave an established colony and fly around to create a new one. So, if you spot the wings, the termites are already staying in your house. 

Moreover, different species of termites resemble other insects, so it's not easy to identify them correctly. A termite control professional can accurately tell the type of termites in your home and trace their hiding spots.

Experts Have Different Termite Control Methods

Home remedy products offer blanket solutions that may not be appropriate for specific termite species. However, professionals have unique termite management methods for each problem. 

For instance, they can indirectly eliminate the termites by using products that don't kill them immediately. This delay gives the termites enough time to return to their nest and spread the toxins to other termites. This way, the professionals can eliminate an entire colony of termites with little effort.

The termite control experts can also eliminate the termites directly by fumigating your entire house. The experts can also inject the wood harboring the termites with pesticides. This localized treatment will kill the termites hiding deep in the wood where chemical sprays can't reach.

If you are concerned about the environment, the professionals have eco-friendly termite solutions such as borates and botanicals. These methods kill termites effectively without affecting the environment negatively.

Experts Help You Maintain a Clean and Healthy Home

Termite stings aren't the only health issue you need to worry about. When the termites chew on wood in dark and wet areas of your home, they can trigger mold growth. They will also spread the mold when they fly around. Mold can lead to various health problems such as allergic reactions and asthma attacks in people sensitive to mold.
