Signs of Termites in Your Home

Apart from when they swarm in the spring, this pest can be pretty easy to overlook with an untrained eye. While your best bet is always to invest in a professional inspection, there are several common calling cards associated with these pests that you can keep an eye out for:

• Mud tubes built for traveling above ground
• Damaged or hollow-sounding wood
• Pinholes in drywall or wallpaper
• Small piles of sawdust
• Piles of small wings

Do I Have Winged Ants or Termites?

It's easy to confuse termites for other winged insects such as winged ants. If you know what to look for, you can easily distinguish between the two. These insects have a "thick waist" while ants have a "pinched waist". Their antenna is also a give-away sign. Ant antennas are crooked and resembled an elbow shape, while termite antennas are straight and look like they have a string of beads on them. If you're unsure of what pest you're dealing with, simply contact our team of exterminators for a thorough inspection! They'll help identify what kind of pest is infesting your home and create a customized treatment plan.

How do Termites Survive? 

There are more than 2,000 species of termites, but only about 70 of them invade the wooden structures of homes. The most damaging is the subterranean species because of its nesting and foraging habits. Eastern Subterranean and Western Subterranean termites cause the most damage in homes throughout the U.S. They create their homes on the sides of trees, poles, or the sound of your home, and rely on soil for moisture.

Subterranean colonies are extremely large, ranging anywhere from 60,000 to 1.5 million. While you may not see the insect themselves, you may notice discarded wings on your floor or throughout your home. If you suspect you have a termite infestation, contact one of our professional exterminators. They'll be able to treat the infestation at the source,  removing the colony and termite population from your property entirely. 

How to Prevent a Termite Infestation

At Fenn, we prioritize your safety and happiness. That's why our exterminators are dedicated to not only removing pests from your property but also providing educational information to help prevent pests from returning and making the most of your treatment. Here's a  list of simple things you can do to make your home less attractive to a termite colony. 

• Stack firewood, lumber, or other wooden items several feet away from your house.
• Keep the wooden supports of porches, patios, or decks more than one foot from contact with your home's foundation, and use pressure-treated wood for all construction that contacts the ground. Treated wood provides extra coverage and protection.
• Move mulch containing wood or decorative wood chips at least one foot away from the foundation of your home. Sand and stones discourage pests from building a nest next to your home. 
• Repair and maintain eaves, gables, or shingles that allow moisture or water to enter your home. 
• Monitor moisture levels in crawl spaces and provide prompt treatment for built-up moisture.
• Relocate frequently watered garden or flower beds as far from your home's perimeter as possible.

Wood Repair

Termites can cause immense damage to the wood in your home. At Fenn, we offer repairs for termite-damaged wood. We utilize Bora-Care treatment for efficient, long-lasting wood protection. Bora-Care is a highly effective and low toxicity wood preservative, ideal for preventing damage from termites and other pests. Our wood repairing services include complete Escrow repairs, entire condo HOA repairs, complete patio repairs, and homeowner repairs. 

What are the benefits of Bora-care? 

• Protects wood forever against termites, wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, and dry rot
• Can be utilized for new wood construction, remodeling, or replacement work
• Environmentally safe, non-toxic, odorless, and no harmful chemicals to protect you and your family

How does Bora-care work?

• Borate attacks insects where they nest, eliminating current infestations while preventing future ones
• Borate does not include fumigation tents or require you and your family to leave the home
• Insects cannot develop resistance to Borate, so you'll never have to treat them again
