Termites can be hard to spot, so you want to catch them early. If you suspect you have termites but aren't sure, your best bet is to contact local termite pest control companies for an inspection. Inspections or estimates might in some cases be free.
Other ways to tell include the following: If you see what look like flying ants or piles of shed insect wings. If you see tube-like dirt tunnels outside near the foundation of your house. If you notice damaged wood or sawdust-like piles. If you see either small white to clear bugs or dark brown bugs with black wings.
Evidence of any of these signs is reason to investigate termite treatment. However, since termites can cause a lot of damage, your suspicion or concern alone is also reason enough to warrant an inspection or preventative termite pest control work.
Termite treatment is a lot less expensive than most people think, and definitely much less expensive than fixing the damage that termites will do to your home or business, especially since most insurance doesn't cover termite damage.
Preventative or early treatment can be extremely reasonable, while the cost of other termite control methods depends on many factors such as the size of the infestation and the size of the structure needing treatment. The best way to get a rough estimate is to call several pest control companies and compare their quotes. If you have termites, unless you're willing to sacrifice your building, in the final analysis you really can't afford not to get control work.
There are several different ways that termite pest control companies kill termites and keep them from coming back. There are natural, non-toxic methods, sprays (some of which are less toxic than others), termite bait traps, and fumigation.
Depending on the severity of your infestation, these methods don't always work entirely on their own, so sprays and termite bait traps might be used together and in conjunction with yearly maintenance and preventative care. Combining termite control methods is called an Integrated Pest Management plan, or IPM, and is the most comprehensive approach, but every situation is different. Your exterminators will determine the best course of action for your home or business.
