Termites, ants, spiders and rodents can all create problems in your home. You can attempt to eliminate insects in your home with sprays you purchase at a store, but the problem is these sprays don’t kill all types of bugs. Exterminators in Scottsdale can determine what insects or rodents you’re having problems with and give you various options to eliminate them in your home efficiently.
Termites are a silent insect that can destroy your home by eating the wood from the inside out. You can find signs of termites in your home including finding wings from them or seeing mud tubes along the walls of your home. These mud tubes or tunnels are for the termites to travel through to get from the ground to the wood they are going to make a meal out of. Newer and currently used tubes will be immediately repaired if damaged. Older tubes are dry and brittle and crumble easily.
Termites will create small holes in the wood or walls. These pinholes are the entrance of the termite to enter the wood and begin eating the wood from the inside out. Treating termites immediately after finding them is important so they do not continue to do damage to your home. When inspecting your home for termites you could possible mistake a mud dauber nest. These nests are approximately 2 inches long and have an opening at one end for them to enter and exit. Termite tubes are about the size of a pencil and extend up walls. Exterminators in Scottsdale can tell you if you have termites.
You can mistake wood rot for termite damage. If you find wood that has dry rot, it is important to remove it. This wood has become rotten due to moisture. Moisture attracts termites and that is why it’s important to replace it and destroy the wood you removed. Subterranean termites don’t leave their shelter tubes, so if you think you see one crawling, it probably isn’t a termite. The only way to find out if get treatment for termites and other pests in your home is to contact Cummings Termite Pest Control today before the termites do anymore damage to your home.
