Small Pests Creating Big Problems

Termites are tiny pests that cause unbelievable damage. They measure from 1/8 to an inch in length, have a flat body shape, and can range in color from tan to dark brown. Generally termites are found in large colonies that hide within trees, stumps, and even walls of homes--often undetected until termite and pest control is called in. A queen can live for up to 25 years and lays an egg every 15 seconds, so the problem can get out of control very quickly. Termite damage is not covered by your homeowner’s insurance and the property damage can be devastating. Knowing how termites cause damage and signs to look for can help catch the infestation in time.

Signs of termite activity include:

• Mud tubes running from the ground to the foundation of your home
• Termite wings near windows and doors indicate swarms
• Termite droppings, which look like sawdust
• Hollowed wood
• Blisters in wood flooring

Check around your house periodically to look for any of the signs of termites and schedule a professional termite inspection to make sure your home is protected. Our skilled technicians at Green Wing Services can inspect your home and recommend the most effective termite control in Merritt Island for the specific type of termites that are making themselves comfortable in your home.

Termites in Florida

The warm climate and pleasant year-round temperatures make Florida attractive to humans and termites. This allows termites to be active for more months of the year than in colder climates. In Florida, we have subterranean, dampwood, and drywood termites. Subterranean termites are the most destructive because they have already done significant damage before they are noticed.

At Green Wing Lawn and Pests Services, we offer Merritt Island termite control for all common termites found in our area of the country. we start with a thorough inspection to confirm that you have a termite problem and identify the species. This allows us to provide the most effective, high-quality products that are specified to your needs.

Preventing Termites

A proactive approach is needed to prevent termites. Termites are attracted to wood steps, fences, decks, and wood used in landscaping. There are a few steps you can take to make your home less attractive and less accessible to termites.

You can help prevent termites by:

• Keeping the soil around the foundation dry
• Filling in any cracks to prevent access to your home
• Making sure all plumbing leaks are fixed promptly
• Avoiding planting trees or bushes too close to the house
• Keeping firewood and any other wood away from the house

Scheduling a professional termite inspection is another thing you can do to make sure termites haven’t entered your home, find problems early, and keep new termites from colonizing your home. We can provide an inspection and free estimate for termite control and prevention. Our team offers visual inspections at 12-18 month intervals or at your request to ensure that your home is kept safe.
