Do You Have Termites?

Various types of termites and other pests are common problems for San Diego home owners.  San Diego termite inspections are common for new home owners because they are one of the most costly and damaging insect infestations facing your home.  Because termite damage is often inside your walls and ceilings it is generally impossible to detect with the naked eye.  Having regular termite inspections, by a licensed pest professional, is as important to the health of your home’s structure as regular doctor visits are to the health of your body.

Signs of Termite Damage

Though it is often hard to detect small holes in wood or walls, sagging floors, crumbling drywall and tiny shelter tubes are signs that you may have a termite infestation.  A licensed professional can help you determine if you in fact have an infestation and how to treat it.

Termite Prevention

Even if you do not currently have termites there are a number of steps you can take to ensure your home does not become infested in the future.  Here are just a few tips to reduce your termite risk:

• Keep sawdust, firewood, mulch, wood debris, scrap lumber and other wood products away from your home.
• Seal cracks and holes in your foundation
• Remove any termite infested trees from your yard
• Keep gutters and drains free of leaves and debris
