Termites create irreparable damage to residential and commercial properties. These swarming insects burrow into wooden structures and destroy the building from the inside out. Rather than letting this pest takeover your home and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage, Arab Termite & Pest Control of Cincinnati in Ohio recommends keeping an eye out for the signs that you may need termite extermination services.

To save money and protect your investment, take a look at these indications that you need a termite inspection:

  • Swarming Insects: In the springtime, termites will emerge from their nests and swarm the outside of your building. If you’ve noticed insects that look liked winged ants, then you should contact a termite extermination service.
  • termite exterminationMud Tunnels: On the exterior of your building, inspect the perimeter to see if there are any tunnel-like structures made out of mud. Their presence is an indication that termites are present.
  • Hollow Wood: While this may take the expertise of an extermination service, you can check yourself by investing wood in your structure to see if it’s hollow. Because these pests eat wood, they can quickly destroy studs in walls and other wood materials on your building.
  • Sawdust: The accumulation of sawdust around the outside of your home is another indication that termites are burrowing inside. 
  • Moisture: Since termites are attracted to wet wood (it’s easier from them to chew), you should also keep an eye out for peeling paint on your interior walls. Moisture in your wood is an early sign that termites may be present or on their way.

Knowing how to spot the need for termite extermination will prevent property damage and save you a headache in the long run. To learn more about Arab Termite and Pest Control of Cincinnati, call (513) 385-3430 today, or visit them online to learn about their services.
