Hydrex Pest Control

Did you know that termites cause more home damage each year than fires? Termites are incredibly destructive insects causing more than $1.5 billion in damage each year. In most parts of California it’s not a question of whether or not you have termites, but when it will happen if they aren’t there already. In fact, over two million homes need treatment for termites each year. However, it takes a trained professional to detect most termite problems, as termites are silent as they take up residence in a new house or building. Because of their elusive nature, it is almost impossible for a homeowner to effectively deal with a termite infestation without professional help. Hydrex certified pest management professionals use special equipment and training to eliminate existing infestations and subsequently provide long-term protection from additional problems.

Pest Control Inspection

It is important to know the signs of a possible termite infestation. Contact Hydrex if you see any of these signs – catching an infestation early can make a big difference when it comes to termites.

• Look for mud tubes that are a pencil width in diameter inside and outside of your home. You will typically find such tunnels running from a bare section of the floor to any nearby area that contains soil.

• Distorted or bubbled spots where painted wood is found can also be a tell-tale sign of these insects.

• During the spring and autumn – typically when termites swarm – check your windowsills for dead termites or termite wings. These will be identical in size and feature a paper-like appearance.

• Any wooden support structures that are sagging or have changed in appearance may indicate a termite problem.
