Termites 

Termite infestations are frightening but the situation is generally far hopeless: termite colonies can be eliminated and their damage repaired.  It can take about 3 years for a colony of termites that have also been breeding unmolested to severely damage a home.  A Home would really have to be uninhabited for a great portion of these 3 years for the homeowners not to have a clue about  Be smart, and engage a pest control company at the first sign of termite trouble. If you live in a area with active termites be proactive and get your home inspected twice a year: you could say yourself lots of misery.

Signs of Termite Infestation

Pencil like termite shelter tubes rising up from a subterranean nest spreading across the surface of foundation walls, up the basement walls and from the ground in the crawl space to find their source of food: wood support beams. Termites need to stay moist to live which is why they build the mud like tubes out of their excrement to keep their bodies safe from the drying rays of the sun and wind as they forage for food.

Piles of termite droppings around the wood moldings in your home is a sure sign of a rampant infestation.  

Once a colony gets too large, usually 3 to 6 years, the colony will send out a swarm of fertile insects on a mating flight journey to form a new home in wet dirt. Instinct forces the swarm of termites toward light in lieu of the Sun. This is why people will often see the presence of discarded wings on window sills or even dead termites if the swarm was loosed inside a home and the insects couldn’t make it outside to touch ground. Termites discard their wings to be better able to build a nest in the tighter confines of a moist earth nesting chamber.

Free Estimates Contact RVA Pest Elimination

Don’t ignore symptoms of termite infestation- get help. We’ll inspect your home and provide a free written estimate for treatment. Termites like dark damp places in your home so these places will be checked first during our introductory inspection and on a regular basis if you become a client. We’ll check everywhere termites can hide such as outside on the foundation walls, inside the crawlspace, or basement and we even tap the wood along baseboards and moldings to listen for a hollow sound that indicates a cavity of tunneled eaten wood.

Treatment costs depends upon the Severity of the Termite Infestation

Treatment costs depends upon the severity of the termite infestation.  Consider, the cost of not treating the infestation timely will be the condemnation of the entire structure which far exceeds any outlay you might have to make now to protect your property and family. Get the help of a professional like RVA Pest Elimination to discover a termite infestation. We will show you the evidence of any infestations that may be in your home and, with your input, will develop a plan to kill the termites and repel future ones.  No worries, our written estimates are firm.  Click to call us at (804) 255 - 9774
