Termite Protection With Ideal Pest Control

Termites are often called “silent destroyers” because they can cause major damage to your home without you even knowing they are there. Once termites infest the wood framing of your home, they can quickly and quietly eat it from the inside out, leaving nothing but a thin shell that can collapse without warning.

That’s why it’s so important to take preventative measures to keep termites away from your Garden City home. At Ideal Pest Control, we have been providing effective termite control services to homeowners in Garden City and the surrounding areas for nearly 50 years. 

Our team of highly trained technicians takes a proactive approach to termite control, using the latest methods and products to keep these wood-destroying pests away from your most valuable investment – your home.

Why Termites Pose Such a Threat

Termites feed on cellulose, which is abundant in wood. Your home likely contains a lot of cellulose-rich material, making it an ideal food source and habitat for termites. Some of the common places termites can infiltrate and cause damage include: 

  • Wood framing in walls, floors, and roof
  • Wood trim and sidings
  • Structural beams and posts
  • Furniture, books, and papers
  • Tree stumps and mulch near the home

Once termites find a way into your home, they begin hollowing out the wood from the inside while leaving just a thin outer layer. This allows them to go undetected for a long time while they cause extensive underlying damage. By the time you do notice signs of a termite infestation, they may have already compromised the structural integrity of your home’s wood framing.

Types of Termites

Termites are a type of wood-destroying insect that can cause significant damage to homes and other structures. There are three main types of termites:

Subterranean Termites

These termites build their nests underground and require contact with soil to survive. They feed on wood and cellulose-based materials and can cause significant damage to wooden structures. 

Drywood Termites

These termites do not require contact with soil and live in dry, undecayed wood. They are typically found in warm, coastal regions and can cause severe damage to wooden furniture, floors, and structural timbers.

Dampwood Termites

These termites prefer damp and decaying wood and are often found in areas with high humidity levels. They are less destructive than subterranean and drywood termites but can still cause damage to structures if left untreated.

Recognizing the Signs of Termites

To detect termites early and prevent major damage, it’s important to watch for some of the common signs of an infestation:

Mud tubes along foundation walls

These are pathways termites build to travel safely between their colony and food sources.

Hollowed-out wood that sounds dull when tapped.

Termites eat out the inside of wood, leaving hollow shells.

Piles of winged insects or discarded wings

Swarming termites often shed their wings after migrating into a structure.

Wood that appears pockmarked or peppered with tiny holes.

This damage is often easiest to spot on thin pieces of wood trim.

Cracked or bubbling paint and drywall.

Termites sometimes tunnel just below the surface, causing it to bulge or break open. 

If you suspect termites may have already infiltrated your home, Ideal Pest Control can inspect for damage and evidence of active infestations. Catching termite invasions early is key to limiting the harm they inflict.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I spray for termites?

While some over-the-counter termite sprays are available, they may provide only temporary relief. Professional termite control is recommended for a comprehensive and long-term solution. Spraying on your own may not effectively reach the entire colony, and misapplication can lead to incomplete control.

How do you treat termites yourself?

To treat termites yourself, you can use baits, stakes, termite killer dusts or liquid concentrates from hardware stores. Apply as directed, focusing on potential entry points. However, DIY treatments are often less thorough than professional treatments.

How do termite treatments work?

Termite treatments work by either repelling termites using liquid chemicals, poisons that kill them, or bait stations to lure them to a toxic bait. Treatment creates a barrier between the house and ground where termites may enter.

How long does termite treatment last?

Most termite treatments including liquid repellents and baits will last 3-5 years or longer. Some of the more intensive soil treatments using Termidor or Premise can last 10 years or longer before needing to be redone.

When is the best time to treat for termites?

The best times for termite treatments are the spring, summer or fall when termites are most active. Late winter/early spring is ideal to get protection in place before swarming season.
