Termite Control and Pest Control Treatment Services for Termites and Residential Pests
Protect Your Home from Termites With Termite Control, Termite Treatment, and Home Inspections
Termite control is crucial to protect possessions and investments since termites are very destructive pests that can cause significant damage to homes and properties. The majority of houses contain a large amount of cellulose, an essential component found in wood and other plant elements that these hungry pests feed on. Termites silently and secretly consume the structural components of a building as they invade it, weakening the walls, foundation, and wooden parts. This slow, hidden rot might eventually cause serious structural damage and threaten the stability of the entire building. Homeowners who don’t use appropriate termite control measures face the danger of needing expensive repairs and can even put their own safety at risk. It is essential to protect valuables like furniture, wood floors, and personal goods from termites. They can damage these items permanently if regular inspections and preventive measures are not taken. Contact us to control your pest problems safely and effectively.
Signs of Termites and Termite Damage in your Home
Mud Tunnels– Mud tunnels are built by termites as safe routes between their nests and food sources. You may discover these pencil-sized tubes along foundations, walls, and other surfaces around your home.
Bubbling or Uneven Paint– Excessive moisture might make your paint bubble, peel, or lift. Although this may be a typical indication of water damage, termites are drawn to moist areas. Bubbling or uneven paint can suggest that termites are present.
Sagging Floors or Ceilings– The structural integrity of the house may be impacted by termite damage to the subfloor, which can also cause floor movement. As boards scrape against each other or nails, the floor may begin to creak. A defective subfloor may sink, and a sagging subfloor may cause the top layer of tile or hardwood flooring to slide away from it. Similarly, sagging and buckling ceilings can resemble light water damage when really it means there is an active termite infestation.
Wood Damage– Termites eat wood internally, leaving the outer layers undamaged. Keep an eye out for wood that has been fractured or hollowed, especially around wooden buildings, doorframes, and windowsills. Our pest experts offer a termite inspection to examine the wood around your property and pinpoint any potential termites. Wood damage can lead to severe problems for your home. However, an inspection can catch damage early, providing home protection and giving you peace of mind.
Discarded Termite Wings– As mature termites leave the nest to establish new colonies, termite swarms can occur inside or outside of a house. Swarmers take off and quickly lose their wings. Small clumps of wings may be seen in spider webs and on surfaces near the foundation of your home, such as windowsills. This is a huge indicator that there may be a termite infestation near your home.
The Importance of Termite Treatment Service in Residential Pest Control
There are a queen and king in termite colonies. When it comes to making sure that the colony is well-populated, the king is the colony’s second-most crucial member after the queen. These pests remain safe underground, mating with the queen and releasing chemicals that regulate an assortment of colony functions. Commonly, a subterranean termite colony has close to two million members, while a drywood termite colony may only consist of 5,000 or fewer. These pests are small and hard to see so it is important to keep an eye on the structural foundation of your home. Termites can take over your home and it often can take years for you to realize that there is a serious problem. We help our customers in the Sussex, NJ, and Morrisville, PA areas, understand the severity of termite infestations and the importance of residential pest control. Our control experts will keep your home pest-free with our advanced termite treatments. Protect your home from the damage and frustrations of termites!
Termite Inspection Service and Baiting Systems
Here at Ecotect, we use an incredible termite-baiting system called Trelona. Trelona creates a strong and hidden bait station that is intended to promote station interception and feeding by combining the most cutting-edge termite bait system with the latest research in termite behavior. A system that offers year-round protection and can be applied as both a monitoring or an active system. Trelona contains the pest growth inhibitor novaluron as its active ingredient. Novaluron is a chitin blocker that prevents termites from molting and from producing eggs. Over time, this results in colony eradication. Another great component of Trelona is once the system is installed, the homeowner now owns the system. There is no need to worry about it being removed if you stop receiving services. Trelona bait stations are designed to be difficult to open without a station access tool to minimize tampering by children and pets. None of the ingredients in the bait matrix are particularly attractive to pets.
