Why Termites Are Dangerous

Termites are one of the most destructive pests in existence. However, this is only the case when they attack structures. Termites receive their primary nutrition through eating wood, but they also attack products made of wood material like paper and books. They can also damage woody plants that are in decline like trees and shrubs. This is significant if the damaged tree could damage a home or habitation with falling branches and replacement value.

This makes hiring the correct termite company a critical necessity because often homeowners do not notice infestations until termites swarm into the living areas of the home. They also do not understand the problems with homes that may cause an infestation. Termites need an entry point. This entry point is often caused by some type of rot or other situations that cause an entry point to be damp. This often leads to their living tubes being discovered and the damage becomes apparent.

When Do Termites Swarm?

Termite swarms often happen in the spring and are often confused with swarming ants, but the two, upon closer inspection are easily discernible. Also the method of swarming sets them apart. If the swarm is happening between places that concrete and woody structures meet, it is almost always termites.

Although swarming termites are a problem, they can be vacuumed up and are not a danger, but the colony they represent is healthy and growing if they are engaging in the swarming event. This is a major problem, particularly if the home is on the market. This is the point when calling for a termite inspection in Newport Beach is the only viable option. Our team will often give free inspections, assess the damage and outline a regimen for eradicating the problem.

What Is One of the Most Common Sign of Termites?

A common indicator of termites are the dirt or mud tubes that will line wood and sheetrock when termites are present. These are the systems of travel that termites make so that they will not be exposed to the climate and predators as they travel when they are outside of the internal wood tunnels that they bore as they eat the wood. They will also use baseboards and other moldings to travel and remain undetected.

Often the tubes will appear between the internal sheetrock and the exterior coating of paint and texture. They are often not seen until the homeowner notices pin holes in their wall finishes with dried dirt surrounding its perimeter. This means that homeowners that dwell in areas that termites are a problem should not only be vigilant, but they should have periodic assessments by a reputable company.

How Many Treatments Will Be Needed to Rid My Home of Termites?

When using licensed professionals with proven track records, the bulk of the eradication will happen with one treatment. However, in some cases, more than one treatment is necessary, but an experienced exterminator is needed to assess the damage and the necessary treatment regimen. If the damage is extensive enough, a general contractor will be needed to repair the damage from the infestation and the resulting treatment.

Our Alternative to Fumigation

If you have termites in your home in Newport Beach, California, it’s understandable that you’d want the problem addressed as quickly as possible. After all, waiting to have your home treated can result in extensive and costly damage. However, acting without researching your options might lead you to fumigation when it isn’t necessary for your home. At Kilter Termite and Pest Control, we offer an alternative that is just as effective and much more convenient.

Having your home fumigated is a hassle. You’ll have to leave your home for days at a time, bag up your food and medications, and worry about negative health effects after you return home. At Kilter, we use the innovative KILGUARD system instead of fumigation. This treatment method does not involve the use of gasses or fumes, so you can remain in your home during the entire treatment process. KILGUARD is not toxic to people or common household pets. In fact, you won’t even need to worry about it harming your plants.

Most importantly, KILGUARD is exceptionally effective at eliminating both drywood and subterranean termites – the two species commonly found in California homes. And, typically one visit is enough to eliminate the infestation, which helps homeowners save money.

Have Questions?

Our Team Has The Answers.

To ensure that the treatment is being done properly, the homeowner should observe the treatment process. Unless the homeowner is chemically sensitive, there should not be any adverse health problems associated with a treatment done correctly. Ask questions of the pest control technicians. Keep track of how long it takes them to do the job.
Termites move randomly through the soil searching for a source of food (wood). They do not have the ability to know exactly where your house is. So, if your next-door neighbor treats his home for termites, your house isn’t automatically the termites’ next lunch. No, your house does not need to be treated; but, if there are active termite infestations in your neighborhood, it is a good idea to have it inspected.
The best thing you can do is to be involved and observant in the inspection process. For example if you request an inspection and the inspector doesn’t inspect obvious areas such as your garage, attic, basement, etc., then you may need to consult an additional company. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Fumigation process normally takes 3 days and 2 nights unless there is a holiday or weekends or if special arrangements are made. Kilter’s Stay in Your Home termite treatment requires no leaving your home at all.
