Subterranean Termites
Temecula and Riverside Residents be advised of recent Subterranean Termite swarms. Rain and ideal temperatures have brought a rise in termite swarmers to the Murrieta, and Temecula Valley. Pest Control Companies have seen calls escalate in just the past few weeks from residents, and business owners.
So what should be done about high volume of subterranean termites?
First and foremost, it should be verified by a termite professional if in fact the type of infestation that you have is that of termites. Termite droppings are a good indicator of a termite problem. Frass (droppings) look just like a pile of ground pepper, light tan in color or a darker brown.
TERMITE TIP- Sweep up the pile of what you assume to be droppings from the floor and wait to see if it develops again.
Another sure fire way to detect if you have a termite problem is by the sight of discarded termite wings. Collecting the wings and placing them in a ziplock bag is a helpful tool to show termite inspectors once they are on the property.
Local termite companies like Black Knight Termite Control can help with a termite problem by doing a termite inspection of the property. Concerned homeowners receive a FREE termite inspection with Black Knight Termite.
Once you have received clarification on your termite problem you can proceed with a termite treatment plan. Depending on the type of termite, drywood or subterranean, a termite professional can provide you with termite treatment options. Termites can cost home and business owners thousands of dollars in treatment and repairs if the problem is not addressed in the early stages of infestation.
Black Knight Termite Control offers what is called an ANNUAL TERMITE CONTRACT for homeowners. This Termite Contract is beneficial to residents in communities like Oceanside, Temecula, and Carlsbad for example where termites are active all year long. With regular professional termite inspections a termite problem will be caught and addressed in the early stages relieving some of the high cost in repairs termites can cause.
