Fungus Damage in the Spring
Megan Pinneo
A Wood Destroying Organism That May Surprise You.
This time of year we see common pests like ants, bees, and gophers creating a problem for home owners, but what else can you expect this time of year? Fungus! That’s right wood rot is a big problem for home owners in Riverside and San Diego County this time of year.
Why is wood rot a problem?
Wood rot is a problem because it attacks the timber in a structure. When fungus digests the timber it in turns get the strength it needs to continue its spread. Wood rot does not need moisture like most people think. Through the digestion of timber it generates its own moisture. Once the fungus damage spreads it weakens the integrity of the wood in a building. Wood rot is not something you want to overlook.
This time of year Black Knight Pest Control crew members, and termite inspectors tend to find new fungus that did not used to be an issue in earlier months. Not all fungus like the wet and cooler temperatures, though most do. Because of cooler temperatures in winter, and the occasional rain mixed with the marine layer it’s common for new fungus to spread. This is the time to find problematic fungus and treat it before a problem becomes a full blown replacement and rebuild of the area.
