Educate Yourself with the Ins and Outs of Termite Control

Congrats on purchasing your new home! Not only do you get to show it off to your friends and family, but you get to decorate it however YOU want. Before you sign on the dotted line, there’s some steps in between - paperwork, inspections, etc. The last thing you need is the inspector telling you that the home has termites. Don’t worry, you can check these warnings signs first before you call Ormond Beach Pest Control Service.

• Seeing cracks in the home’s foundation? Termites leave behind pencil-sized mud tubes as shelters around these cracks.
• Did you notice drywall starting to crumble? This is due to moisture which is a breeding ground for termites. When they find territory in the walls, they weaken it and can damage support beams.
• What are those unusual stains? In a bedroom, you notice the walls had bubbling paint and stains. These are more tell-tale signs of a termite infestation.
• Do the walls feel hollow? If you tap on a wall with a hammer or screwdriver and it sounds hollow, that’s a bad sign of termites living inside.

So what can you do? Call the Ormond Beach Pest Control Service for an inspection and termite extermination so you can purchase the dream home. Our pros will fix the house right up and prevent any future termite damage.
