Termites are harmful insects, and once they set their sights on our properties, are frustrating and challenging to deal with pests. Termites consume wood and are one of the few organisms able to do so. When living close to our homes and businesses, termites are destructive unwanted pests and can eat away at our structures for months or even years before anyone knows they're there. Out in nature, termites are eco-important, eliminating decaying wood and other organic matter.
In the Phoenix area, we experience problems with both subterranean termites and drywood termites, with subterranean termites being a much more widespread issue:
Termites are social and live and work together. Despite their small size, when termites work together, they can create significant and costly damage inside any home or business they decide to invade. Over five billion dollars in damages are caused by termites across the United States each year. The best way to protect your biggest investment, your home, from termites is to be proactive and partner with a professional.
At Green Home Pest Control, we have the services needed to guard your home and bank account against these hungry pests.
Subterranean termites are attracted to moisture. If there is excess moisture in or around your home and appropriate food sources available, termites will take advantage. Subterranean termites travel through the soil or mud tubes they create to and from food sources and their nest. Moving silently into structures through spaces in the foundation or things like porch steps, decks posts, and wood trim, subterranean termites, move and work unnoticed.
Drywood termites work a little differently because they get the moisture they need to survive from the wood they live in and feed on, not from the damp soil. These termites move into structures in various ways, including foundations, vents, gaps around windows and doors, damaged trim, and damage roof shingles and soffits.
Termites can become a problem on any Arizona property, meaning the best defense against this pest is to be proactive and put into place the services necessary to stop termites from moving into your home or business.
