A local pest control company, Superior Termite Control, is helping residents in the Los Angeles area protect their structures from damaging termites. The business owner said that the best way to ensure termites don’t become an issue is through an inspection done at a minimum of twice a year. Some properties may require more annual inspections.
“Termites are one of the leaders in destructive pests and they’re pretty quiet about it, so it’s really unsettling when a person finds their home has been destroyed in such a manner. Our termite control Los Angeles CA specialists can inspect your property for termites or help you deal with present ones,” the business manager stated.
The two most common termite species found in the local area are the Western Drywood Termite and the Western Subterranean Termite. Each cause damage in their own manner even though their habits are different. Drywood termites, as their name suggests, can withstand dry conditions for a long time. Subterranean termites prefer a moist environment and are the worst termite species in terms of the most damage done to homes annually.
“When it comes to dealing with the termites, oftentimes we find that the property owner is unknowingly creating a welcoming environment for termites to invade and destroy. Such attractions around a home could be mulch, dead trees and stumps, wood piles, clogged gutters and even leaves and tree limbs. It’s important to do your part in helping to prevent the termites in the first place,” the business owner said.
It’s not always easy to notice a termite problem right away. The damage often goes unnoticed for an extended period of time before property owners start to notice signs of them. These signs include damage to a structure, wings left behind in windows or on the porch, mud tubes on the exterior of the property and frass, which is the small brown droppings termites leave behind. All of these are signs of termites.
