Identifying and addressing the menace of home termites

Identifying and addressing the menace of home
termites

• The task of termite control is a very difficult
  one. The most annoying part of the problem is
  that the homeowners remain unaware of the threat
  until an entire colony of termites has grown.
  Once they are noticed, the damage maybe
  controlled but the common fact is that they may
  have grown into several other rooms and on the
  floors and ceilings. Houses built from organic
  material are more vulnerable to termite attack.
  In case the colony happens to be big or if it
  remains unchecked, then different organic
  materials such as couch and books may be
  affected.

Methods for detecting the colony

• It is therefore important that the colony be
  detected at the earliest so the damage can be
  undone before it starts spreading. Different
  methods are employed by professionals for
  detecting a colony. Dogs are used by some
  professionals. The dogs used in this method are
  well trained to smell the termites. Another
  method is using infrared cameras for checking any
  prevalent colony behind the ceilings and walls.

When to be alert

• You never know when unwanted guests would enter
  your home. You need to be extra careful for
  termites. However, some termite colonies remain
  hidden from plain sight. In such cases, the only
  solution is to hire professional services.
  However, there are many other tips that will help
  you detect an infestation on your own. Look out
  for the mud tunnels which are usually located
  inside the house. They are searched by termites
  for food and water. Another sign is to look out
  for swarms or flying ants. They convey a warning
  that the termites are nearby. Also do not forget
  to look out for wings. Wings are usually left out
  by swarms near the windows. The clearest sign of
  termite infestation is wood damage. When you tap
  a termite infested wood, you would hear a hollow
  sound or something that sounds like a dull thud.
  All these signs would warn you of an imminent
  termite invasion.

Addressing the problem

• Several home remedies are available if the
  homeowner desires to address the problem. Hiring
  a professional company would be a much better
  idea. This is because homeowners are not experts
  at tracing and solving the problem. The problem
  even if treated may not be solved completely.
  Home remedies often miss out another possible
  colony. Such incidents would only lead to the
  problem popping out again. So the best advice in
  such a case would be to hire a professional
  company dealing with termite control.
