Signs of Termites

Termites are small, social insects that live in colonies. They are so small that you may not even realize you have an infestation until significant damage has already been done. Termites are often called "silent destroyers" because they can cause thousands of dollars in damage without being detected. There are a few signs that you have a termite infestation, and if you see any of these signs, you should call a professional termite control company right away.

Signs of a termite infestation include:

• Swarmers: Termite swarmers are the reproductive termites that leave the colony to start new ones. These winged termites are often mistaken for flying ants. If you see swarmers in or around your home or business, you likely have a termite infestation.
• Mud tubes: Subterranean termites need moisture to survive, so they build mud tubes to protect themselves from the elements. These tubes are made of soil and wood and can be found on the foundation of your home, in crawl spaces, or in basements.
• Hollow or damaged wood: Termites eat wood from the inside out, so if you have a termite infestation, you may notice that your walls or furniture have a hollow sound when you tap on them. You may also notice that your floors or ceilings are sagging or that your doors or windows are sticking.
• Droppings: Drywood termites produce pellets that they push out of their galleries. These pellets can be found in small piles near windows, doors, or other entry points. Subterranean termites do not produce pellets, but they do produce droppings that can be found near their nests or in their mud tubes.
• Wings: After termite swarmers find a mate, they shed their wings. If you see piles of wings in or around your home or business, you likely have a termite infestation.

Why You Need Professional Termite Control

Termites are a serious problem, and if you have a termite infestation, you need professional termite control. Termites are difficult to eliminate because they live in colonies and are often hidden deep within the structure of your home or business. Over-the-counter termite treatments are not effective at eliminating an entire termite colony and can leave you with a false sense of security.

Professional termite control is the only way to eliminate a termite infestation and prevent future infestations. At A Step Above Pest Control, our termite exterminators have the training, experience, and tools to get rid of termites for good. We use a combination of liquid treatments and bait stations to eliminate termites and prevent them from coming back. We also offer annual termite inspections to make sure your property stays termite-free.

Termite Prevention Tips

Termites are a common problem in Culver City and the surrounding areas, but there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of a termite infestation.

Here are condensed termite prevention tips:

• Remove wood piles: Store firewood at least 20 feet away from buildings, elevated off the ground.
• Trim trees and shrubs: Keep them away from the structure to prevent termites from using them as pathways.
• Fix water leaks: Repair any leaks in pipes, faucets, or sprinklers to reduce moisture that attracts termites.
• Install gutters and downspouts: Direct water away from the building and clean gutters regularly to prevent clogs.
• Seal cracks and crevices: Seal any openings in the foundation, walls, or windows to block termite entry.
• Remove excess mulch: Mulch can attract termites; ensure it's not piled too close to the building.

These steps can significantly reduce the risk of a termite infestation in Culver City and surrounding areas.
