When it hits, it comes like a hurricane. And that is interesting to say about something that occurs on the inside of your home. We are talking about a Subterranean Termite swarm in Lancaster PA of course. You may even react like it is a hurricane, except you may run to find the can of bug spray instead of running to hide.
When flying termites enter your home, your reaction will be typical, until you learn that the flying termites, or "termite swarmers" as they are called, are only alerting you to a much bigger problem. The bigger problem is that the termites in your Lancaster home that you are seeing, are not the ones that you need to be afraid of. It is the termite workers that you cannot see that are actually "eating you out of house and home." I know that is not a comforting thought, but now at least you know and have found out; it can go years and years before detecting a termite infestation which translates into damage and dollars.
Let us talk about what you should really be concerned with now, and where you should look for termites to be working on your home. The most common areas in a Lancaster PA home where termites can be found is the basement sill. If you live on a slab, you might find them in the baseboards or cabinets. In either event, you may recognize the activity by finding termite shelter tubes or mud tunnels and some refer to. Also, you may find wood damage from the Subterranean Termites
If you find shelter tubes, know that they are the highway for the termites to get in and out of your house. You may not want to disturb the tubes until you get a professional termite control company. A trained termite company technician will know if the tubes are active and full of termites by "probing" the wood or by breaking the tubes. It is best to let a trained termite technician do this.
To control your termites in Lancaster PA, a termite company will need to treat the areas in your home that have termites on the inside, as well as treat the entire perimeter of your home or business. The goal, is to treat the immediate problem (the infestation inside) and the prevent future termite invasion from the perimeter. The better termite companies in Lancaster will treat with a non-repellent transferable termiticide, which acts like a virus to the termite colony and spreads rapidly, killing the whole termite colony within months. This is impressive considering that you could have a million-member colony!
Now that we mentioned where the termiticide goes, let us talk about how it gets there. If you have an outside slab attached to your foundation, it will most likely need to be drilled, about every 12-16 inches. This is to allow the product to flow down to the foundation wall. If you have soil or mulch up against the home, it will be temporarily raked back to allow the product to be trenched along the foundation. As you might guess, this takes a while to perform.
When looking for a good termite control company in Lancaster, make sure that they use a non-repellent transferable termiticide, and have termite technicians with at least ten years of experience; after all, your home is your most important investment!
