How Much Do You Really Know About Termite Control?

So you’ve purchased a new home. Do you know what the next steps are? Before you start decorating, there’s some steps in between - paperwork, inspections, etc. The last thing you need is the inspector telling you the home has termites. Don’t worry, you can check these warnings signs first before you call Daytona Beach Pest Control.

• Seeing cracks in the home’s foundation? Termites leave behind pencil-sized mud tubes as shelters around these cracks.
• Did you notice drywall starting to crumble? This is due to moisture which is a breeding ground for termites. When they find territory in the walls, they weaken it and can damage support beams.
• What are those unusual stains? In a bedroom, you notice the walls had bubbling paint and stains. These are more tell-tale signs of a termite infestation.
• Do the walls feel hollow? If you tap on a wall with a hammer or screwdriver and it sounds hollow, that’s a bad sign of termites living inside.
