No matter where you you live, OK maybe not Alaska but you probably will encounter termites. In Florida and the east Coast chances are that you might find them in the early Spring – sometime near March and April depending on temperatures and weather. In Louisiana it might be different depending on the type of termite and in Arizona our main push of termites is usually after monsoon and the rains, August – November give or take.
This picture above is typical of our Western Subterranean termites, they will find their way up into a wall and then sometimes make a little hole and mud it up or they will make down tubes. But anyway you look at it, this is what you are looking for.
My recommendations for your home and a termite inspection:
- You can look yourself, since you’re on my blog – type in termites to see what it looks like.
- Normally you can get a free inspection, unless it’s for a sale of a home or business.
- When your doing housework, glance around for anything you haven’t noticed before.
- Looks for mud tubes on the foundation of your home, garages are an excellent place for termites – look at expansion joint.
- You can always call ProBest for our opinion, you can send photo’s to [email protected]
