Because of their unique habits, termites have proven difficult to control with existing treatment methods. The nest must be located and destroyed, and the structure may require repeated treatments in order to gain control.  Costs associated with treating termites are typically higher than other species, and homeowner insurance policies do not usually cover wood boring insect damage. If you suspect a termite infestation, it is important to contact a licensed pest professional promptly.

Swarmers looking to start a new colony are typically the first sign of termite season as these winged-pests show up inside homes in early spring. To get rid of termites in the home, contact a termite management specialist to address the infestation and recommend a course of proper termite control.
