Termite exterminators receive many telephone calls from residents during the springtime regarding termites in New Jersey. Termites are not just a springtime pest mind you, but this is the time of year that people find the tell-tale signs of termite activity in or around their homes.
Unlike other types of annoying and dangerous insects, termites are not normally seen as their colony exists underground and the damage that they cause can be difficult to determine in some instances. When they do come to the surface to attack a structure, termites will construct mud tubes which they will travel within from their food source and the colony. Even if the mud tubes are well hidden, home or business owners will eventually see the damage that termites leave behind, but usually only after the termites have caused serious damages.
Unlike other types of insect species, termites do not seek out the blood of their victims. Termites must live underground so that their thin white skin is not exposed and so that they can be somewhat protected from predators that they cannot see (they are blind).
Termite exterminators in Monmouth County, New Jersey as well as other industry experts, believe that one in five homes in New Jersey will be subject to damage from termites at some point in time. Termites cost home and business owners throughout the United States billions of dollars each year in damages. Once termites move into a home, they will not move out on their own. Termites must be eradicated by a licensed Monmouth County termite exterminator.
