Winter Does Not Stop TErmites
Termite Warning Signs

Termites. Just one word can make any homeowner shudder with fear and anxiety over the thought that they might be invading his home. After a season of lying low, the warm weather always coaxes termites out of hiding, and you’ll have a better chance of getting rid of them if you know the signs to look for. If you see any of these signs, it’s best to contact a NJ pest control specialist right away.

Mud Tubes – In order to stay out of the sun and create an easy path into your home, termites will construct mud tubes. These tubes are about the size of a pencil and you may see them on the land around your home, in your basement or in a crawl space.

Swarms – If you see swarms of bugs in your yard, look a little closer. Termites will grow wings and swarm during the spring when it’s time to reproduce.

Sawdust – Are you finding piles of sawdust in random places? This is a sign that you have termites. They leave these piles in their wake.
