The eastern subterranean termite<\/a> is one of three termites that plague residents within North America.\u00a0 The wood devouring creatures strike fear among homeowners in the state of New Jersey for good reason as termites cause approximately $5 billion in damages each year in the United States.\u00a0 Monmouth County, NJ exterminators<\/a> report that one out of every five homes within the state can expect to find termites at some point in time.<\/p>\n

No structure is immune to a termite\u00a0invasion according to termite exterminators in Monmouth County, NJ.\u00a0 A subterranean termite colony can range in size from 10,000 termites to a million termites.\u00a0 These wood destroyers have been known to travel up to a half an acre away from their nesting site as they attack both damaged and sound wood sources.\u00a0 Termites work in secrecy 24 hours a day from the inside of a piece of wood, hollowing out bits of wood pieces and taking it back to their nesting site.<\/p>\n

Homeowners will not find termites working out in the open as they are sensitive to the sun and weather conditions.\u00a0 Termites accessing the exterior portions of wood will form mud tubes that lead to the ground which they will be able to travel back and forth to the nesting site.\u00a0 These mud tubes are a tell-tale sign of a termite infestation.\u00a0 Another way that homeowners may encounter termites is while completing a home improvement project or repair.<\/p>\n

Upon discovering the pests, it would be easy to see why homeowner would want to grab a bottle of pesticide to kill the bugs.\u00a0 Once termites are discovered, Monmouth County, NJ exterminators warn that disrupting termite activity will cause the termites to warn the other termites within the colony.\u00a0 Those termites will then grab the termite eggs and leave their nesting site as they try to seek cover.\u00a0 The end result is that many other satellite colonies will form which will make destroying the wood eating pests much more difficult.<\/p>\n

It is always best to call a Monmouth County, NJ exterminator<\/a> at the first sign of any termite activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
