When Do I Need A Termite Inspection?

Termites can wreak havoc on any home, potentially causing thousands in damage. However, termites have a tendency to nest in unseen areas and infestations can go unnoticed for a long time. If you’re wondering if it’s time to schedule a termite inspection for your Augusta GA home, here are a few situations when you might want to call a professional pest control company like Horne’s Pest Control.

If You Are Buying A Home

Before you buy a new house in the Houston area, invest in having the property inspected for termites. It can be a frustrating experience to purchase what appears to be a nice home only to discover it’s been occupied by termites for years. Subsequent inspections should be done annually to ensure these pests don’t return.

If You Live in an Older Home

Many homes constructed before the introduction of modern building codes are made of wood framing that has not been treated to deter termites. Also, older homes are more likely to have sustained hidden termite damage in the past. Thoroughly inspecting older homes for termites and any damage is essential to protecting your property.

If You’ve Seen Termites or Wood Dust

If you’ve noticed a few termites crawling around or their tell-tale signs of wood dust, it’s definitely time to have a termite inspection conducted. There could be a lot of termite activity going on within the walls of your home. An experienced pest control technician will know how to address the problem.
