Subterranean Termites are one of the most destructive pests in Florida. Because they live underground and feed on wood from the inside out, it is fairly easy for them to go unnoticed until significant damage has already been done.
Our team knows how important it is to be aware of the signs of Subterranean Termites, as well as how to get the best Tampa termite treatment with Nvirotect Pest Control Services to protect their home.
Why Do Subterranean Termites Cause So Much Damage?
Subterranean Termites can be found in all states except for Alaska, and the USDA estimates anywhere between $1 and $7 billion dollars in damages annually related to Termite issues.
Unlike other pests that leave obvious signs behind, Subterranean Termites stay hidden while they feed. They build underground colonies that can contain hundreds of thousands of Subterranean Termites and travel through mud tubes to find food sources. These tubes protect them from predators and help maintain the moisture they need to survive.
Once they are inside, Subterranean Termites constantly feed on wood and can eventually weaken support beams, flooring, wall studs, and other structural components from the inside out.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Although they can be fairly difficult to detect earlier on, there are several common Subterranean Termite warning signs to keep an eye out for. This can include:
- Mud tubes along the foundation of your home
- Hollow-sounding wood
- Bubbling paint
- Stuck doors and windows
- Wings scattered along the floors
Even if it could be something else entirely, acting on the small signs can help prevent costly structural repairs needing to be done in your home.
How to Effectively Treat Subterranean Termites with Nvirotect Pest Control Services
While they may be more effective for other kinds of pests, do-it-yourself products rarely are able to treat an entire Subterranean Termite colony simply because the source of them remains underground. The professional Termite treatment services at Nvirotect Pest Control Services are specifically designed to target the colony and protect your home from future activity. Our Pest Control Service Technicians will identify entry points, assess the extent of the Termites, and recommend the most effective treatment plan for your property.
One of the most trusted solutions available is Termidor. When you get a temidor treatment in Tampa, it will create an undetectable treatment zone around the home, which allows the Subterranean Termites to carry the product back to the colony unknowingly and effectively treat it at the source.
Alternatively for year-round protection, the Nvirotect Pest Control Services team also proudly offers the Sentricon® Always Active™ Termite Bait System, which is an in-ground baiting system rather than a liquid barrier worker Termites will feed on, which continuously monitors for Subterranean Termite activity and helps stop colonies before they can cause extensive damage.
Protect Your Home Before Thousands of Dollars of Damage Occurs
Because Subterranean Termites grow their colonies and feed silently, waiting until visible damage appears can become an expensive mistake. For peace of mind, having recurring Tampa termite treatment from Nvirotect Pest Control Services can help to identify Subterranean Termite populations and treat them effectively to save you money in the long run.
