Subterranean Termites In Kentucky Can Be Hard To Get Rid Of

How much do you know about termites? If you were to find a termite-infested tree on your property or you picked up a dead branch and saw little worker termites on it, would you know what to do?

Certified termite control professionals use advanced products and proven methods to get rid of termites. Without these products and this specialized knowledge, it is hard to get rid of termites. Today, we're going to share a few tips to help you with termite prevention and control, and let you know who to call if you need termite pest control in Kentucky.

Termite control professionals use specialized knowledge and professional-grade products to get rid of termites. When Kentucky residents try to get rid of termites on their own, over-the-counter products often fail. There are many reasons for this. Perhaps the most common reason is that these products become ineffective due to weather conditions. They must be installed and maintained properly to eliminate termite colonies.

When DIY control fails, this failure can go unnoticed because subterranean termites live in the ground or inside wood, hidden from view. Another reason to have a professional handle termite control is that professionals are trained and equipped to detect active termites. There is a whole lot more to termite inspections than looking for a termite-infested tree or mud tubes on exterior surfaces.

The only termite control we recommend to residents are measures that are known to be effective when performed by property owners, such as applying exclusions. If you take the time to seal exterior gaps and cracks, you can naturally deter termites from getting into your home.

It is not commonly understood that termite swarmers do not eat wood. The only way swarmers can get into your home is through gaps and cracks that are available. If you use a caulking gun to seal entry points, you can keep swarmers from getting into your home.

Keep in mind that Eastern subterranean termites aren't likely to make an aerial nest in your walls. They need contact with the ground. They're going to get into crawl spaces and cellars to create nests. They'll do this through gaps in wood and cracks in foundation walls.

If you've found active termites on your Kentucky property (or, hopefully, long before you detect activity) contact Action Pest Control. We offer termite prevention, annual termite inspections, and termite treatments to arrest infestations. This is the best way to prevent damage and the best way to get rid of termites in Kentucky.

• Our technicians are licensed professionals.
• We use the most advanced and trusted products, such as products by Termidor® and Sentricon®.
