Myth #1: New builds do not have termite issues.
It’s common for construction companies to clear trees to build new homes. However, deforestation does not eliminate termite colonies. When a termite’s food source is taken away (i.e. trees) but the termite itself is not eliminated, it will move on to the next available food source (i.e. your home)! Even if your home is brand new, make sure to invest in termite control from your local exterminator company.
Myth #2: A termite colony is easy to spot.
Did you know that a termite colony can house up to one million termites?! You’d think that one million termites would be easy to detect. However, they are prone to hide in hard-to-see places and are quiet creatures.
Without an expert eye, it’s nearly impossible to detect a termite colony. You must be looking for signs of termite activity. Signs of termite activity include:
- Damaged or hollow-sounding wood
- Mud tunnels
- Piles of small, delicate wings
- Pinholes in drywall or wallpaper
- Small piles of sawdust
- Winged termite swarms
Myth #3: Termites serve no purpose in nature.
Termites are a headache for homeowners and a cause for stress for insurance companies. However, they do contribute to our ecosystem. Termites munch on fallen trees in the forest, serving as the earth’s natural recycler. However, they cause serious problems to homes and they should not be ignored.
