ABOUT OUR TERMITE TREATMENT AND CONTROL SERVICES
Subterranean termites can conceal themselves in various areas of your home, such as the framing, furniture, and hardwood flooring. They can be difficult to detect without the expertise of pest control technicians who are specifically trained to identify where these pests hide and how to effectively install traps to catch them before they can cause significant damage.
Our bait station program provides protection from May to October, with complete results expected within two seasons. We also conduct monthly inspections to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of our treatments.
Constant vigilance is essential, as termites can be challenging to spot, similar to bed bugs. Please contact us immediately if you notice any of the following signs of infestation:
- Discarded wings
- Hollow timber
- Mud tunnels
- Swarmers
Termites are the most significant threat to wood-based structures, far surpassing risks from floods, wind, and fire. These pests inflict over $5 billion in damage each year in the United States alone, demonstrating that even the mightiest buildings can be taken down by the smallest invaders. When termites invade your property, there is no better choice for extermination than Pineridge's expert services in Ohio. We are your trusted solution for eliminating these destructive pests effectively and efficiently.
Termites are sometimes called “white ants” because of their pale coloring and physical similarities to ants. However, there are several ways to tell ants apart from termites. Like bees and wasps, ants have a narrow waist that segments their bodies—termites do not. Ants also have segmented or “elbowed” antennae, while termite antennae are straight. Both ants and termites have winged reproductive forms, but the forewings and hind wings of ants are different sizes, and those of termites are equal in size.
King and queen termites are large, sometimes over an inch (2.5 centimeters) in length. Worker termites and soldier termites are generally smaller.
