Contacting a professional pest control company is the best way to get rid of any type of termite. Professionals have special tools to determine the extent of termite damage by addressing moisture or noise in the walls. Termites can cause expensive damage in severe infestations and can sometimes threaten the structural integrity of buildings. In Kerrville, aggressive non-native Formosan and Asian subterranean termites are on the rise. These termites work faster and populate quicker than other termites. When dealing with non-native subterranean termites, time is of the essence as these creatures can tear through the structural beams, floors, and walls building within a matter of months.
Another reason to go with professional care is that professionals are licensed to perform tent fumigations or use modern effective solutions like the Sentricon® Colony Elimination System with Always Active™. Not only can this product exterminate termites, but it can also prevent them. Properly stocked with the appropriate bait, these stations continue to keep termites away from your property for many years. If you live in an area like Texas Hill Country where termites are an issue for property owners, prevention is a great option. It is much cheaper than treating an infection after it’s already happened and can last for years.
If you suspect there is termite activity, immediately call your local pest control company, such as Asset Pest Management to perform a free termite inspection.
