East End Pest Control

Subterranean termites are the most destructive insect pests of wood in the United States, causing more than $2 billion in damage each year. Annually, this is more property damage than that caused by fire and windstorms combined.

Typical signs of termite infestations occur in March through June and in September and October. Each homeowner should be aware of the following signs of termite infestation:

• Pencil-thin mud tubes extending over the inside and outside surfaces of foundation walls, piers, sills, joists, and similar areas.

• Presence of winged termites or their shed wings on windowsills and along the edges of floors.

• Damaged wood hollowed out along the grain and lined with bits of mud or soil.
