How to Identify Termites

Termites and flying ants possess a very similar appearance, enough so that, without closer inspection, you may mistake one for the other. In order to effectively treat your pests, you must properly identify which insect is responsible for your infestation.

Ants

Thorax and constricted abdomen are clearly defined

Front pair of wings is larger than rear pair and only a little larger than the body

Distinct elbow-shaped antennae feature an elongated first segment

Termites

Ribbed abdomen is one continuous, thick piece with no visible waist

Two pairs of vein-filled wings are equal in length and twice the length of the body

Antennae are straight and somewhat short, and they have no eyes

In addition to identifying termites by sight, there are a number of signs that indicate their presence. Termites often build mud tubes, which are thin mud structures as small as -inch diameter that connect the ground to your house, garage or other wooden structure.

Inspect wood structures closely for signs of decay by gently tapping on them. If a solid beam sounds hollow, chances are you have termite trouble. Discarded wings are a physical sign that termites may be in the house, as reproductive termites shed their wings once they find a new place to set up a colony.

While you should leave termite removal to the professionals, knowing the methods they will use can help you in understanding the best ways to treat the problem and help prevent it from recurring.

One popular termite-removal method involves treating the soil around your house with an insecticide, such as imidacloprid or fipronil. Wood can also be treated directly if termites are inside.

Termite baits are strategically placed around your yard to lure termites in. Once there, the termites are covered with a slow-acting insecticide or insect growth regulator. They then return to the colony and poison the other termites.

Taking steps to prevent termites can save you a great deal of money. Moisture is an absolute necessity for termite colonies to survive and thrive, so eliminating damp areas around your house is essential to preventing termites.

Within these areas, pay special attention to all wooden construction elements, support posts, sub floors, joists, support piers, wooden decks, and porches. Especially window seals, window frames, wood piles, debris near your homes foundation, also tree stumps and wooden fence posts. Areas where concrete meets wood, like on steps, concrete slabs, and porches. And cracks in brick construction, their expansion joints, and also cracks or spaces in cement, where termites might gain access. Now that you know where to inspect for termites, keep your eyes open for these common termite signs. Winged termites, individually or in swarms located near indoor or outdoor windows. Their presence can indicate a nearby nest. Mud tubes, which are tunnels made by subterranean termites to get from the soil to the wood. These may be present on wooden elements, concrete slabs, or walls in your basement or crawlspace. Other signs include piles of wings, damaged wood- especially small homes in the wood, and cracking paint. If you see any of these signs, take the sharp tool and probe these areas. This will expose any tunnels and their termites. Now you know how to complete a thorough termite inspection. The next step will be treating these areas with products the pros use. So make sure to check out our other videos in the termite series for product recommendations and application instructions. And its that easy with the expert help from Do My Own Pest Control.com

Termites are extremely destructive wood-eating pests that can devastate your home, and cost homeowners thousands of dollars every year. While most people and pest professionals will discourage you from attempting your own termite treatments, termite treatment cost and even termite treatment inspection cost can be so high, you could be discouraged from treating at all. However, it is entirely possible to avoid these bank-breaking costs.

Many people may be unaware of what a termite inspection entails. This type of inspection isnt included in a home inspection job, but is highly recommended. A pest control professional will come out and check the foundation of your home, making sure there is no wood in contact with soil. They are looking for any signs of termites (mud tubes, droppings, wood shavings, etc.), as well as any wood-damaging insects or organisms (mold, damp wood, or leaks.). You may get a free inspection, but the report they fill out that indicates problem areas could cost up to $150.

The main problem with inspections is just making sure you have chosen a very trusted and reputable company to do this for you. Otherwise, you may end up getting a false diagnosis and subsequently paying for treatments you didnt need. You may think youre not certified or knowledgeable enough to inspect your home, but it is entirely possible to learn quickly what to look for. Learn more about how to do your own termite inspection.

This is where the money really comes in. There are different types of termite treatments and most are based on the size of your home or area to be treated. Here are some key points to keep in mind when considering hiring termite treatment companies.
