Termites can seem like mysterious insects. You may know that they can destroy your Dallas property—but know nothing else about them. If you have questions about how much of a threat termites can be to your health, and the health of your property, you've come to the right place. This will be the focus of our discussion today.
If you have learned that termites have invaded your home or business by the hundreds of thousands, you may be concerned that those insects could emerge and inflict bites. There are two reasons this won't happen. 1. Termites don't emerge. And 2. Humans aren't made of wood. If you're curious whether or not they have the ability to bite you, the answer is slightly more complex. Worker termites feed on wood, but they do so by scraping on it. Their mouthparts aren't really made for biting. Soldier termites can bite, but their mouthparts are too weak to cause a wound on human skin. So you don't have to fear termites if they've invaded your property. They're not going to take a bite out of you. But they'll definitely take a bite out of your wallet.
This is probably the question we get the most because it is often after termites have been discovered that we're called in to help. This is another complicated question to answer. Here are a few facts to consider:
Yes. Investing in professional termite control can give you 100 percent protection from termite damage. There are two products widely used by licensed termite control professionals. Termidor termiticide treatments and the Sentricon® System with Always Active™. The experts here at All-Safe Pest & Termite use Sentricon® with Alway Active™ because it makes the detection of termite activity a breeze. You can't put a price on being informed that your property was attacked by termites and your investment protected you. This doesn't happen with liquid treatments. With liquid treatments, you won't know when or if your property has benefited from the money you've spent to protect it.
There are many products available to consumers, including bait systems that promise to work like Sentricon® with Always Active™. Unfortunately, these termite control products do not have the success rate to back up their claims. There have been more than 60 published scientific articles and research conducted by 30 universities to document the efficacy of the Sentricon® System in eliminating termite colonies. It works. And when DIY products fail, you're not likely to know it. Termites are startlingly sneaky insects. You can walk through a structure that is infested by millions of termites and not know it. Don't risk your equity on DIY termite control. It just isn't worth it.
Yes. But the signs they give are subtle and difficult to detect.
Shelter Tubes — When subterranean termite workers come up from the ground to feed on your property, they may need to create mud tunnels. These are called shelter tubes or mud tubes. But shelter tubes are usually established in very dark places, such as under a deck, porch, patio, exterior stairs, or in a crawl space. Termite control technicians have found these tubes inside concrete piers within dark crawl spaces, and no visible sign of termites anywhere else. Don't count on seeing these tubes on your property.
Swarmers — When a termite colony matures, it begins to produce winged reproductives. These are called swarmers. If you see these tiny, dark-colored insects with their long white wings grouped together, you'll notice them. You'll also notice them if they emerge inside your property. But most of the time, they emerge outside and disperse within 30 minutes.
