Termite Control
for Southington, CT & Beyond
On its face, a pest infestation is distasteful. Turning a light on in the kitchen and seeing them scatter, finding one camped out in the shower, or seeing them hanging out in a closet is bad enough and are guaranteed to give you the heebie-jeebies. Now, imagine all those same feelings along with the knowledge that they’re quietly destroying your home. That’s what you get if you have a termite problem.
Termites have rightfully earned the nickname of the ”silent destroyer.” They’re the ninjas of the insect kingdom, as they have a talent for slipping into homes, offices, and yards virtually unseen. After they make themselves at home, they’ll find sustenance. They like to chow down on cellulose-based plant materials, which is a problem considering that every building utilizes the very same materials.
Some signs to look out for when trying to identify if you have a termite problem is buckling flooring, wood that is crumbling or damaged, or patterns within your furniture, walls, or flooring that resembles maze-like paths.

Signs of Termite Infestation
Each year, termites invade homes across the United States, costing homeowners thousands to repair the damages. The best way to prevent a termite infestation is by noticing the early signs of damage. Generally, subterranean termites swarm during the spring and summer months. They are much different than traditional drywood termites, as they live underground. This makes them harder to detect. The experts at ProSource Pest Solutions are here to help you understand the signs of a termite infestation. That way you’re prepared to call for termite control in the first stages of an infestation.
Stuck Windows or Doors
Hard to open windows or doors can be a warning sign of a termite infestation. Termites tend to target access points such as windows and door frames, where wood is exposed. As they begin to eat through the wood, it can cause the framing to warp. This makes them difficult to open and close correctly. Any structural problems such as crumbling baseboards, buckling floors, or ceilings can be the cause of a termite infestation. A termite control expert will be able to inspect the damage and determine if it’s the result of a pest.
Damage Under Paint or Wallpaper
During a termite infestation, these pests create tunnels and tiny pinholes. This can cause walls that are painted or wallpapered to appear unusual. Generally, people discover termite damage during home repairs or renovations. If you notice bubbling paint, peeling wallpaper, buckling wood, or sunken areas in your home – you should contact a termite control professional.
Mud Tubes
It’s important to check around your entire property when you suspect a termite problem. Mud tubes look like narrow veins along the outside of the home. They start from the ground and tend to run to areas with exposed wood. The mud tubes protect termites from the dry air. An easy way to determine a termite problem is by breaking a piece of the tube off and checking for live termites. If you don’t notice any initially, check the tube later to see if it’s been repaired. Whether or not it’s repaired, your home should be looked at by a termite control professional.

Benefits of Hiring a Professional for Termite Control
Termites are known for being attracted to wood, and they are drawn into homes or businesses by moisture. The warm summers in Connecticut and consistent humidity make for a greater chance of termite activity. You might have termites in your wood, wallpaper, or flooring and not even notice. When you see signs that you may have a termite problem, you need to get rid of these critters before severe structural damage occurs. While you may be thinking you can solve your termite infestation on your own, it is wise to contact a professional for assistance. A professional will have all the right tools and materials to safely remove all the termites from your property and prevent them from coming back. Termites are clever, and a professional has years of experience and knows their patterns and will ensure your infestation is gone for good.
While you can go to the store on your own and buy chemicals to remove termites, chances are you will not remove them all. At ProSource Pest Solutions, we will assess the situation and find a reliable solution so all the termites are removed right the first time. Contact us today for more information. We proudly provide termite control services to Southington, Cheshire, Wallingford, CT, and the surrounding areas.
