Termite Control

Hoosier Termite & Pest Control can stop termites before they destroy your property.

Kentucky and Southern Indiana are home to subterranean termites. Subterranean termites cause 95% of all termite damage in North America. A mature termite colony can range from 20,000 workers to several million. Subterranean termites can go unnoticed in a home for years and are often only noticed when there is swarm event. During a swarm the winged reproductive termite alates will emerge inside homes and businesses. They typically swarm during daylight hours after a rain and will quickly drop their wings. Swarms are a sign that there is a mature termite colony on your property and that treatment is needed. Hoosier recommends a complete inspection to locate any damage and proper treatment to effectively eliminate the colony.

Signs of Termite Infestations:

Z

Termite Swarmers

Swarmers are winged reproductive alates that break away from a mature termite colony to mate and establish new colonies. Sometimes small swarms may go unnoticed but discarded wings in piles around windowsills, doorways, decks, and hallways can evidence of a swarm event.

Z

Shelter Tubes or Mud Tubes

Subterranean termites require a humid environment to survive so, when they leave the safety of the soil, they create sheltered tubes along foundations and walls to travel from their nests to their food source-your property. These tubes protect termites from predators and from dehydrating in the sun. Shelter tubes are commonly found in crawl spaces, on exterior facing walls of garages, behind drywall, window frames and door frames.

Z

Structural Damage

If left untreated over time, termites will cause extensive structural damage to your home or business. Damage to floor joist and seal plates may require costly repairs. Damage behind walls and windows can cause these items not open or close properly.
