Can Termite Damage Be Stopped?

No property owner wants to come across what looks to be damage inflicted by termites. The bad news is an infestation can go a long time without being detected, meaning the amount of damage inflicted upon each home varies. Luckily, termite damage can typically be stopped when an infestation is found depending on how quickly action is taken as well as the effectiveness of treatment. The best way to ensure you stop further termite damage from occurring is by calling a pest control company to inspect your property and  begin treatment as soon as possible.

Stopping Termite Damage in its Tracks

Even if termites have already caused significant damage, stopping them from continuing on their path of destruction is possible. Stopping termite damage from spreading requires locating and eliminating the queen termite, which must be done by an experienced pest control expert who has a trained eye!

• The first step toward eliminating the infestation is hiring a professional pest control company to thoroughly inspect and diagnose the situation.
• When it comes to completely stopping an infestation, the most important step is eliminating the queen termite, who is the source of new termites being born within the colony.
• Once the queen is located and eliminated, it is likely the infestation can be completely controlled with attentive pest control experts who can administer effective treatments.

Preventing Future Termite Infestations

Unfortunately, termite damage cannot be reversed. However, it can be fixed in almost every case depending on the amount of destruction done to a house. When a pest control company, such as Active Pest Control, works to eliminate an infestation, the second most important factor besides removing the queen is implementing prevention methods to keep future termites at bay. By regularly treating your now termite-free home, you can effectively avoid further damage caused by these pesky wood-boring insects!
