If you are noticing sticking windows or doors, wood damage, mud tubes, or other signs (such as droppings or discarded wings) of a termite infestation in your home, it's important to act swiftly. Termites can cause devastating damage to our homes if left unchecked, especially in the Florida climate. Did you know that, just like other pests, termites thrive in areas of high humidity? Panama City's humidity and proximity to the water heightens your chances of experiencing an infestation; many types of termite prefer water-damaged wood, so it's important to inspect your home regularly, especially after a large storm. In addition, keep your plumbing and drainage systems working correctly. Repair any damage quickly and make sure that your HVAC system is working effectively to eradicate excessive moisture inside your home. Taking these actions can reduce your risk of a termite infestation.
Unfortunately, sometimes even the most stringent measures fail and termites move in. It is in these situations that swift action can save you time, stress, and money. If you do detect signs of an infestation, don't delay. Contact the termite control team at SWAT Pest Control right away to schedule a consultation. We will assess the problem and make a comprehensive plan to thoroughly address your problem.
