Termite Inspections

If you have spotted golden brown tubes on the stem wall, termite wings, or even active termites in or near your home, chances are you have a termite infestation. Determining the full scope of a termite infestation can be difficult, as it’s often the case that the termites have been active for quite a while before being discovered. Termites are extremely elusive creatures, and if you do not have the expertise and innovative equipment to track their presence, you could find yourself surprised by a full infestation that will cost you a pretty penny to treat. Ruby’s Pest Control has extensive experience with termites. We have all of the newest technology and resources available for inspecting and eliminating termite infestations. 

How often does my home need termite inspections?

Whether you live in a new building or an old house, all property owners should sign up for regular termite inspections. Even if you are living in a brand new home, you could still be susceptible to termites. Most home owners have an annual inspection on their home. Older homes do tend to be more at risk, making it essential to not only inspect your home yourself on a regular basis but also get a professional’s opinion every single year. Because termites can go unnoticed for such a long time, having your property inspected regularly can let you rest assured that you don’t have an infestation growing right

Termite Treatments

If a reliable treatment is administered properly, termites can almost always be eliminated effectively. At Ruby’s Pest Control, we offer the highly effective and environmentally responsible Termidor termite treatment. These products are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), meeting the strict requirements of the Reduced Risk Pesticide Initiative.

Termidor Works:

Studies have shown that few treatments are as effective as Termidor in eliminating 100% of the termites in three months or less:

1. Whenever a termite digest or touches Termidor, it becomes a carrier, transferring Termidor to other termites it contacts.
2. These Termites will then become secondary carriers, behaving normal while they in turn transfer Termidor to the other termites in the colony. 
3. This unique, spiraling process is called the “transfer effect,” and it helps deliver devastating results to the termite colony. 

At Ruby’s Pest Control we are dedicated to providing only the pest solutions for your termite treatment. This is why we prefer to only use Termidor. With this service your home is protect from a termite infestation. Call Ruben owner and operator for a comprehensive inspection on your home. 

You would never be able to hear it, but at this very moment, thousands of termites could be eating away through your home, unseen and unknown. Termites are known as “silent destroyers” because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper undetected. Unfortunately, it can be extremely difficult to detect termites early unless you invest in annual inspections by a professional pest control company. Nevertheless, it’s important to know the common signs of termites in your property.

Identifying Termites Early

Identifying the first signs of termite damage

If you spot signs of termite damage without actively searching for it, you very likely have a serious infestation. Because termites cause structural damage, it can be difficult to spot until the infestation is quite severe. It’s always best to actively keep an eye out for the following early signs of termite damage:

1. Mud tubes on the exterior of the home 
2. Little pin holes in the paint ( this is air holes) 
3. Mud tubes hanging from the ceiling
4. See mounds of saw dust looking grains on the floor or window sill
