3. Get them where they hide. Our team has the equipment to drill and bore holes where needed to reach a termite infestation at the root of where they are. As professionals we are trained to recognize the patterns of a termite infestation and know where to spray to eliminate it.

4. Save Money. Termites can be extremely difficult to exterminate when using some chemicals or pesticides. Before buying expensive and potentially harmful chemicals that can injure your health; the professionals at Terminex Pest Control know the safest, most efficient method to eliminate termites that seem to always return.

5. Ensure the safety of your home or office building. Termites will burrow, gnaw, and chew through the wood that makes up to the structure of your home or office. This is a potentially dangerous situation that can result in injury to yourself or your family or employees. Getting rid of termites at the earliest possible sign is the best way to safeguard your investment and the safety of the occupants of your building.

Ants:

• have a defined narrow, constricted waist
• have antennae that are bent or “elbowed.”
• have four wings, with the back, hind wings shorter than its front, fore wings
• Ant workers are reddish or dark coloured  and are frequently seen in the open foraging for food
• Ants merely dig into the wood to excavate their nests; they do not eat the wood
• The tunnels and galleries of the carpenter ants will be very smooth and finished
• Ants seek out moist and damaged wood in which to excavate their nests

Termites:

• have no “waist,” rather its body is more rectangular without any constriction.
• have straight, beaded antennae
• have four wings that are of equal size and shape. Its wings are also longer than its body
• Termite workers are transparent, light or creamy white in color and avoid light. So they are not often seen unless their nest is disturbed
• Termites eat the wood in which they nest
• Termite galleries are rough and ragged, as they are filled with layers of soil and mud
• Termites will chew right into sound wood
• A mud tube indicates the definite presence or previous presence of termites. These are tubes built on the outside of walls or between the soil and wood through which the termites travel
