What are the warning signs
of termites?
- Pencil-sized diameter, or larger, mud tubes
running across bare concrete or masonry between
the soil and any wooden part of your building,
inside or outside.
- Thin, small, papery wings,
all the same size and shape, 3/8"; to 1/2 " long,
on your windowsill, counter top or floor
(especially if it is late spring and there
has been a recent rain).
- Thin "bubbled" or
distorted areas of paint on wooden surfaces,
which feel cool to the touch.
- Any wooden building
parts (especially if they are support structures)
begin to "sag" unexpectedly
Beware of Termites
More than 365,000 homes
in the U.S. are involved in fire each year.
More than 600,000 U.S. homes suffer Termite
Damage totaling over $5 Billion annually. This
more than the damage caused by all fires, most
storms and earthquakes combined. More than
2 million homes require termite treatment each
year. Homeowners insurance can help recover
losses from fires, floods, and earthquakes,
but it is almost impossible to get insurance
against termites. Finding
out your home has termites can scare most homeowners,
You typically can't see them, you can't
hear them and frequently only a trained inspector
can find signs of infestation.
Treatment
by the homeowner for the control of termites
is virtually impossible. Specialized equipment
is used and the experts at Bug Busters USA
have the necessary knowledge for effective
control. Bug Busters USA trained termite control specialist
can provide protection from termite infestation. Termites are found in
all the states that Bug Busters USA provides service. They eat wood and
may also destroy paper products such as books, cardboard boxes, furniture, and
various other items. Even buildings with steel framing and masonry walls
are targets because of the wooden doors, window frames, wooden support beams,
cabinets, or shelving. To learn more about how we can develop a termite

infestation and establish either a liquid treated
zone, a baited zone or ins some cases both
around the structure to take care of future
termite infestations. |
