Commercial Termite Treatment Services In South Florida
There is one insect that truly terrifies property owners in South Florida—The Subterranean termite. It’s silent, often invisible to the untrained eye, and costs property owners billions of dollars in treatment and repair costs each year. Protect yourself from this silent threat with commercial termite treatment services from South Florida’s experts, Nozzle Nolen.
What if I Already Have Commercial Termite Treatment Coverage?
If you’re thinking of an annual inspection that someone performs on your property, then you’re only partially covered for a couple of reasons:
- It is impossible to adequately treat a commercial property for termites and provide preventative care just once a year.
- Commercial pest control prices and termite bonds vary significantly for several reasons. If you have an annual termite bond, you need to check what is included in the policy. If you have to pay for any repairs yourself, you face thousands of dollars in contractor bills. And that is if the company promises to deal with the infestation itself.
How Do I Know if I Have a Problem?
There are two major kinds of termites—Drywood and Subterranean. Both love to eat the wood in and around your commercial property. However, their signs are a bit different. Here are the top signs you are in need of commercial termite treatment services:
- Visible Swarmers - Termites get ready to move on to their next colony each spring, from March to May. You’ll see swarming, flying insects that are attracted to light. If you see discarded wings during or soon after the season, they’ve found a home.
- Frass, Mud Tubes, and Kick-Out Holes - Excrement comes at your detriment. Termite droppings are called frass, and they handle them two different ways. Drywood termites use small "kick-out" holes the size of a ballpoint pen tip and eject small ball-bearing-sized frass that will collect on the floor. The more common subterranean termites will use their waste to create tubes (made from wood, soil, and termite saliva) to protect themselves as they move between their underground colony and their above-ground food source. The picture above shows some examples of those tubes.
- Damaged Wood - If you're at this stage, you definitely need help. If there is cracked or bubbling paint, hollow-sounding walls, or any other signs of damage, it means that not only are termites on your property, but they have already started to impact your bottom line.
