Every year, billions of dollars of damage are caused by ravenous termites who have taken up residence in your home or business. The worst part is, often damage goes unnoticed because they typically eat the wood from the inside, rather than the outside surfaces you usually see. The risk of termite damage is high in America so let our pest control experts in Massachusetts take care of the problem immediately.

Here at Trap Tech, we recommend carrying out an inspection every two or three years. If left longer, you run the risk of never noticing a termite infestation and the results can be disastrous. They can hide behind walls, insulation, and flooring, and before you know it, your building damages have run into the hundreds of thousands. The time to call Trap Tech is now. Let us visit your home or business and provide treatment that can save you a substantial amount of money.

Our approach to termite eradication is simple. We ensure your children and pets are safe, and we take all precautions necessary. What’s more, our qualified technicians operate with an environmentally friendly approach, giving you peace of mind that the only things we are eradicating are those pesky termites.

Termites are a common problem throughout the US, but there are a few things you can be doing to reduce the risk of them calling your home theirs. Firstly, do a walk-around the outside of your house. Are there any cracks in masonry or concrete? Are your gutters and downspouts in good condition? Any crack, split, or imperfection in your home’s exterior is an invitation for a termite to move in.

What’s more, keeping your plumbing in good condition is also a good idea, as is keeping all outdoors wood free of moisture. If you’ve got any old wood lying around your section, old tree stumps, roots, or general timber, get rid of it. Termites see this as free food.

Most importantly, keep your home’s exterior wholly secure and up-to-date with maintenance. Clear vents of shrubs and woody plants, and ensure you contact pest control experts in Massachusetts to carry out an inspection every two or three years.

Unfortunately, by the time you know your home has a termite problem, a significant amount of damage has already been done. That is why here at Trap Tech, we really can’t stress enough the importance of regular inspections. As termites eat wood from the inside out, your siding can look pristine but is eaten to the core from the other side.

The most common termites you may find in your home are drywood and dampwood termites – both are equally as damaging as each other. You can tell they’ve taken up residence in your home when you see swarms of termites in warm weather at around dusk. You may also notice little holes and tunnels around the outside of your house. If these tunnels lead to a big, delicious piece of wood attached to your home, get on the phone and call for pest control services immediately.

Another tell-tale sign is shavings. Termites are messy eaters, and they leave wood shavings around the foundation of your home, and potentially in your basement space. Always be on the lookout for odd wood shavings you believe are related to a termite infestation.
