What You Need to Know About Termites (And What To Do About Them)

One word that strikes fear into the heart of homeowners is termites. Everyone understands that they are bad news, but may not realize the extent of the damage they can cause. Good Life Pest Solutions provides a termite monitoring service so that you don’t have to wonder if you have them, or what unseen destruction they may be causing in your home. Here are some important facts that you need to know about termites.

Damage Caused by Termites

Termites can damage the wooden structure of your house. They can cause damage inside the walls of your home, as well as areas around windows and doors. They can even hurt wooden furniture inside your house. Over half a million homes in the United States are damaged by termites each year, resulting in billions of dollars spent to control and repair that damage.

Signs of Termites in Your Home

Be aware of these signs that you may have a termite infestation:

• Buckling floor, ceilings, and walls
• Hollow-sounding wood
• Swollen floors and ceilings
• Painted walls that are bubbling or peeling
• The appearance of water damage
• Tiny holes in drywall

At Good Life Pest Solutions, we use termite bait stations strategically placed around your home or business in order to achieve complete termite monitoring of your specific location.
