Spring Pest Defense: The Termites are Swarming


You’ve heard the expression, “The best defense is a good offense.” This expression is especially true for termite control this spring in Nashville.

Termite Swarm & Infestation Season (March-May)
Groups of termites with wings are called “swarmers”. Warmer temperatures and rainfall in the spring will spur a termite swarm to leave their homes and start new colonies. While swarmers themselves don’t eat wood, they do search for places to drop their wings, mate and start new colonies - and their presence is a good sign that an infestation is present.

If you find evidence of termite wings or swarmers around your home, you should call a professional termite exterminator immediately, such as Marigold Pest Services of Nashville. Termite extermination requires an understanding of building construction and a knowledge of where termites may enter your home and damaged areas. Treating these areas typically requires special equipment and professional grade termite treatment.

Termite Control Requires a Good Offense

Now, consider the saying about putting up a good offense. Playing “Russian roulette” with your home may not be the smartest tactic. The cost of termite damage can lead into the thousands, while termite control through termite prevention methods can save you the headaches, time and expense of costly structural damage.

Most pest control services like Marigold Pest Services of Nashville offer thorough and well-designed forms of termite control that will best suits the needs of your home or business.
