A fall home-maintenance check is a useful reminder to review termite concerns in Waynesville & St. Robert, MO. If you notice possible activity, contact us when you find it rather than waiting for a particular season.
What should you look for?
Mud tubes, damaged wood or a swarm of winged insects deserve professional identification. Termite activity can be concealed; the absence of visible insects does not establish that a home is clear.
Use your maintenance checklist
Repair leaks, maintain drainage and keep firewood away from the house. These steps help reduce conditions favorable to termites. They do not replace an assessment or treatment when needed. Read the EPA's termite prevention guidance.
What to discuss before an inspection
Tell us about previous termite treatment, suspected damage, renovations and areas that may be difficult to access. Ask which areas the inspection covers and what limitations apply. An inspection evaluates conditions at the time of the visit; it is not a promise that future activity or concealed damage cannot occur.
If treatment is recommended, review the proposed work, price, follow-up and any written warranty terms before choosing a service. MU Extension's subterranean termite guide explains what to ask a termite service provider.
