Termite Management

If you’ve noticed mysterious mud tubes around your home or unexpected wood damage, you might be facing a termite invasion. These tiny destroyers can compromise your property’s structural integrity without leaving immediate signs of damage. At Seva Facility Pest Control, we specialize in effective termite management to safeguard your home from these relentless pests.

Why Termites Are a Serious Threat

Termites are not just insects; they’re silent, destructive forces that can wreak havoc on your property. Here’s why they’re a significant concern:

• Hidden Damage: Termites work behind the scenes, feeding on cellulose in wood and paper, which can lead to severe structural damage before you even notice.
• Large Colonies: Subterranean termite colonies can house up to 2 million termites, making them incredibly challenging to control without professional intervention.
• Mud Tubes: They build mud tubes to protect themselves and gain access to food sources, often hiding their presence until significant damage has occurred.

Understanding Termite Behavior

Termites are divided into three main roles within their colonies:

1. Workers: These cream-colored termites, about 1/8 to 3/8 inch long, are responsible for feeding the colony and causing the most visible damage.
2. Soldiers: Slightly larger with powerful mandibles and brown heads, soldiers protect the colony from predators.
3. Reproductives: These termites are around one inch long and swarm in the spring to establish new colonies.

Termites need soil contact to survive and can tunnel through concrete, making them particularly challenging to control.
