We live in one of the most beautiful corners of the earth here in Turks and Caicos. It's rare to have cold temperatures. This comes with benefits such as year-round beach trips and no major need for indoor heating. However, our warm weather comes with one major disadvantage: year-round termites. Due to termites' need for warmth to remain active, termites never truly go away here on our beautiful islands. However, they do get worse during what we call swarming season which, unfortunately, is coming right up.
Typically termites will swarm during the spring. At this time, winged termites will leave their fully mature colonies in search of new areas to set up homes. This can be particularly concerning to see around your home because it is a good indicator that you already have a fully mature colony nearby, either outside or within the walls for your home. If you are seeing termite swarmers around or inside your home, your first course of action should be to call Parkway Pest Solutions.
Why Call Parkway If You See Termite Swarmers In Your Home
Termite swarmers in and around your home could mean one of two things, existing structural damage, or potential structural damage. Either is a major concern and needs to be addressed immediately. Here at Parkway, we deal with termites using a tried-and-trusted system called Sentricon® System with Always Active™. This system baits and exterminates termites from their source, fully eliminating termites colonies on or near your property, ensuring not only the extermination of any existing termites but future ones as well.
Why Prevention For Termites Is So Important
Even if you are not seeing termite swarmers around your home, prevention is still vitally important for these three reasons:
1. Termites don’t always invade in swarms; they can also invade underground into the exterior structural wood of your home.
2. Termites are a year-round threat that requires a constant defense to keep them at bay.
3. Termite invasions can be far more costly than investing in proactive protection with professional termite treatments.
You would never own your home without home insurance, so why own it without proper termite prevention? Don’t wait around for termites to wreak havoc on your investment. Get termite protection today by calling the professionals here at Parkway Pest Solutions!
