Termite Control In Cookeville & Crossville, TN

Protect your home from costly damage with our termite control services.

Keeping termites out of your home is one of the most vital – and most difficult – aspects of pest control. If you don't protect your home properly, termites can invade it and spend months, potentially even years, inside its walls. There, they will slowly wreak havoc on your home's internal structure, potentially leaving it with thousands of dollars of structural damage. This is why termites sit firmly in the midst of hurricanes and tornadoes in terms of the damage costs they inflict. On average, they cost homeowners in the United States over five billion dollars a year.

This is all thanks to the termite diet. These insects eat the wood they infest. You wouldn't think a single tiny termite could do all that much damage, but when it is hundreds of thousands of them over long periods of time, they can plow through things like wall studs, floor joists, and support beams with ease. This is why termite control is not something you can neglect.

Why Termites Invade Your Home

As we said above, termites eat wood. In the forest, this is a very good thing because they help speed up decay in dead trees and plants, injecting vital nutrients back into the soil. However, your house is also made of dead wood, meaning termites can chow down on it just as easily as they can wood in the forest.

Typically, you wind up with a termite infestation for one of a couple of reasons. One of the most common reasons you could end up with termites is wood-to-ground contact. This means wood of some kind is touching both your house and the ground. Common examples would be tree branches touching your roof or mulch pressed up against your foundation.

Moisture is another common reason homeowners wind up with a termite problem. Termites are attracted to moisture, as most termite species need it inside their colonies. This means if you have water-damaged or rotting wood in your home, you are more likely to get termites. Easy access can also lead to termite infestation. If you have cracks in your foundation or exposed, untreated wood around your home, this is like rolling out the red carpet for termites.

Trust Midstate Termite & Pest Control For All Your Termite Needs

Middle Tennessee has a climate ripe for termites. They thrive in warm, moist conditions, and the Southeast has those in spades. This means you have to take measures to prevent termites and be vigilant for the signs of termites all year long. The earlier you detect a termite infestation, the easier and more affordable it will be to deal with it. Early detection also helps prevent the kind of severe damage caused by termites that go unchecked for years at a time.

To detect and treat termite infestations as soon as possible, you will need to look out for the following early signs:

  • Hollow-sounding walls
  • Pinholes in drywall
  • Scratching sounds within the walls 
  • Mud tubes around your foundation
  • Frass (termite droppings that resemble sawdust)
  • Piles of long, white wings (signs of termite swarms)

If you start seeing these signs, it is vital to act fast. You will want to eradicate infestations at this stage, before you start seeing signs of significant damage, such as sagging ceilings or buckling floorboards.

Once you see signs like this, it is highly likely that severe damage is already done. The good news is if you look out for earlier signs, like the ones listed above, this can go a long way towards helping us catch and control your termite infestation as early as possible. So don't wait. Call Midstate Termite & Pest Control as soon as you suspect a termite issue.
