YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM – If you’re seeing moisture damaged wood with sawdust in the area. Along with the need to fix the moisture leak – carpenter ants???
Termites
Close to 30 years in this business we have heard all kinds of statements from homeowners, some funny, some strange and certainly some that border on tragic. But common statements like “I saw that but I didn’t know what it was” or “I smelled something but couldn’t figure out where it was coming from” or one of our favorites “holes kept appearing in my walls and I’ve been filling them with toothpaste”. Statements like these are uttered after homeowners find out that there home is being damaged by termites or serious moisture problems. Following is a list of common clues that should help you recognize that –
Bed Bugs
Bedbugs...even though you may never have had them, you have heard about them and the thought of having them makes you cringe. They have been aggravating homeowners since ancient times and even though they were just about eradicated in the developed world by the 1950s, a problem has occurred.
Fleas
Cockroaches
YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM – You notice smells in your home and you can’t identify them – rodent infestation, feral cats, high concentration of roaches???
Bees
YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM – You’re seeing round holes about the size of the end of your finger along the trim and under the porch railings or any unpainted wood, usually associated with sawdust – carpenter bees??? Sometimes holes will be opened and elongated – Wood peckers going for baby bees????
Wasps
Mosquitoes
Hampton Roads Termite and Pest Control Inc., under department Manager Shannon Brown, has become a leader in environmentally friendly, safe pest control services. Our pest control operators/inspectors are Virginia certified/registered and keep up to date on the latest new technology available and advanced integrated pest management practices. Our pest control department is also tasked with yearly warranty inspections and are knowledgeable in discovering existing or possible problems such as moisture, seasonal high humidity or other circumstances that may cost our customers money in the future. They are always looking for new ways to serve you, for example, our newly added mosquito control services.
Beetles
Lastly, powder post beetles are much smaller than the old house wood borer and leave much smaller exit holes with frass. They are usually confined in crawl spaces or basements (not always) and can do extensive damage.
Termite and Pest Control Inc. offers free preliminary inspections with no obligations to your buyers or sellers. Often times these inspections not only uncover problems with wood destroying insects and moisture but also notice unrelated problems, such as: falling insulation, damaged ductwork and unwanted inhabitants (rodents, roaches, cats, possums, raccoons..etc.).
