How do you know if you have termites?

Reduce your risk of termites

There are two types of homes: those that have termites and those that will eventually have termites. Whether you live in the North or South or have a new or old home, your home is a target for termites.

Spectracide Terminate products kill wood-destroying insects, with options for detection, outdoor treatment and indoor crack and crevice control. Along with a professional inspection to determine the extent of an active infestation, these products offer effective, do-it-yourself options for controlling wood-destroying insects.

Subterranean termites are found in 49 of the 50 states and Puerto Rico (everywhere but Alaska). If termites have invaded your home, you may see some of these warning signs:

Because termites eat wood from the inside out, it might be difficult to determine the extent of an active infestation. If you suspect termites, get a professional inspection and treat the area where termites are present.

Check for leaky water spigots or sprinklers, and ensure that water flows away from your home.

Pay attention to areas where wood contacts soil directly, including fences, stairs, trellises, wood piles, stumps, dead bushes or other wood debris.

When building a new home, check with your contractor for soil pre-treatments that can be applied by a professional pest control operator.

Certified inspectors can point out termite-critical areas around your home and may recommend other treatments, such as mechanical alteration or foundation treatment.
