Despite the sandy conditions on Cape Cod, this area of Massachusetts is at a high risk for termite damage. Each year, termites cause thousands, if not millions, of dollars in damage to Cape Cod homes. It's very important to keep your eye out for early warning signs that will let you know if it's time for a termite exterminator to come in and take a look.
Cape Cod termite control begins by early detection. In the spring, it is possible for termite swarmers to appear. These are the reproductive stage of termites which indicate a deeper problem.
Since termites are subterranean, you usually won't be able to see them at work. This is why it is critical to contact a Cape Cod termite control expert at the first sign of a swarm.
Unfortunately, not everyone sees a Cape Cod termite swarm, which tips them off to a problem. For your own peace of mind, you may want to consider having a Cape Cod termite exterminator like Burgess Pest Management perform a free inspection. Our team is training to look for termite damage in accessible areas such as the basement sill, or any mud tubes along foundation walls - both inside and out.
