Termites Are Looking For The Exits

April 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Termites are blind and shun the light preferring total darkness and seclusion in which to work and feed. Termites cause over 5 billion dollars worth of damage to homes and businesses every year yet most of their activity goes unseen.

In the spring of the year many homeowners will experience the one time that swarmer termites emerge from the darkness as they fill the living rooms across America and frantic calls are made to any pest control company that answers first. There were no signs that they were coming or was there? How could thousands of termites emerge from your wall with no obvious entry point ?

Others who are not present to witness the spectacle arrive home after a hard days work only to find tens of thousands of wings strewn about. http://pestcemetery.com/what-are-these-wings-on-my-windowsill/ Left to consider what this means, sadly many will do nothing at all and the termites live to feed another day.

The answer is what may keep you from making a hasty decision and perhaps spending far to much on a remedy in the heat of panic. Knowing what to look for and the tell tale signs that are only obvious after the masses have disappeared is key.

"It's time to start looking for the exits" http://pestcemetery.com/time-start-exits/ is an informative article that will arm you with the knowledge of what to be looking for at this critical time of year. If you have signs or symptoms you can catch them early before they swarm and keep the buying advantage in your corner.
