The Bug Man Says - Termite and Ant Awareness

BOHEMIA, N.Y. - March 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Mr. Steve Free, Owner of The Bug Stops Here, Inc. says knowing the difference between termites and ants is key.

The most common mistake that a homeowner makes is identifying a termite as a flying ant. See the picture to tell the difference.

If you are unsure of what kind of infestation you are having, you can give our office a call at 631-563-3900 or 516-665-0706.

Mr. Free also states TERMITES NEST WHERE THEIR FOOD SOURCE IS

Between the wood of your home and the plumbing (termites need water every 24 hours), this makes for a full course meal courtesy of your home.  You don't have to let them take over!  Give us a call today and set up a free estimate.  We'll come in, do an inspection and go from there.

CARPENTER ANTS

Like Termites, Carpenter Ants also destroy the wood of your home.  They borough through the wood so that they can nest.  Between Termites and Carpenter Ants, they cause billions of dollars in damage each year.

Mr. Free states there are two kinds of homes on Long Island, Those that have termites and those that will get them.
