Do DIY treatments work against termites?DIY termite treatment methods and store-bought termite control products are often less than effective if you want to eradicate a termite problem on your property. While they may reduce the number of visible termites, they typically don’t treat the root cause of termite problems and leave you at risk of prolonged termite issues, including serious property destruction. Trusting the professionals at Pest Guard Exterminating is a much more reliable method of termite control.

Can you prevent termite infestations?
Following certain termite prevention tips can help make your property less hospitable to these pests and deter infestations from starting. The most effective termite prevention strategy is to reduce soil-to-wood contact around your property and put a layer of gravel between outdoor areas and the foundation of your structures; this makes it more difficult for termites to infiltrate interior areas.
You can also take steps to remove outdoor termite harborage spots like fallen branches, leaf piles, woodpiles, and overgrown grass, in addition to eliminating moist conditions in both interior and exterior areas. Speak with our knowledgeable technicians at Pest Guard Exterminating for more helpful termite prevention strategies.

What are some warning signs of termite infestation?
A termite infestation often starts unnoticed due to the small size of these pests, but when left untreated, it can easily grow out of control.
Keep the following warning signs of termites in mind:
- Shed termite wings around windows and doors may indicate these pests are moving onto your property.
- Termite frass collecting around baseboards, windowsills, and doorjambs shows termites are tunneling away in internal wooden structures.
- Hearing rustling or clicking noises coming from the walls at night mean termites are busy chewing through these areas.
- Sighting mud tubes around the interior or exterior of your property are a major warning sign that termites are on the move.
If you notice any of these signs, contact Pest Guard Exterminating right away for an inspection and assistance removing these troublesome pests.
