Early detection and strategic intervention are key in the battle against termites. These invasive pests threaten buildings and can lead to significant financial loss. Understanding termite behavior, recognizing the signs of infestation, and selecting the proper control methods are essential for professionals in safeguarding properties.
Identifying Termite Threats
Before taking action, it's important to identify termites accurately. Unlike ants, termites have straight antennae and uniform waists, with wings of equal length. Some signs of their presence include visible mud tubes, discarded wings near entry points, and wood that sounds hollow upon inspection.
