Have you ever seen a mass of termites swarming? Although a pretty amazing event for the natural world, it is not such a pleasant sight if it happens at your Washington D.C., Maryland or Northern Virginia business or commercial facility. Aside from the millions of dollars in damages that termites cause every year around the country, a swarm of termites can wreak havoc on your brand.
Often confused with flying ants, a termite swarm is the result of the reproductive members of the colony (known as "alates") emerging in a short, lasted effort to find a mate and form a new colony. Appearing by the thousands, termite swarms typically occur in the first sun-drenched days of spring when the ground is damp and soft.
Although alarming, the duration of a termite swarm is relatively short lived. In many instances the swarm will run its course within an hour, or two, leaving behind a mysterious trail of evidence in the form of discarded wings. Since termites make poor fliers, outside they are often picked off by birds and other insects quickly after the swarm begins.
So, what can you do if the termites are swarming?
How can the pest control professionals help?
So, what can you do for your business or commercial property to prevent or eradicate a termite problem? If your business is in Maryland or other service areas of American Pest, contact us right away! We provide one of the most effective termite treatments, the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System, which does not use any harmful chemicals and is proven to permanently remove termite problems through regular inspections, monitoring, and maintenance on the Sentricon® System. To help prevent future termite swarms, you can be proactive about removing any tree limbs or pieces of wood near your businesses property. Also, try to redirect water near your site since that causes the perfect moist, wood conditions that termites are looking to inhabit.
