I think I have termites, should I hire an exterminator?

A termite infestation is bad news indeed for any home or commercial building with wooden construction. If not caught and dealt with early enough, serious damage is almost inevitable.

It is a big mistake for a homeowner or commercial property owner to think that once you’ve identified the problem you can simply use a few chemical sprays to solve it. Dealing with termite infestation is a job for a professional exterminator/pest control company, and here’s why.

Experience

An experienced pest control professional knows the common areas where termites may be lurking hidden both inside and outside of your home or building. They can spot the local signs of infestation which most people cannot. This expertise in termite removal enables them to fully remove the termites throughout the entire property. Not removing all of them means the infestation can appear again.

Products

Unless an infestation is completely cleared, products purchased by the homeowner can easily make the situation worse. If you try to remove termites with the wrong products which will not solve the entire problem, the pests can spread and flee to the treated areas.

Dangers

The products which are often needed to do a thorough job can be dangerous for humans and pets as well. Professional pest controllers have the right equipment, products, and experience to treat your home safely.

Identifying The Source

Experts can identify the main source of a termite infestation and remove the hive to prevent the insects returning time after time.

Choosing the Right Exterminator

Choosing the right exterminator will suggest ways of making your home and yard less attractive for new colonies. They will also identify possible problems in neighboring properties.

Types of Termites

There are several types of termites across the states, however, in NJ we have subterranean termites. Because each type requires a different handling method it is essential for their removal to be done the right way. In NJ it is a must to hire an experienced professional pest control company who has the knowledge and experience to deal with subterranean termites.

Cost Effective

Professional pest control is much more cost effective in the long run, compared to the constant losing battle of dealing with termites yourself.

Live and let live is a great philosophy for most parts of life, but termites aren’t house guests you should welcome and tolerate. If you suspect you have a termite infestation, getting fast professional help could save you money and long-term heartache.
