While they may be small, termites are one of the most dangerous pests in North Carolina for homeowners and businesses alike. They’re invasive, resilient, and destructive as they hide away and gradually feast on the foundation of your property. Most of their work is done in the dark, meaning they can cause significant damage before you discover their presence.

If you find signs of a termite infestation in your home or workplace, you must act quickly. Our team at Clegg’s Pest Control is ready to help with expert commercial termite control and residential termite control services in North Carolina. Our treatments are proven to be effective in resolving issues with termites in a timely and thorough manner, helping to restore your peace of mind as soon as possible.

 

Identifying Termites

Identifying termites is all about looking for a few key characteristics. First, they tend to measure between 1/4 inch and half an inch long unless they’re a larger king or queen termite. They have soft, winged bodies that typically range between white and brown in color, and they have distinctive straight antennae at the tip of their head. Notably, termites’ body segments are connected, as there is no separation between the head and the tail region.

 

Signs of a Termite Infestation

Termites are sneaky creatures that like to hide away in private. They mostly live inside your walls, floors, bathroom, and wooden furniture—all places you don’t inspect regularly. This means that often, they’ve already caused irreversible damage by the time you discover their presence.

Signs of a termite infestation include:

  • Discarded wings
  • Frass (droppings)
  • Mud tubes near entrances
  • Weak spots in wood flooring
  • Peeling paint or drooping drywall
  • Clicking, tapping, or gnawing noises

 

Termite Prevention and Treatments

It can be hard to figure out how to prevent termite infestations, as they’re one of the peskiest pests to deal with. You can minimize your risk by conducting consistent inspections for signs of termites, such as mud tubes, discarded wings, and destroyed wood. You should also look around the exterior of your home and clear away any brush, wood, or other vegetation that can help termites get inside.

Some DIY methods exist for termite control, but no store-bought traps or homemade remedies can properly eliminate them for good. Meanwhile, Clegg’s offers trusted termite control treatments in North Carolina that are tested and tailored to effectively fight back. We also offer comprehensive preventive treatment plans that can help protect your home from a variety of pests in the future.
