Keep Your Home Safe With Termite Control

Most pests are annoying. Some are dangerous. Termites, however, are the most costly. Termites cost property owners over $5 billion each year in the United States. Worst of all, most people are unaware of the damage until it's too late.

Don't let termites eat away at your home's integrity or value. Let Pest-A-Rest Exterminating identify your termites and eliminate them for you. It's not just about elimination. We also go the extra step of making sure your home stays safe from termites moving forward.

This is possible because we use proven techniques at Pest-A-Rest Exterminating. Termites live in the soil, and once they find a wood source, they'll move right in. They eat wood, paper, and other cellulose substances. Once your home is clear of termites, you can trust us for ongoing control so your home or business is always safe.

Most people don't think about termites unless they are buying or selling a home. Getting a wood-destroying insect report is a common part of any real estate transaction. Not only are we certified to create such a report, but we've also partnered with Strictly Business Home Inspections to streamline the paperwork for your mortgage approval.

We'll complete our inspection at the same time as your home inspection! It's a fast, convenient, and easy way to make sure your home is termite-free before you buy.

Even if you've lived in your home for a while, checking for termites is recommended. Termites can move throughout a neighborhood, and most of the damage happens where you can't see. Call us today to learn more about our termite control services. We offer free estimates over the phone or onsite, and we have discounts for seniors and military personnel!

What You Need to Know About Termites

Termites may be damaging pests, but their presence can be hard to detect at first. Usually, they're living behind wood and other materials behind your walls. They'll eat your home from the inside out, and the damage may not be visible until it's already too late.

Still, there are signs to watch for. You may see brief termite swarms in the spring. Live insects may also be visible from time to time. They're soft-bodied and light in color, and they're no bigger than a grain of rice. They are rarely visible in open areas. Swarming termites may be confused with flying ants, but the wings on termites are equal in length.

Another sign of termites is a mud tube. These tubes serve as tunnels to allow termites to move from the ground into your home. You may see them on the foundation, on your plumbing, or inside your walls, and they are about the diameter of a pencil.

Damaged wood is another telltale sign of termite problems. During termite inspections, we often tap the wood to see if it sounds hollow. Damaged wood may give way and reveal a honeycomb pattern that is indicative of termites.

Termites are always active, which means your home is always at risk. Swarms happen most often in the spring, but termites will feed on your wood all day, every day.
