Signs You May Have a Termite Problem

Know the Warning Signs

Termites can be difficult to notice until damage has already developed. Knowing what to look for can help you identify a potential problem sooner.

Mud Tubes

Small mud tunnels along your foundation, walls, or crawl space can be a sign of subterranean termite activity.

Hollow-Sounding Wood

Wood that sounds hollow or unusually thin when tapped may indicate termite damage beneath the surface.

Swarmers

Winged termites appearing around windows, doors, lights, or other areas of your property can be a sign of an established colony nearby.

Frass

Small piles of wood-colored material around your property can sometimes indicate termite activity.

Blistering or Bubbling Surfaces

Paint or wood surfaces that appear blistered, bubbling, or damaged may be associated with termite activity or other moisture-related issues.

If you notice any of these signs, contact Salty Air Pest Control for a professional termite inspection.

How We Treat Termites

Trelona Bait Station Solutions

Salty Air Pest Control uses Trelona bait stations as part of its termite control approach where appropriate for the property and treatment plan.

Trelona bait stations are designed to target termite colonies through a baiting system. Worker termites interact with the bait and carry it back to the colony, allowing the treatment to work through the termite population rather than simply addressing the termites that are immediately visible.

Our team will assess your property and determine whether a Trelona bait station system is an appropriate option for your termite concerns.

Our Termite Treatment Process

A Straightforward Approach to Termite Protection

01 — Inspect

We begin with a detailed inspection of your property to look for signs of termite activity, potential entry points, conducive conditions, and areas that may require attention.

02 — Treat

Based on our inspection, we recommend an appropriate termite treatment plan. Where suitable, Trelona bait stations can be installed as part of the property’s termite control strategy.

03 — Monitor

Termite control doesn’t necessarily end with the initial treatment. Where ongoing monitoring is recommended, we can inspect and service the treatment system to help maintain continued protection.

Why Professional Termite Control Matters

Don’t Wait Until the Damage Is Visible

Termite activity can continue unnoticed for an extended period. By the time visible damage appears, termites may have already affected parts of the property.

Professional inspection and treatment can help identify potential termite activity earlier and provide a clear plan for addressing the problem.

Termite Prevention Tips

Help Make Your Property Less Attractive to Termites

Professional termite control is important, but property owners can also take practical steps to reduce conditions that may attract termite activity.

• Keep water and excessive moisture away from your foundation.
• Keep gutters and downspouts clear and direct water away from the property.
• Avoid allowing soil or wood to remain in direct contact with structural wood.
• Remove dead trees, stumps, roots, and unnecessary wood debris from around your property.
• Keep crawl spaces properly ventilated and address excessive moisture.
• Inspect areas around your foundation regularly for mud tubes or other signs of termite activity.
