Termites are the biggest nightmare to any homeowner mostly due to the amount of destruction they cause. These notorious and forever-hungry pests might appear small and harmless but they cause significant damage to your house structure and goods. They are attracted to moist and damp areas with ample amount of food sources, making your house the perfect place to inhabit.

While these are the main reasons for pest infestations, there are other mistakes that homeowners unknowingly make which lead to an active infestation or a bigger invasion.

It is essential that you be aware of these common mistakes to avoid making them yourself and to keep your house and surrounding area free of these insects.

Here are a Few Common Termite Control Mistakes That Homeowners Make That You Should Avoid 

  • Undermining the Seriousness of a Termite Invasion:

Often, homeowners tend to give less importance to a termite invasion because these tiny pests are always hidden away and seem harmless as they pose no physical harm to humans or pets. However, what homeowners fail to remember at that moment is that they are a huge threat to your wooden furniture and structure of your house.

A termite invasion causes a lot of material damage resulting in higher repair costs and it also decreases the selling value of your house. Not only would your house be unfitted for living in but it would also have no value if you wish to sell it in the future. Therefore, it is important for you to take an insect infestation seriously.

  • Rejecting Preventative Steps:

Prevention is key if you wish to keep your property pest-free. Not adopting the right preventative measures would lead to an active invasion and if you already controlled an active infestation, the chances of them coming back are higher if you do not have good preventative measures in place.

Therefore, prevention steps would help you save on your time, effort, peace of mind, and the costs of a future infestation control treatment. Ensure that if you have baiting systems set up on your property that an expert would visit your property to check on them frequently.

  • Overlooking the Signs of Destruction:

The initial signs of a termite invasion are barely noticeable. Termites are tiny insects that hide themselves inside wooden furniture and structures and munch on them from the inside out. Therefore, it would require an expert with the right skills and experience to notice any insect activity.

  • Waiting Before Getting Professional Help:

Once you have discovered an insect infestation, it is essential that you call for professional help as soon as possible because the longer you wait, the more damage they would cause leading to higher damage repair costs.

  • Not Getting a Professional Insect Inspection:

Often homeowners choose to try and control their property termite infestation on their own because they have a low budget.

However, the truth is that over-the-counter treatments and DIY treatments are not as effective as professional treatment. You might try these options but its low efficiency might result in them returning which by then you would finally decide to opt for professional help.

  • Picking the Wrong Control Company:

Another mistake homeowners make is the mistake of choosing the wrong pest control company either due to a low budget or due to lack of good research. It is essential that you thoroughly research your options before deciding on a pest control company and choose one that is reliable and known for its efficiency.

  • Only Treating Half the Property:

Not necessarily do they only infest a certain area of your property. If there is timber or any wooden item in any other part of your house, it is likely that they have infested it too. When you decide to get a house treatment, you should get your entire property treated thoroughly.

  • Forgetting to Check on the Status of Your Insect Infestation Regularly:

Even though it might be a slow process and you might not see results as soon as possible; it is important to check on the status of the infestation.

  • Stacking Timber or Untreated Wooden Material Around the House:

Since they are attracted to timber and wooden items, it is only so long before you start noticing signs of damage on your wooden items. Therefore, avoid stacking firewood or timber around your property and ensure your wooden furniture is protected.

  • Utilities Repairs:

When getting repairs done, often homeowners forget to check if any of those repairs have affected the liquid barriers of their house, leading to dampness and moist areas. As termites prefer moist locations, their property soon becomes inhabited by these tiny pests.

Avoid These Common Insect Control Mistakes:

There are various mistakes that homeowners unknowingly make which leads to a bigger termite infestation. However, no matter how big the infestation might be, there is still hope! With the right professional help and guidance, a termite infestation can be eliminated. Professional termite control treatment is a long process as it would take time to effectively eliminate the colony.

However, it is the most effective way to get rid of termites and if you adopt the right preventative measures and follow them whole heartedly, your property would be pest-free for a very long time.
