Things You Should and Shouldn’t Do for Termite Control

Termites can cause serious damage to your home or business. In severe cases, your building or residence could become unsafe due to structural problems, so it’s important to prevent this from occurring. Whether you need residential or commercial termite control services in Utah, keep the following in mind for things you should and shouldn’t do when dealing with these pests.

Do Schedule Regular Termite Inspections

You don’t need to wait until your business or home has a termite problem to get pest control services. Scheduling regular inspections help ensure that any signs of termite infestations are caught early. You should have pest control technicians do at least a yearly inspection in your home or business to check for these pests. Otherwise, termites can keep eating away at the wood in your building, making it weaker over time.

Don’t Misuse Termite Pesticide Products

Termite pesticide products that you can buy on the market must be used carefully. Certain pesticide products for termite problems are intended for outdoor use only. These products are often used for eliminating a termite colony in the ground on residential and commercial properties. Using these kinds of pesticides indoors is highly dangerous. When you rely on professional termite pest control services Utah, you don’t have to worry about these risks. Pest control technicians use termite control products safely and properly.

Do Keep Your Lawn or Yard Maintained

Termites are drawn to wood sources, since they feed on the cellulose inside them. This can lead to infestations in any of the following:

  • Firewood piles
  • Tree stumps
  • Diseased or dead trees
  • Wood patios and decks

You can lower the risk of having termites on your residential or commercial property by storing wood away from buildings, removing stumps and dead or dying trees, and keeping your grass short. Since termites are also drawn to moisture, make sure that your property does not have drainage issues or sources of standing water.

Don’t Handle a Termite Infestation Yourself

Dealing with a termite problem on your own might seem like a way to save money, but it can end up costing you more in the long run. If you don’t successfully get rid of the colony, you’ll continue to have termite problems that gradually get worse. This involves knowing how to locate the colony and using the right termite control methods.

Termite extermination services done by professionals ensure that your termite problem is thoroughly and properly handled. This prevents termites from being able to do serious damage to your residential or commercial building. Pest control technicians can also inspect your property to make sure that the termite control methods being used are working effectively.

Dependable Extermination and Pest Control Services in Utah

If you see any signs of a termite problem in your home or business, contact Legacy Pest Control. Our technicians can do a thorough inspection of your building to find out where these pests are and use effective termite control to eliminate them. Having this done sooner rather than later helps lower the risk of severe termite damage to your residential or commercial building.

First time customer here - after spotting a couple more black widows and wasps than we were comfortable with, I gave Legacy a call. They responded within the day and had a team out within a week. Services were on time and as promised. Thanks for the great experience!

Called to set up an appointment it was after they left for the day. They called me back next day and was able to come fit me in the following day for a foundation spray. Always quick and easy to get in and they do a fantastic job. Always so friendly. Love doing business with them.

Unfortunately we had some problem resolving a customer service issue at first. However, they did all they could to resolve my concerns and in the end they provided me a complimentary service.
