Anne Arundel County Termite FAQS

Why worry about termites?

Regardless of construction, location or age all homes can be attacked by termites. Termites cause $5 billion worth of damage each year in the U.S. alone and MOST of the damage is not covered by your homeowners insurance.

Why are termite infestations often discovered during March — May?

Winged termites or swarmers emerging indoors are a sure sign that the building is infested.

Triggered by warmer spring temperatures and rainfall, the winged termites emerge from the colony and fly into the air, shed their wings, pair off with a mate, and attempt to begin new colonies in the soil. Few swarmers emerging outdoors survive to start new colonies and are incapable of eating wood, seldom survive, and are best removed with a vacuum. They do, however, indicate that an infestation is present.  

How will I know if my home is infested with termites?

People often confuse winged termites with ants, which often swarm at the same time of year. Termites have straight antennae, uniform waist and wings of equal size. (Ants have elbowed antennae, constricted waists and forewings that are longer than the hind wings.)

The swarmers are attracted to light and are often seen around windows and doors. Sometimes swarmers can be seen on tree stumps, woodpiles, and other locations but it does not mean that the house is infested, but if winged termites are seen emerging from the base of a foundation wall or adjoining porches and patios, there's a good chance the house is infested and treatment may be warranted.

Earthen (mud) tubes (about the diameter of a pencil or larger) extending over foundation walls, support piers, sill plates, floor joists, etc. are signs of infestation. Termites construct these tubes for shelter as they move between their underground colonies and the building structure. To determine if an infestation is active, the tubes may be broken open and checked for the presence of small, creamy-white worker termites. If a tube is vacant, it does not mean that the infestation is inactive; termites often desert sections of tube while foraging elsewhere in the structure.

Termites are cryptic creatures and infestations can go undetected for years, hidden behind walls, floor coverings, insulation, and other obstructions. Termite feeding and damage can even progress undetected in wood that is exposed because the outer surface is usually left intact.

Can I treat the house myself?

In short, termite treatment is a job for professionals. "Do-it-yourself" products, sold to homeowners at retail stores or bought over the internet, will seldom eradicate an existing termite problem.

Will the chemicals harm my family or pets?

Before a product can be used, numerous studies are conducted by the manufacturer and independently evaluated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Based on the current body of knowledge, registered termiticides pose no significant hazard to humans, pets or the environment when applied according to label directions.
