You Thought Avengers: Endgame Had a Surprise Ending? Wait Until You See This!

If you were bowled over by the latest and greatest Avengers movie, Formosan termites are here to say, “Hold my beer!” These subterranean termites, often called “super termites,” can make such short work of wood that they make it disappear in the snap of Thanos’s glove!

These are the most aggressive, voracious,
and utterly difficult termites out of all the other species. These little supervillains
proudly tout their title in front of over 2,000 other types of termites as
known in science. They can chew through wood and flooring, even wallpaper, at
the blink of an eye.

Believe us, you do not want these
wood-munching monsters anywhere near your property! If you suspect you have termites
of any kind, call us at Spears Pest Control so we can come out and destroy
them. Of all the termites, you definitely don’t want these guys, but we can determine
which ones are infesting your home and eradicate them fast.

Want to play detective yourself? You can find
out if you have Formosan termites by looking for swarmers. These are winged
termites that fly right for lights. It can be hard to tell one bug from another
though, especially here in Florida, but if you find discarded wings by your
windowsills, lights, vents, and doors, you’re likely dealing with an attempt to
overthrow your home by Formosan termites.

Another way to check for Formosan
termites is to knock on wood. Any wood you see – visibly damaged or not – give it
a tap. If it sounds hollow, it’s time to call us to check your property and get
rid of those little buggers. At Spears Pest Control, we have all the right
methods for eradicating these pests (others too!) from your home.

Once we get them out of there, you should
keep up with a professional termite inspection each year. It’s an affordable
service that saves you time, money, and keeps you with peace of mind knowing
that these awful pests aren’t eating your home down to dust. Formosan termites
are the absolute worst because they can completely decimate property.

In addition to calling us for regular inspections,
make sure you get rid of moisture sources. That means keeping humidity out of
crawl spaces and attics. In your outdoor areas, make sure that water flows away
from your home during rain. Proper drainage prevents water from creating access
for Formosan termites. Use gutters, splash blocks, and downspouts to thwart
their efforts.

In the cooler months, keep your firewood
a good 20 feet away at the very least from you home. Always keep a lookout for
mud tubes near your home. If you see anything suspicious, give us a call so we
can get rid of them before major damage is done.

Most Floridians protect their homes from the big bad guys, but don’t forget to protect from those little ones too with Spears Pest Control!
