Dealing With Termites

Termites can reside deep within a building and feed on various structures involving wood. For the Pacific Dampwood termite, which is common along the Oregon Coast, treatment alone is not always sufficient. Because these critters feed on moist or damp wood, it is advised to fix the wood first and get rid of any moisture issues.

We also have to deal with Western Subterranean Termites which can feed on the wood of your house, while eventually returning underground. Both these types of termites have the ability to form mud tubes to provide moisture and protection while moving. Sub-slab injection and trenching both inside and outside foundation walls are part of the treatment in certain circumstances. For accurate identification and preventative steps against infestation, contact us as soon as you can.

If left untreated, termite infestations can seriously harm houses and other structures in the community.

Termites might not seem like the biggest pest problem, but they can cause a lot of damage to your property, so don’t take them lightly. Termites will soon begin to consume the wood in your walls and flooring if they are present in your home. This may erode your home’s structural integrity and increase its vulnerability to weather-related and pest-related damage.

We advise you to contact Pete’s Oregon Coast Pest Control as soon as you see termites because of the possible threats and dangers they pose to your health and property. We will take care of the issue immediately.

Termites can carry germs and other infections on their bodies that can infect humans and other animals, even though they are not known to directly transmit diseases to humans. These illnesses have happened and can sometimes be fatal.

Leprosy is among the most well-known illnesses that termites can transmit. A bacterial condition that mostly affects the skin and neurological system is called leprosy. Usually, contact with an infected person’s or animal’s bodily fluids is how it spreads.

When termites eat contaminated items, including clothing or bedding, that have come into contact with an infected person, they may contract leprosy. Upon coming into touch with humans or animals, termites have the ability to transmit the infection to other termites within their colony.
