Termites in Richmond, Va!

by Pest Solutions, Inc. of Schulz Chiropractic Center ( 13-Mar-2013 )

Statistics show that Richmond, Virginia may have as many as 10-14 termite colonies in a single acre of land- 3 or 4 of which could easily be situated right under or around your home.

These termite colonies constantly forage through the soil looking for food sources, and they don't stop at just one!

Their foraging range will spread beyond the initial food source (your neighbor's house) into an area as large as two acres in the Richmond area! At this point, it is only a matter of time before they will reach an adjacent home. In fact, they may be there already!

While our trained professionals in Richmond recognize the less obvious signs of termite infestation, there are more obvious signs that all homeowners should be on the lookout for. These distinctive warning signs are:

  • Stray wings- found near emergence sites such as exterior doors, on windowsills, in cobwebs, and/or at the garage.
  • Mud Tunnels- lining the sides of piers, utility entrances, or the inside or outside of the foundation walls of your house.
  • Flying/Swarming Termites- inside your house, near windows, doors, or indoor light sources
