Services: Termite Control

No homeowner ever wants to believe their home is being invaded and destroyed by these annoying little pests. Most people believe they have flying ants. And, it’s been our experience here at Swat Pest Control that some people ACTUALLY have flying ants. The rest is, (drum roll, please)… the much dreaded, wood destroying, subterranean termite!

Even customers who have had a regular service contract with us for years, who believe that it’s not possible because their home is routinely serviced by Swat Pest Control get termites. Most people just think of them as another pest to be treated, pointed out to our technicians and say, “can you treat them?” A termite treatment is much more involved than just spraying. It usually involves injecting specialized chemical into the soil. Do you realize that there are people who have had termites in their house for years and see what they think are flying ants every Spring, treat them themselves with a can of Bug-Be-Gone Zapper or some other nonsense and they go away! What you actually have killed are the termite swarmers. The ones that chew are still very active. And the swarmers will come out again every Spring, you’ll think you have those darn flying ants again, you’ll treat them, and they go away. Viscous cycle!!

Call us! We will come out and do an evaluation and assessment of your home for a small fee. If it really is flying ants, AWESOME! We can treat them right at the time that we come out for a fee. If termites are found, we will provide a written estimate of the work to be done and the areas of your house that need to be treated. Just don’t try and figure out yourself whether it’s flying ants or termites. Let a Swat Pest Control trained technician advise you and we’ll take it from there!
