We all have an idea of what a termite infestation could mean for our home or business. Big, frightening tents, dangerous fumes, and costly renovations to salvage the remaining wood.

Mud Tubes
Mud tubes look exactly how they sound. They are lines of dirt packed together to create narrow tunnels for termites to travel. You’ll often find them at the base of your home or business’ foundation both inside and out.
Termite Droppings
Termites drop a lot of things, including excrement and wings. The first resembles sawdust or tiny wood shavings and can often be found along walls or near your home or business. Their wings are thin and papery and often appear after a swarm.
Termite Swarms
Spring and summer are prime time for termite swarms, especially after it rains. The disturbed termites will take flight and resemble a cloud of flying ants. You may find dropped wings after a termite swarm.
Wood Damage
If an infestation is really bad, you may notice hollowed or damaged wood. Termites eat wood from the inside out, giving exposed wood a hollow appearance. Damaged wood will have holes and hollowed-out spaces.
Wall Damage
Termites don’t just eat wood. They’re actually after cellulose, which is often found in drywall. Your paint or wallpaper may show signs of termite damage with bubbles or warping. You can also look for small holes in your drywall that can’t be explained away by old nails.
Literal Termites
Unless you are hyper-vigilant or a pest control professional, you likely won’t find termites until you’re completing a renovation. Many home and business owners discover termites when they begin knocking out walls and exposing the interior of their property.

If we find signs of active termites, Salvo’s Pest & Termite Control will move quickly. Termite treatments should begin as soon as possible, so don’t wait to schedule the treatment after termites are found. We like to attack termites at the source: underground. Missouri’s most common termite, the subterranean termite, lives in the soil and will crawl through cracks in your foundation to access the wood inside. The termite treatment we use will depend on the scale and location of termite activity, but you can trust that the work we do is effective. Once we exterminate the existing termites, it’s time to think about prevention.
Just like any pest, termites can come back in the future. That’s why ongoing pest management is essential for St. Charles County, Missouri home and business owners. Once we no longer see signs of an active termite infestation, we’ll take measures to keep termites from coming back.
The service we offer will depend on the size and layout of your home or business, but you’ll rest easy knowing it’s working. To book your termite inspection,
contact Salvo’s Pest & Termite Control today!
