Four Simple Ways To Protect Your Overlea Property From Termites

Termites are a nightmare pest for homeowners. They are estimated to cause more than five billion dollars in damage yearly across the United States, most of which isn’t covered by your insurance. They are a tough pest to deal with because they are very hard to find. By the time you realize you have a problem, the damage is already done.

That is why termite prevention is so important. Here are four things you can do to keep your Overlea property protected from termites:

1. Keep an 18-inch gap between soil and the exterior of your home.
2. Eliminate moisture around your home by repairing leaky pipes, HVAC units and ensuring gutters and downspouts are functioning properly.
3. Repair or replace any rotted wood on your home, including on the roof.
4. Keep firewood at least 20 feet from your home.

When it comes to termite control, there is no substitute for professional help. Our trained exterminators can inspect your property for termites and develop a treatment plan that keeps your home termite-free.

Why Are There Silverfish In My Overlea Home

Silverfish are easily recognizable by their shiny, silver appearance and movements that are best described as “fish-like.” Silverfish aren’t harmful to humans. They don’t bite, and they don’t spread disease. They can, however, be destructive to personal property, especially items made of paper. They have been known to infest wallpaper, books, envelopes, and other items that include glue or fabric.

Silverfish are excellent climbers and will enter your home in search of food, shelter, and moisture. They can climb walls and sneak in through door and window frames, utility pipes, vents, and other areas that aren’t well sealed. Here are a few tips to help keep these pests out:

• Repair leaky pipes and drains.
• Remove wet or moldy wood.
• Use a dehumidifier in your home.
• Avoid storing books or magazines in basements, attics, or garages.
• Keep food in airtight containers.

If you think you have a silverfish infestation or want to make sure they don’t become a problem in the future, contact us today. We’ll treat your home and make sure it is free of silverfish, and other pests, all year long.
