Many homeowners assume termites die off or go dormant when temperatures drop — but that’s a dangerous misconception. Even during the coldest months, termites can remain active and continue damaging your home, often completely unnoticed.
At Secured Environments Pest and Wildlife Services, we want homeowners to understand that winter is not a break from termite season. Here’s why these destructive pests stay busy year-round:
Termites build their colonies deep beneath the soil or inside warm, insulated areas of your home — like basements, crawl spaces, or behind walls. These protected spaces allow them to stay active and continue feeding, even when it’s freezing outside.
Your heated home can actually help termites thrive. The warmth and moisture inside walls or under floors make ideal conditions for them to continue chewing through wood and structural materials undisturbed.
Because termites work quietly and stay out of sight, many homeowners don’t realize there’s a problem until the damage is severe. Winter inspections are critical for catching hidden infestations before they spread.
Don’t wait for spring to think about termite control. Professional monitoring and treatment during the winter months can stop infestations before they grow — saving you from costly repairs later.
At Secured Environments Pest and Wildlife Services, our experts use advanced detection and treatment methods to protect your home from termites in every season.
