As temperatures drop and fall turns to winter, many homeowners think pests go dormant. Unfortunately, termites don’t take the season off. In fact, as they seek warmth and steady food sources, your home can become even more vulnerable to hidden damage during the colder months. At Secured Environments Pest and Wildlife Services, we want to help you safeguard your property before termites have the chance to cause costly structural problems.
Termites thrive indoors where temperatures remain stable. They feed on wood, flooring, and even wallpaper around the clock, regardless of the season. Winter activity often goes unnoticed because termites remain hidden behind walls and under floors.
Some common red flags include hollow-sounding wood when tapped, bubbling or uneven paint that looks like water damage, mud tubes along foundations or walls, and piles of discarded wings near windows or doors.
To reduce your risk, schedule a professional termite inspection before winter sets in. Eliminate excess moisture around your foundation by cleaning gutters and improving drainage. Keep firewood and mulch stored away from your home’s exterior, and seal any cracks or gaps where termites and other pests might enter.
DIY methods rarely get to the root of a termite infestation. Our expert team at Secured Environments Pest and Wildlife Services uses proven techniques and treatments designed to detect, eliminate, and prevent termites year-round. With proactive care, you can protect your home’s structure, value, and safety — even during the coldest months.
