Frequent Questions
Termites
How can I tell if I have a termite infestation and what are the signs of damage associated with termites?
Reproductive (swarmer) termites usually emerge from late March to early June. Swarmers resemble winged ants except with straight antennae, a broad waist, and both pairs of wings equal in length. Swarmers are attracted to sunlight and are usually found around windows. Another sign is mud tubes on your foundation, sill plate, or header and floor joices. Damaged wood can be located by tapping or probing with a screwdriver. Termite galleries in wood are mud-filled and run with the grain.
Are there any warranties given after a termite treatment is performed?
Action offers a variety of warranties from retreatment only to damage repair warranties depending on your structure and treatment selection.
How long does it take to get rid of termites?
Time to elimination depends upon the control product you select. We recommend Termidor. Termidor is a non-repellant termiticide with an unsurpassed track record of successful long term control. However, it can take up to 90 days to fully eliminate termite activity in a structure. Not to worry though, even the largest termite colonies could do little more damage in that period.
