Termite Control in Mt Washington, Ky and surrounding areas

Get Rid of Your Pests for Good.

Kentucky is home to the Eastern Subterranean Termite which causes 95% of all termite damage in the United States. As the name suggests, subterranean termites build their colonies underground and require moisture to stay alive. Because these termites live underground most homeowners are unaware that they have a termite problem until they see a swarm of reproductive winged termites inside their home. At this point, the colony feeding on your home has matured and there could be expensive repairs needed to floor joists, wall studs, or window and door frames. Left untreated, termite damage can destabilize your home, costing thousands in repairs.

Catching Termites Early

Once a termite colony has begun feeding on your home it is best to catch this activity early and eliminate the colony. Early signs that you have a termite infestation in your home can be:

Mud Tubes on your home’s foundation or inside your attached garage
Piles of dropped insect wings around windowsills or in the corners of your floor
Small white insects resembling ants foraging in your mulch near the foundation of your home.
Doors and windows that stick, or sagging floorboards.
