Termite Inspections in Montclair, NJ

The first step in winning the war against termites is to schedule a comprehensive inspection to determine the extent of the problem, if any. Many home and business owners make the mistake of waiting until they notice obvious signs of termite activity to contact a professional termite treatment service, but by this time, the chances are high that a great deal of costly damage has already been done. Scheduling an appointment for a termite inspection can save you significant sums of money as well as protect your property from unnecessary damage

An inspection typically takes from between an hour to 90 minutes and involves checking for trademark mud tubes and inspecting wood porches, siding, and decks for signs of damage as well as woodpiles, stumps, and yard debris. Your technician will then check interior baseboards, windowsills, floor joists, beams, and various cracks and crevices around the structure. Bait stations will likely need to be set up in various locations to provide long term protection from recurring infestations.

Telltale Signs of Termites in Montclair

Termites feed on the cellulose in wood, and because they eat their way from the inner wood to the outer bark, they often do a lot of damage before their presence is discovered. Some of the ways you can tell if termites are part of the picture is if there are discarded wings under or near windows, there are visible mud tubes along walls and flooring, there are small piles of what looks like sawdust lying around, and wood that sounds hollow when tapped or knocked on. Signs of serious damage include sagging floors, buckling ceilings, and uneven rooflines.
