With the arrival of spring in Oregon, the season for termites also approaches. The moist conditions brought about by spring rains and humidity in our region are ideal for these destructive pests. Many homeowners believe their home insurance policies will cover termite damage, but this is often untrue. Insurers frequently view Termite damage as preventable, leaving many without coverage for this type of damage.
It’s essential to understand that most home insurance policies do not cover termite damage, seeing it as preventable. Proactive termite control measures are necessary to protect your home throughout the year to avoid the hefty costs of termite damage.
Recognizing Termite Damage: Key Indicators
Termite infestations are a serious concern that can severely impact the structural integrity of your home or business. Identifying an infestation early on can significantly reduce the potential damage. Our experienced pest control technicians are trained to spot signs of termite activity during an inspection:
- Flooring that appears blistered or is sagging
- Visible cracks in walls or ceilings
- Damage to the foundation
- Wear on decking or wooden fence posts
- Roof tiles that are loose or appear damp
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Frass, which looks similar to sawdust and represents termite droppings
- Mud tubes on the exterior walls of the building
If you observe any of these signs, it’s crucial to contact a pest control professional immediately to verify if you have a termite issue.
