Termite Protection
Termites Cause Millions of Dollars in Damage to Structures each Year!
No structure, not even brick or concrete slab construction, is immune to the insidious appetite of termites. In the Memphis and the Mid-South, preventative measures are the only sure way to stop termites from entering and devouring your home. The most common and our preferred method of Termite preventative measures is still the Drill, Trench and Treat method that has worked so well for many decades. With the advancement of termiticide technologies such as Termidor, The Drill, Trench and Treat method remains the No. 1 preventative measure for subterranean termites today!
Are they ants or termites?
Every spring, we receive phone calls from concerned homeowners just like you asking our professionals to determine if the mystery bugs swarming in and around their home are ants or termites. Here’s a quick guide:
- Examine the insects’ wings, waist and antennae. While both insects have two pairs of wings, termite wings are relatively equal in size. Ant wings tend to be longer in front and shorter in back.
- Ants have a narrow, pinched waist, with three separate body parts. Termites’ waists are thicker and less distinct.
- Ants’ antennae are elbowed, Termites’ are straight.
