Termites in Winter

“You have termites” might just be one of the last things any homeowner wants to hear, and for good reason. Every year, termites cost American homeowners over $5 billion in exterminations and repairs; especially termites in winter.

While many homeowners are very diligent about protecting their homes from termites in winter, they often let down their guard during winter. Since termites seem to disappear in the winter, many believe that they must go into hibernation or die off. Unfortunately, this is simply too good to be true.

The truth is that while termite activity might slow down during winter, they do not completely halt their work. Even though they do have to keep their bodies at a certain temperature, your home’s heating system can provide the heat that they need to survive and continue damaging your property.

When it comes to termites, out of sight should not mean out of mind. Just because you don’t see the same signs of their presence that you did during summer doesn’t mean that they aren’t there. Letting down your guard can give them the opportunity to do some significant damage while your back is turned. To protect your investment, keep watching all year long for any signs of an infestation and call a professional termite inspector immediately if you think you have termites.
