Spring in Connecticut brings warmer temperatures and increased termite activity. Heres what West Hartford homeowners need to know to protect their properties.
When Termite Season Begins
Termite swarms typically start in March and continue through May in our region. During this time, mature colonies send out winged reproductive termites (swarmers) to establish new colonies.
Signs of Termite Activity
- Mud tubes on foundation walls
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Discarded wings near windows and doors
- Small holes in drywall
- Frass (termite droppings) near wood
Prevention Tips
- Keep firewood away from your home
- Maintain 6 inches of clearance between soil and wooden structures
- Fix leaky faucets and gutters
- Seal cracks in your foundation
- Schedule annual inspections
