Winter Termite Control in Kansas City is very important for safeguarding your home’s structure from these wood eating pests. Termites eat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, meaning damage to wood in and around a structure can happen very quickly. In fact, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) estimates that termites cause $5 billion in property damage each year. Don’t let your home be part of that number!
Why are Termites a Threat in Winter?
BusinessWire shares that “Winter weather can leave homes vulnerable to damage and moisture buildup. Termites are experts at finding, and capitalizing, on these faults. Once inside, termites are a major threat, as their constant chewing can compromise the structural integrity of a home from the inside out.” That’s why here in Kansas City, Milberger Pest Control takes termite control very seriously, including treating for winter termite control.

Suspect You May Have A Problem? Look for These:
To help consumers protect their homes, NPMA is sharing the following signs of a termite infestation:
- SWARMERS: Winged termites that invade homes in the springtime. Found in buildings that sustained damage from winter weather, and the rest of the colony follows them.
- DISCARDED WINGS: Found near windowsills and doors and are often the first and only outwardly visible sign of a termite problem.
- WOOD DAMAGE: Termites tend to eat wood from the inside out, so wood that sounds hollow when tapped often signifies a termite infestation.
- FRASS: Drywood termites produce these wood-colored droppings, usually in a small pile that looks like pellets, as they eat through wood.
- MUD TUBES: Termites build mud tubes near the foundation of a building to provide moisture while they travel between their colony and a food source.
