When Mother’s Day is celebrated, it is also the time of the year when the Formosan subterranean termites swarm and spread their colonies. The swarm season for this termite starts as early as April and lasts through June, with a peak in early to mid May.

Termite swarmers can be a nuisance when they fly in large numbers, but killing the swarmers in or around the house does not provide any protection from further termite activity and damage.

Protecting your home from termites begins with an inspection by a pest management professional, followed by a proper treatment depending on the situation.

Here are several actions you can do to protect your home:

-Turn off outdoor lights at night in May and June to avoid attracting swarmers.
-Remove all wood, cardboard, and other cellulose-containing materials from around or under your home.
-Keep mulch 8 to 12 inches from the foundation or perimeter of your home.
-Fix dripping faucets outdoor and repair leaks in the roof or pipes.
-Slope the landscape so water will drain away from the house.
-Use only licensed and certified pest management professionals for termite treatments.

Question: *How often should you get your roof inspected? "

Typically, roofs should be inspected at least once per year and after any extreme weather event. High winds and hail can cause significant roof damages, leading to expensive repairs.

Leaky roofs can cause structural and property damages and can create conditions that are conducive to growth.

Question: "I see mold in my home.
Why should I have air sampling coducted?"

Taking air samples during a mold inspection is important for several reasons. Mold spores are not visible to the naked eye, and the types of mold present can often be determined through laboratory analysis of the air samples.

Having samples analyzed can also help provide insight into the scope and severity of a mold problem, as well as aid in assessing human exposure to mold spores.
