Termite Control and Inspection in Lansing, Byron Center, and Surrounding Areas
Gutter installers found a hornet nest in my home and couldn’t finish the installation. I called a number of large chain pest control companies but Ben explained his process over in detail that I could understand. He and his assistant came that same day. They were thorough and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend Stewart Pest Solutions.
Termites are one of the most damaging pests a property owner can face. These insects feed on wood and other materials that contain cellulose, often working quietly behind walls, under floors, or within foundations. By the time signs become visible, significant structural damage may already be present.
In Michigan, subterranean termites are the most common type. They live in large underground colonies and travel through mud tubes to reach wood sources inside homes and buildings. Because they stay hidden, infestations can go undetected for long periods without a professional inspection.
Understanding Termite Behavior
Termites are small, pale insects that live in highly organized colonies made up of workers, soldiers, and reproductive swarmers. Workers are responsible for feeding on wood, while swarmers emerge in the spring to start new colonies.
- Subterranean termites build mud tubes to travel between soil and wood
- Colonies can contain thousands to millions of termites
- They feed continuously and can damage structures over time
- Activity often goes unnoticed until wood becomes hollow or weakened
Because termites consume wood from the inside out, damage is not always visible on the surface.
Why Termites Are a Serious Concern
A termite infestation is more than a minor inconvenience. Left untreated, it can lead to expensive repairs and long-term structural issues.
- Termites weaken support beams, flooring, and other structural components
- Damage can reduce property value, especially during real estate inspections
- Infestations can spread as colonies grow or new colonies form nearby
- Dust and debris from termite activity may affect indoor air quality
Early detection is key to minimizing damage and avoiding costly repairs.
