All American Pest Services in the Venice area gets more calls about termites than any other household insect. These serious pests are best left to professionals to ensure they are properly eliminated.In the Venice area, termites cause thousands of dollars in damage each year. They primarily feed on wood, but also damage paper, books, insulation, and even swimming pool liners and filtration systems. They start off quietly eating away at your home, and may go unnoticed until it’s too late and damage has occurred. In addition, a home infested may one day wake up to thousands of winged termites emerging inside your home.Many times, Venice area homeowners do not notice that their home is infested with termites. Termites can go undetected for years. However, if you see any signs such as:

  • The presence of mud-like material in irregular patterns lining walls and floors.
    Termites may excavate the wood so that only a very thin layer of wood is left on the surface of the cavity and the outside. Then this layer is broken; they will cover the holes with mud like material, used to make the tubes. This is a mixture of soil, feces, and saliva.
  • The appearance of a swarm that looks like “flying ants.” This indicates a nest may be near.
  • Piles of wings: Swarmers shed their wings as they entered their next phase of development.
