Desert Subterranean Termites

July 6, 2015 By Benjamin Ehinger

las vegas termitesLiving in Las Vegas, you may encounter different bugs compared to other areas of the country. One of those bugs is the desert subterranean termite.

If the name makes you cringe, your reaction is justified! These bugs are not friends of homeowners and can be a huge nuisance. They can grow to be about a half-inch in size and can cause all kinds of trouble.

Desert subterranean termites love to breed in high moisture areas near high heat climates. They are wood-consuming pests, so they will go unnoticed more often than not. These termites lie underground and create tubes throughout the soil. They may also create these same tubes in your drywall, plaster or wood.

Unlike other types of termites, these specific ones really like wet and rotted wood. They will, however, eat your drywall and certain types of paint.

Often, you will find these bugs in the foundation of your home or near other wood buildings on your property. They will feast until the integrity of your home is compromised or until you do something about it.

Las Vegas termites are very sneaky and will find their way in before you even notice. They might be behind the walls or under your home looking for some wood to destroy.

Finding even just one of the dessert subterranean termites should be enough to make you call a professional pest control company in Las Vegas. Where there is one, there are probably many more. Even if you just see signs of these termites, you should call a pest control expert to check things out.

Those looking to buy a home in Las Vegas should have a full termite inspection done first. This may save you thousands of dollars later on when you have to replace support beams, walls and other structural elements of your home because of these nasty pests.
