Signs of termite activity could be that the wood seems hollow almost paper-like.  They can make their way through the middle of a board or drywall without damaging the outside.  When you tap on the walls, they could sound hollow and thin. 

Swarmers often appear as hundreds of flying insects that seem to just appear.  Finding discarded wings is another sign of a swarm.

Each year, Kentucky homeowners experience thousands of dollars worth of termite damage.  Kentucky ranks moderate to heavy for termite activity.  Here in Kentucky, we contend with Eastern Subterranean termites. As the name replies, these termites live underground. They enter structures through cracks and openings in and around foundations. Quite often extensive damage is done before the unexpecting homeowner realizes they have a problem.  Locating the site of termite activity isn't always an easy, straight forward task.  The Wheeldon Company recommends having your home and or business inspected by a trained professional.

TERMITE FACTS

"There are two types of homes, those that have termites and those that will"

No matter how your home is contructed, where it's located or how old it is, it could be attacked by subterranean termites. They are a threat across 70% of the world and in every part of the United States, exept Alaska.  They cause $5 Billion worth of damage each year in the United States alone.  They are, in fact, the most serious threat your home may face. 

In any given year, termites damage more home than fires and storms, including floods, tornados, and earthquakes.

NEW CONSTRUCTION PRE-TREATMENT

We offer pre-contruction treatment services for all types of construction projects.  If doing a liquid barrier treatment, remember the best time for treatment is before concrete is poured and before framing starts / or wood is applied.  It's an inexpensive treatment compared to treatments and repair costs once termites have attacked.

For the greener treatment approach we also have a termite baiting program. These monitoring/bait stations are installed once final grade and landscaping is complete.

We will glad to provide you with an estimate. For many potential customers and homebuyers, knowing that a termite coverage program is already in place can be an attractive selling tool.

All necessary forms and documents needed are provided to the builder or homeowner to have as requirements in closings and loan preparations.

TERMITE BAITING SYSTEM

There are many advantages to baiting for termite control 

1 - Termite baits actually eliminates the termite colony that is consuming the bait.

2 - Dramatic reduction in the amounts of pesticide neccessary for termite control when termite baits are used in place of barrier treatments. 

3 - The integrity of your home is left in place due to the absence of drilling foundations and slabs.
