Tips for Formosan Termite Control in Louisiana
How Termite Control Will Save You Money Long-Term
Termites are responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in damage every year in the United States. In the state of Louisiana, we have a very high incidence of termite infestation in homes, commercial buildings and industrial structures. These wood-eating insects are also found in living and decaying plants, such as trees, shrubs, and even agricultural crops. That's why it's doubly important to stay ahead of termite control, so you and your family stay safe against wood-munching invaders.
Large Formosan termites nest inside the wall of a residential New Orleans home. Formosan termites can build nests both above and below ground. Above ground, these nests are called cartons.
Here are a few tips that may help control termites around your property.
• Trim vegetation off the home
