Will you have a reprieve from termites this winter?

Termites’ Activity During the Winter

Outdoor Termites: Outdoor termites quiet down when it gets cold outside, but this isn’t considered hibernation. Consider this a good time to clear your yard of dead wood that attracts them.

Indoor Termites: Unfortunately, indoor termites remain equally active during the wintertime, as they have the essential W’s: water, warmth, and wood. Continue to look for the signs to prevent the infestation become more serious during any time of the year.
