Termites in the Garage?

9 Dec. 2015

How many times have you come and gone in your car this week, in and out of the garage? In a hurry to a meeting, rushing to work, kids late for school, back home to get shopping inside quickly or dinner prepared?

You may have walked past that old wooden chair you want to repair or that chest of drawers which is a family heirloom you keep meaning to restore - a hundred times?

The homeowner who owns the cabinet in the video below would have gone past it for years. Completely unaware of it's inhabitants. Until he called Termico Pest Management to do a termite inspection of his home.

Our Technician discovered termites had packed the gaps around the edges of the cabinet in the garage with their mud. When the Technician moved the cabinet, the termite leads underneath were broken and active termites were exposed.

You can see the outline on the floor of the garage where the cabinet had been. Our technician broke a termite shelter tube on the side of the cabinet in a few places with a screwdriver to reveal the termites inside.

Don't let this happen to you - or your precious heirlooms!
