Termite

About 1 in 5 American homes will experience termite damage. It’s important for homeowners in Ohio to be vigilant and take preventive measures against termites, as they can cause significant structural damage.

Termite Populations are on the Rise

Reports indicating that the presence of termites has increased in various regions, particularly in suburban areas where a large grouping of wooden homes are common. Homeowners need to be proactive with inspections and preventive measures to combat this growing issue.

Types of Termites in Ohio

Ohio primarily faces threats from two types of termites:

  • Subterranean Termites: These are the most destructive and can form colonies of up to two million. They build mud tubes to access wood and can cause severe structural damage.

  • Drywood Termites: Less common in Ohio, they can still pose a risk, especially if introduced through infested furniture or crates.

Estimated Damage Costs

The financial impact of termite damage in Ohio can be substantial. While specific percentages of damage are not universally defined, it is known that termite infestations can lead to millions of dollars in repairs annually across the state.

Prevention and Inspection

To mitigate risks, homeowners should conduct regular inspections and maintain proper moisture levels in and around their homes. Preventive measures are crucial, as termites can go undetected for years, leading to significant structural issues.

Understanding these factors can help homeowners in Ohio protect their properties from termite damage effectively.

 Termite mud tubes are one of the most visible signs of a termite infestation, and they are common in Ohio, especially due to the presence of subterranean termites, which are the most prevalent termite species in the state.
