Your Cool Weather Wardrobe: Wool, Flannel, and…..Pests!

As if the task of switching out your summer to winter clothing is not stressful enough, you discover that some of your softest, coziest pieces have been ruined by household pests. If your assumption is that moths are the culprits, you might want to think again. There are several insects that love to ruin your clothes, and one of them is the dreaded termite. So, when you’re finished weeping over the loss of your favorite fuzzy sweater, pick up the phone and let professionals figure out which cool weather pest is to blame. If a free termite inspection points to termites in your home, choose a family-friendly method of controlling pests and termites.

Holes in Your Clothes Mean Holes in Your House

The holes in your clothes may be mirroring holes the termites are making in the very foundation of your home. Cooler weather leaves all homes vulnerable to pests who are looking for a warm place to eat, sleep, and multiply. During winter, the queen is busy laying up to 2,000 eggs per day. The bottom line is that with each passing day, an infestation can grow by the thousands.
