Top Termite Cities: Miami, LA & Tampa | Safe Guard Tips

Introduction

As Safe Guard Pest Control owner, I am always keeping an eye on any current pest trends across the country. And news from FacilityExecutive.com recently confirmed, as most of us in the industry have long suspected, that Miami, Los Angeles, and Tampa are the top three cities for termite activity in the United States. And it's not just bad news for people living in these cities; it is a call-to-action for homeowners everywhere, especially those in warm, humid climates such as ours.

Here is what it means for you and how Safe Guard Pest Control can help.

Termites on Increase Again

Every year, pest control companies like ours keep close tabs on cities with the highest term infestation rates across the country. And once more in the rising cities lists, Miami, Los Angeles, and Tampa. Warm weather, moisture, and wood structures are the breeding grounds for termites.

However, while these three cities hold on the first place in term activity, other states also report increases in termite activity as a result of unexpected climate shifts, high rains, and city expansion.

Isn't It Okay Not to Live in Any of These Cities?

Good question. But even if you were not in one of the top three cities, this trend is an omen of trouble. If termites prosper in Miami and LA, they can just as easily prosper in your neighborhood, especially if you are in a region with similar weather patterns.

It’s kind of like hearing that there’s a flu outbreak in one part of the country. You might not be sick yet-but you better start taking precautions.

How Termites Can Wreck Your Home

Mighty destruction is done by termites, though they be small. These pests silently munch their way through wood 24/7 behind walls, beneath floors, and in crawlspaces, till suddenly you find out that the cost of damage caused by them will run into thousands of dollars for repairs.

At Safe Guard Pest Control, we have seen support beams completely hollow out, thereby causing sagging floors, if not the possibility of collapse. This is the reason why early detection and prevention are so vital.

Keep firewood and mulch away from the siding of your home.

Why Termite Protection Is More Important Than Ever

Termite activities in key cities are stepping up the offensive threat against potential homeowners. In fact, termites account for more than $5 billion damages every year in the United States and most policies do not cover it.

Treat termite control like a car insurance policy. You hope you never have to use it-but when something happens, you'll be glad you had it.

FAQs

1. Do termites only infest cities like Miami and LA?

Nope! While they are more prevalent in warmer areas, termites can be found almost everywhere. The risk is just higher in humid, warm climates.

2. How often should I get a termite inspection?

Annually is recommended at minimum, especially if you live in an older home or one in areas prone to termites.

3. Can I treat termites myself?

DIY methods often miss the root of the problem. Professional inspections and treatments are far more effective and longer lasting.

4. What is the difference between drywood and subterranean termites?

Subterranean termites live underground and build mud tubes to reach your house, while drywood termites live and eat within the wood that they infest. Both are very damaging.
