recognizing termite damageHome ownership can be an unending series of adventures, especially for those homeowners who love good home improvement projects. Some projects are fun and improve the value of a home instantly, while others are undertaken to address a potentially serious issue.

Discovering that termites are taking up residence where you live can be disconcerting, but termites are a very common occurrence. Understanding termites and recognizing the signs of termite damage early on can help homeowners reduce the havoc that such critters can wreak on their homes.

Termites are social insects that live together in colonies. These colonies eat nonstop, dining on wood and other cellulose plant matter. They also eat materials made from plants, like fabric and paper. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage a year. Studies show that queen termites can live up to decades under ideal climate conditions while workers and soldiers live approximately one to two years.

While there are many varieties of termites,

all are silent destroyers capable of chewing unde t ec t ed t h rough hous ing s t ruc tu r e s . To eradicate termites, homeowners must first identify the insects and then contact a termite management specialist to address the pest problem.

Spotting termites

Termites may not always be visible. Subterranean termite homes are usually formed in soil, where the termites build elaborate tunnel systems that channel through to above-ground food sources. Drywood and dampwood termites may live within the wood they consume and be undetectable until the wood collapses or rots away. Homeowners often realize they have a termite problem when they witness swarming termites. At this point there already may be a mature colony at work damaging a home. S w a r m i n g , w i n g e d termites form in a mature, e s t ab l i shed co lony. Winged termites emerge and fly off looking for mates. Afterward they will locate a new breeding site and form another colony, potentially spreading infes ta t ions through m u l t i p l e l o c a t i o n s . Winged termites are attracted to light and can be seen by windows and doors in spring.

Other signs of termites include accumulation of soil or dirt at the base of wood structures or the foundation of a home. 7KHUH�DOVR�PD\�EH�¿VVXUHV�or cracks near wood surfaces. Sometimes “ f r a s s” o r t e rmi t e droppings can be seen. They appear as rough, granulated sawdust.

Covered mud tubes, or channels of mud leading from the soil up the foundation of a home, are indicative of the presence of termites. Even if termites are no longer present in these tubes, that does not mean the termites have moved on. They simply may have chosen a new path to your home.

Keeping termites away

Once termites have been identified, it is time to eliminate them. This means getting rid of water and food sources that are close to a home.

* Repair leaky faucets and other water drips in and around the house.

* Keep gutters and downspouts clean.

* Seal entry points around water and utility lines or pipes.

* Divert water away from the foundation.

�.HHS� OXPEHU��¿UHZRRG�or paper away from the foundation of the home.

* Clear away stumps and tree debris.

* Prevent untreated wood from contacting the soil.

Treating termites

It is very difficult for homeowners to get rid of termites by themselves.

Very often they require the work of professionals. A termite exterminator will conduct a visual inspection of a home and property and may do extensive testing involving expensive acoustic or infrared equipment to probe the soil beneath the house.

D epend ing on t he species of termite, the exterminator will suggest va r ious t r ea tmen t s . These may include the application of pesticides and making areas around the home less hospitable to termites. Severely damaged wood may need to be removed and

replaced.

Termites are problematic in many areas of the world. These insects often stay hidden and do serious damage that can cost homeowners a fortune. Treating termites promptly is essential.

7 fast ways to go green today

Individuals may not be

able to reverse global

climate change on their

own, nor can one person

working alone prevent

a species of animal

from becoming extinct.

But collective efforts

in which communities

make concerted efforts to

protect the planet have the

potential to bring about

VLJQL¿FDQW�FKDQJH�

Such efforts need not even

be extensive. When widely

adopted, the following

ways to go green can

EHQH¿W�WKH�HQYLURQPHQW�LQ�myriad ways, and each is

rather easy to adopt.

1. Sort the trash. A

substantial amount of

household waste can be

recycled, but too frequently

people throw out things

in haste. Cans, bottles,

aluminum foil, paper

bags, plastic bags, and

plastic containers can be

recycled or put to use in

other ways. When you

examine things that end up

in the garbage, you may

find that such items have

utility elsewhere. Take a

few minutes to analyze if

something can be reused

before tossing it out.

2. Carpool to school or

work. Carpooling greatly

reduces wear and tear on

vehicles and can reduce

the need for costly repairs

while saving fuel. Tufts

Univers i ty professor

W i l l i a m M o o m a w,

co-author of the latest

“Intergovernmental Panel

on Climate Change” report,

calculated that if American

commuters would carpool

for just one day per week,

they could significantly

reduce America’s carbon

emiss ions by 2050.

Carpooling to school and

work also cuts down on

the number of vehicles

on the road during times

of gridlock, reducing the

propensity for accidents

DQG�WUDI¿F�MDPV�

3. Buy local products.

Purchasing locally grown

foods or products produced

nearby reduces the need to

transport those products

while cutting back on

packaging as well. Visit

farmers’ markets on the

weekend to stock up on

items used for meals

during the week. This will

greatly lower your energy

footprint, and you won’t

have to spend much time

traveling for your meals.

4. Turn off a few lights.

There is no need to have

every room in the house

illuminated, especially

when those rooms are

unoccupied. Consciously

turn off the l ights ,

televisions, radios, and

other electronics after you

leave a room to cut down

on energy usage.

5. Plant native greenery.

Trees, shrubs and other

p l an t s improve a i r

quality while providing a

home to wildlife. Plants

produce oxygen and

store carbon, helping to

control greenhouse gases

and keep the atmosphere

cooler. Plant more trees

or other plants around the

house, which helps the

environment and adds

some aesthetic appeal to

your property. Choose

native plants that will

thrive in your climate.

6. Turn down the thermostat

on your water heater. A

standard water heater is set

to 140 F, but many people

do not need water that hot.

Turn it down a few degrees,

and you’ll save energy and

reduce the risk of scalding.

7. Fix plumbing leaks.

Leaky toilets can waste

a substantial amount of

water, some as much as

200 gallons per day. Fixing

leaky toilets as well as any

faucets around the house

can help conserve energy

and save money on your

monthly water bill.

Going green doesn’t

involve a large investment

of time or money. A variety

of small changes can be

effective when a good

number of people do their

part.
