The monsoon season can mean many things to many people—rain, cool weather, fresh air, and new life. When it arrives, so do the termites—to your property. Probably unnoticed, termites are quietly wreaking havoc. Also known as “white ants,” termites are hard at work, and in the monsoon, homes and offices are at particular risk. Moisture, heat and access, you’ll soon realize your property is the perfect environment for them.
How Monsoon Accelerates Termite Infestations
Monsoons bring a lot of rain. Rain makes soil, as well as moisture levels in and around your buildings, soft. For termites, especially the subterranean and winged termites, this moisture sends signals for swarming, mating, and colonizing.
The swarming is often noticed near lights or windows at night, and you’ll see thousands swarm at once; it means they are ready to start new colonies—your furniture, walls, and floors. After doing their swarming and flying, the termites will settle, shed their wings, and then immerse themselves into either damp wood or soil. One thing to note is the humidity allows termites to live longer without food and makes them breed at a faster reproduction rate.
Entry Points Termites Use
Termites do not simply enter your home through the entrance. The pest species Tailings an advantage of small, almost invisible entry points in your residence such as:
• Cracks in walls or foundation
• Loose tiles or wet ceilings
• Wood touching the ground
• Non-sealed window and door frames
• Leaky pipes and standing water
Once termites are inside your home they will construct mud tunnels for protection and to control their wet environment.
Gas termites can chew through wood, undetected by you because of the mud tunnels.
Colony Behavior That Increases the Risk:
A termite colony is a factory. The queen lays thousands of eggs daily, while worker termites work without discrimination in the dark. Termites will traverse great distances underground and across walls munching on wood, cupboards, books, and electrical wiring – and you would not have a clue.
Most of the time you will be lucky to know that damage is evident – perhaps hollow wood, flaking paint or discarded wings. By the time you notice the damage, the infestation is usually severe.
