Typical call: termite swarmers in a Kirkwood bungalow
- What homeowners notice
- On a warm spring day after rain, a homeowner finds shed wings on a front-room windowsill and a few winged insects near a baseboard. The house is a wood-frame bungalow on brick piers over a vented crawl space.
- What we do
- The technician confirms what the insects are, then goes under the house with a light to check sills, joists and pier caps for mud tubes and damaged wood, and walks the porch and exterior for wood touching soil. The findings, the options and the price are explained before any treatment is agreed.
- What to expect
- The homeowner knows what was found and where, has the choices and their prices in hand, and can decide without pressure.
