Don’t Let Termites Linger: Why Fall Is the Best Time for an Inspection
Termites are a year-round threat in Alabama, but fall is one of the most important times to act. As the weather begins to cool, termites continue feeding quietly behind walls and beneath foundations. A fall inspection can prevent thousands of dollars in damage before spring swarming season begins.
Why Fall Matters for Termite Prevention
During the cooler months, termite colonies slow down—but they don't stop. The reduced surface activity makes them harder to spot, but they’re still active below ground and in moist, hidden areas of your home.
Fall is also the best time to prepare for spring, when colonies send out swarmers to establish new nests. Catching them now gives you a proactive edge.
Common Signs of Termite Activity
- Mud tubes on walls or foundation
- Hollow-sounding wood
- Blistering or uneven paint
- Discarded wings around windows or doors
- Clicking noises in walls
If you’ve noticed any of these signs—especially after the summer rains—your home may already have a problem.
Why Choose Fall for Treatment or Inspection
- Easier access to problem areas as foliage dies back
- Less pest pressure allows for more targeted inspections
- Prevent costly damage before winter or spring
- Prepare for pre-swarm season proactively
