Quick Answers
What kind of termites live in Ohio?
Eastern subterranean termites. They live in the soil and build mud tubes up foundation walls to reach wood.
When do termites swarm in Ohio?
Most swarms happen on warm days in spring, often after a rain. Winged termites near a window or a pile of shed wings is the usual first sign.
Do I need a termite inspection to sell a house?
Many lenders ask for a wood destroying insect inspection, often called a WDI report. Ask the company if they write those reports when you call.
Does a termite company need a license in Ohio?
Ohio requires a pesticide business license from the Ohio Department of Agriculture for any company that applies pesticides on someone else’s property for pay. Ask for the license number before work starts.
Termites in Ohio come up from the soil. They need moisture, so wet wood near the foundation, mulch against the siding and leaky gutters all help them.
A good inspection covers the basement or crawl space, the outside of the foundation, the garage and any wood that touches soil. Ask what they found and where.
There are two common ways to treat. One is a liquid barrier in the soil around the house. The other is bait stations set in the yard. Ask about the warranty and how long it lasts.
