Statistically, you have a better chance of structural damage to your home from termites than you do from fire, flooding, or any other natural disaster. That’s why it’s important to protect your home with an annual termite inspection. You should also be on the lookout for potential infestations throughout the year.
Springtime is peak season for termites in Arkansas, and here are a few things to keep in mind if you want to keep your home termite-free:
Most of us have memories of being a small child and hearing the comforting voice of Mom or Dad saying, as we drifted off to sleep, “Sleep tight. Don’t let the bed bugs bite.” You may be smiling right now at the memory.

Another Arkansas Spring is officially here, and we can soon look forward to longer days, warmer weather, and outdoor activities. This is also the time when insects come out of hibernation, and become unwanted guests at those activities. When we go outside, we need to arm ourselves with bug spray to protect us from mosquitoes and ticks. At home, we need to clean kitchen counters to avoid infestations of ants, and make sure that window screens and storm doors are secure to keep flies and moths outside where they belong.
Spring is finally here with trees coming back to life, flowers peeking above the ground, and plenty of chores, indoors and out, waiting to go. One chore that must not be overlooked is a termite inspection.
Signs of termite infestation can be subtle at first, but, if left unaddressed, your home can suffer catastrophic structural damage. For that reason, it’s generally recommended that a professional termite inspection be done to avoid your home falling prey to these pests. Just a few things to know are:
Spring has arrived, and Summer will be here before we know it. And, like most Arkansans, you understand the importance of getting outside. Whether it’s camping, having a picnic, or just watching your children play in the yard, you shouldn’t let mosquitoes and other flying insects force you to stay inside.
