Termite Inspections in San Juan County

July 25, 2022

Termites can do some serious damage in a home when left undiscovered behind the walls. They do not make much noise and until they are ready to swarm out of the walls, you will probably not know they are there. But termites are very active in all states except Alaska, so being on guard against termites for residents in San Juan County, NM is definitely a good idea. The absolute best way to protect your home from the devastating effects of termites is to have a routine termite inspection by a pest professional. There are signs you can look for around your home that may indicate a termite issue but having trained eyes looking over your property at regular intervals throughout the year will be your best chance of saving thousands of dollars on repairs from termite damage if discovered too late.

The importance of a termite inspection

Termite inspections in San Juan County should be very thorough and scheduled at least once a year. New Mexico homes are at a moderate to heavy risk of having termite infestations so inspections are key to making sure your home is not being eaten up by these structure destroying insects. There is not a time of year that termites stop eating the cellulose in the wooden beams and boards in the walls. They continually eat all year round, but ramp up activity in the hot summer months. A termite queen will lay 1000 eggs in a single day and can be responsible for starting over 25 colonies in her lifetime. Like ants, termites continually plug away at their work. Unfortunately for you, termite work is weakening the structural integrity of your home bit by bit.

The initial inspection

During a termite inspection, a licensed and trained termite inspector will come into your home to search for termite activity in crawl spaces, under sinks, in the attic, and in unused cabinets. The pest professional will walk around the exterior of the home to look for the dirt or mulch being above the foundation line and if there are any termite mud tunnels attached to the foundation, indicating termites have already found an entrance in the home. After the inspection, the termite inspector will give you a run down of what was discovered, what treatment is recommended, and a quote of what it will cost. After treatment, a full damage report will be made so you know exactly what repairs are needed..

To put your mind at ease about whether or not your home is being destroyed by termites, hire a termite exterminator to inspect and treat your home. For the most thorough termite inspections in San Juan County, give Larry’s Pest Patrol a call today to set up your initial termite inspection so you can quickly rid your home of termites.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Larry’s Pest Patrol did an excellent job treating our townhouse for termites.  From the beginning, their communication and attention to detail were impressive.  Brian, the owner, called me the day before the scheduled treatment to make sure I was prepared and that everything was ready for the work to begin the following morning. Brian and Jay arrived on time on the day of treatment.  Before starting, Brian took the time to answer my questions and listen carefully to my concerns, particularly about the gravel path on the east side of the townhouse.  That path has both large and small gravel arranged in a specific way, and I wanted to make sure the treatment work did not disturb that arrangement. Brian and Jay were very accommodating.  They laid down plastic that I provided so the larger gravel could be kept separate from the smaller gravel while the work was being performed.  Jay dug the necessary trenches around the townhouse for the termiticide treatment and then took the extra time to return the gravel to its original arrangement when the work was complete. Matt, the service manager, also did an excellent job foaming the wall cavities.  He was very careful about where he made the necessary access holes in the drywall, choosing inconspicuous locations whenever possible.  After the foaming was completed, Matt went back and filled the holes he had made, leaving the work neat and unobtrusive. Brian did an equally good job where drilling into concrete was required.  He selected inconspicuous locations for the holes, pumped the termiticide into the drilled areas, and then went back afterward and filled the holes with cement so the finished work was clean and professional. Brian, Jay, and Matt worked very well together as a team.  They were professional, respectful of the property, careful with the details, and completed the job in a timely manner.  I was very pleased with both the quality of their work and the way they treated my property throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Larry’s Pest Patrol to anyone needing professional termite treatment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a technician come out to my Dads house that hasn’t been treated since the 60’s! Daniel did an amazing job and went above and beyond to treat all of the critters there. He set bait traps, sprayed around the property both inside and out. He went thru the entire outside of the house and got rid of 50 years of cobwebs. The entire house looked amazing when he was done! I couldn’t be happier with the service from Larry’ pest control. Highly recommend! Ask for Daniel!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James was my pest technician today. He was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure to address my main concerns (ants) and got rid of webs and wasp nests on my house. I also wanted to mention that I have had a good experience with the office staff when I call. The lady that answers is always friendly and ready to help! I’m glad I switched pest companies because Larry’s Pest Control has been great thus far!
