Are termites a big problem in Cincinnati?
Yes, termites are a serious concern in Cincinnati and throughout Ohio. The most common species here is the Eastern subterranean termite, which lives in underground colonies and feeds on wood around the clock. Because these termites often remain hidden until structural damage becomes extensive, they can cause costly repairs if left unchecked. Professional termite inspections and treatments are the best way to detect colonies early and protect your home from long-term damage.
When is termite season in Cincinnati?
In Cincinnati, termite season usually starts in spring when termites swarm to form new colonies. Swarming most often occurs between April and June, especially on warm days after rainfall. While swarms are the most noticeable sign of termites, these insects remain active underground and inside wood throughout the year, which means they can cause damage well beyond the spring season. Scheduling regular inspections is the best way to catch problems early and protect your home from costly repairs.
Are older homes in Cincinnati more likely to get termites?
Yes, older homes in Cincinnati are often more susceptible to termite problems. With age, wood can weaken, crack, or hold moisture, creating conditions that termites are quick to exploit. Many older homes were also built without today’s preventative materials or construction practices, making them easier targets. Regular inspections and preventative treatments are especially important for protecting aging properties from termite damage.
Does homeowner’s insurance cover termite damage in Cincinnati?
No, standard homeowner’s insurance does not cover termite damage. Insurance providers consider termite damage preventable through proper maintenance and inspections, so repairs are typically the homeowner’s responsibility. Because termites can cause costly structural issues if left unchecked, scheduling regular professional inspections and treatments is the best way to help protect your home before damage occurs.
What types of termites are most common in Cincinnati?
In Cincinnati, the most common termites are subterranean termites. These termites live in underground colonies and build mud tubes to travel to food sources, often reaching wooden structures without being noticed. Because they feed constantly and stay hidden inside soil and wood, they can cause significant damage before homeowners realize there’s a problem. Regular professional inspections are the most reliable way to detect termite activity early and avoid costly repairs.
Do the weather conditions in Cincinnati increase the risk of termites?
Yes. Cincinnati’s climate—warm summers, steady rainfall, and periods of high humidity—creates favorable conditions for termites. Moist soil and damp wood provide the environment they need to build colonies and feed, while spring rains often trigger swarming activity. Even when swarms aren’t visible, termites remain active underground and inside wood year-round, which means they can cause damage at any time. Regular professional inspections are the best way to stay ahead of termite problems in Cincinnati homes.
Do you offer termite inspections for real estate transactions in Cincinnati?
Yes. We provide termite inspections for real estate transactions in Cincinnati and the surrounding area. Our licensed Field Experts carefully examine the property for signs of termite activity, damage, or conditions that could make the structure vulnerable. After the inspection, we provide a detailed report that buyers, sellers, or agents can use during the closing process.
