Are termites common in Columbus?
Yes, termites are a well-known issue in Columbus. Central Ohio’s warm, humid summers create the moisture-rich soil and elevated humidity that termites need to thrive and expand their colonies. Many of the city’s older, wood-framed homes provide ample food sources, while leaks, poor drainage, and damp areas offer easy entry points. Since termite activity often remains hidden until significant damage has occurred, professional inspections and expert control services are essential to help protect your home and investment.
When is termite season in Columbus?
In Columbus, termite season typically begins in early spring and lasts through late summer. The most visible activity occurs in April, May, and June, when winged termites swarm to establish new colonies. However, swarming is only the activity you can see. Termites remain active year-round, quietly feeding on wood and soil and steadily undermining your home’s value. That’s why regular inspections and professional control services are so important for Columbus homeowners looking to prevent hidden termite infestations.
Are older homes in Columbus more susceptible to termite damage?
Yes, older homes in Columbus are often more vulnerable to termite damage. Many were built with wood frames and may have basements prone to moisture or foundations that have weakened over time, creating easy access points for termites. For homeowners in these properties, regular inspections and professional treatments are especially important to help protect both the structure and the value of the home.
Does homeowner’s insurance cover termite damage in Columbus?
No, homeowners’ insurance in Ohio typically does not cover termite damage. Insurance providers classify termite activity as a preventable maintenance issue rather than an unexpected event like a storm or fire. The best way to gain peace of mind is through proactive measures, including regular termite inspections and expert treatments when needed.
What is the most common type of termite in Columbus?
The most common type of termite in Columbus is the eastern subterranean termite. These termites live underground and make their way into wooden structures in homes, often causing damage quietly over time. Regular inspections can help homeowners catch infestations early and reduce the risk of serious damage.
Do the weather conditions in Columbus increase the risk of termites?
Yes, the weather in Columbus can increase the risk of termites. Warm, humid summers create moisture-rich soil that supports termite foraging and colony growth. Rain and melting snow can also add dampness around foundations and basements, making homes more vulnerable. Since these conditions occur throughout much of the year, regular inspections and preventive treatments are key to helping protect your home from costly infestations.
Do you offer termite inspections for real estate transactions in Columbus?
Absolutely. Moxie Pest Control works with buyers, sellers, and homeowners refinancing their property to deliver thorough termite inspections that meet all transaction requirements.
