If so, the Field Expert will provide clear guidance on re-entry times. We take a safety-minded approach and prioritize the well-being of your household at every step.
Are termites a big problem in Indianapolis?
Yes. Termites are a known concern for homeowners around Indianapolis. The region’s spring rains, humid summers, and moderate winters create favorable conditions for termite activity. Homes with wood-to-soil contact, persistent moisture problems, aging structures, or wood framing face a higher risk. Because termite damage often goes unnoticed until it becomes serious, regular inspections and professional preventative treatments are recommended.
When is termite season in Indianapolis?
In Indianapolis, termite season typically starts in spring and lasts through summer. Swarming activity—when winged termites leave the colony to form new ones—usually occurs between April and June, often triggered by warming temperatures and increased rainfall. However, termites can remain active underground beyond the swarming period, especially during warmer months. Scheduling an inspection in early spring is a proactive way to detect any issues before they worsen.
Are older homes in Indianapolis more likely to get termites?
Yes, older homes in Indianapolis are generally more susceptible to termite activity. Many were built with untreated wood and may have structural wear, moisture issues, or cracks that develop over time, all of which can create conditions that support termite colonies. Without the benefit of modern building materials or soil treatments used in newer construction, these homes can face a higher risk. Regular inspections and preventative treatments are key to catching issues early and helping prevent long-term damage.
Does homeowners insurance cover termite damage in Indianapolis?
No, most homeowners insurance policies in Indianapolis do not cover termite damage. Insurance providers typically consider termite issues to be preventable through ongoing maintenance, which makes treatment and repairs the homeowner’s responsibility. Many Indianapolis homeowners choose to schedule regular inspections and preventative treatments to help avoid costly out-of-pocket repairs.
What type of termite is most common in Indianapolis?
The most common termite species in the Indianapolis area is the Eastern subterranean termite. Thriving in Indiana’s temperate, moisture-rich environment, this species lives in soil-based colonies and builds “mud tubes” to access wood in structures. They’re active year-round below the frost line and are responsible for nearly all termite damage reported in the state. While other species such as drywood termites may occasionally appear, they are far less common in this region. Because Eastern subterranean termites often stay hidden until damage becomes extensive, regular inspections are especially important for early detection and prevention.
Do the weather conditions in Indianapolis increase the risk of termites?
Yes, the weather conditions in Indianapolis can contribute to a higher risk of termite activity. The city experiences warm, humid summers and consistent precipitation, which create the moist soil conditions that subterranean termites need to survive and spread. Even during colder months, termites can remain active underground below the frost line. These year-round conditions make regular inspections and preventative treatments an important part of home maintenance in the Indianapolis area.
