Why You Need A Professional Termite Inspection In Spring And Early Summer

As a pest control expert with years of experience protecting homes in the Greater Philadelphia area, I can’t stress enough how important it is to schedule a professional termite inspection—especially during Spring and early Summer. These months mark the peak termite season, and catching these destructive pests early can save you thousands in repair costs.

Termites Are Most Active in Spring and Early Summer
During the warmer months, termites become highly active. Spring is the prime time for termite swarms, when reproductive termites leave their colonies in search of new nesting sites—often in or around your home. If you’ve noticed flying termites, discarded wings, or hollow-sounding wood, these could be warning signs of an active infestation.

Subterranean termites, the most common species in the Philadelphia area, live underground and can enter your property through the smallest cracks. They feed silently on wooden structures 24/7, often going undetected for months or even years without a thorough termite inspection.

Why You Shouldn’t DIY Termite Inspections
While it may be tempting to try a do-it-yourself inspection, termite detection requires professional training, tools, and expertise. At Evans Pest Control, our licensed technicians know exactly where to look and how to detect even the early signs of termite activity.

Our termite inspection services include:

Termite Damage Is Costly—and Often Not Covered by Insurance
Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage each year, and most home insurance policies do not cover termite damage. That’s why scheduling an annual termite inspection in spring is one of the smartest preventive steps you can take.

A professional inspection is a small investment that provides peace of mind and can help you avoid massive repair bills in the future.
