When to Schedule a Termite Inspection

Protecting your home from termites begins with knowing when to have a professional inspection. Here’s when you should schedule a free termite inspection with Universal Pest & Termite:

Pictures of problem areas, if any
Estimates for our services, if recommended
An easy-to-read termite, moisture, and home inspection report

Annual Prevention

Spring Inspection: Schedule an annual inspection in early spring (March-May), as this is when termite swarms typically occur in Hampton Roads
After Heavy Rainfall: Periods of excessive moisture in your basement or crawl space create ideal conditions for termite activity
Before Purchasing a Home: Always have a termite inspection before finalizing any real estate transaction

Warning Signs That Require Immediate Attention

Swarming Termites: If you notice flying termites inside or around your home, especially after rainfall
Mud Tubes: Pencil-sized mud tunnels on foundation walls or exterior concrete, indicating a termite nest nearby
Frass: Small piles of what looks like sawdust or coffee grounds (termite droppings)

Hollow-Sounding Wood: Wooden structures that sound hollow when tapped, a sign of termite damage
Bubbling or Peeling Paint: Often indicates moisture damage that can attract termites and other pests
Discarded Wings: Small piles of wings near window sills, doorways, or light fixtures

Remember, termites cause over $5 billion in property damage annually in the United States, and most homeowners’ insurance policies don’t cover this damage. Regular termite inspections are your best defense against these silent destroyers.

Our thorough termite inspections include a complete evaluation of your home’s exterior and interior, including crawl spaces, basements, attics, and all wooden structures where pests might nest. After the inspection, we provide a detailed report of our findings and recommendations for any necessary termite treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Universal Pest & Termite different from other pest control companies in Virginia Beach?

Universal Pest & Termite stands out as a family-owned and operated pest control company with over 20 years of experience serving Hampton Roads communities. We differentiate ourselves through our integrated pest management approach that minimizes pesticide usage while maximizing effectiveness against insects, rodents, and wildlife. Our technicians are highly trained in the latest pest control techniques and use environmentally friendly products whenever possible.

Unlike many competitors in pest control Virginia, we offer unlimited free re-service visits with our protection plans and back all our pest control services with a no-hassle guarantee. With locations in Virginia Beach and Newport News, we provide responsive, localized service throughout the Hampton Roads area, including commercial pest control solutions for businesses.

How does your integrated pest management (IPM) approach work?

Our integrated pest management (IPM) approach is a comprehensive, environmentally sensitive strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests through a combination of techniques. Instead of immediately resorting to chemical treatments, our IPM process begins with a thorough inspection to identify pest entry points, conducive conditions, and current infestation levels. We then implement targeted solutions such as exclusion work (sealing cracks and gaps), habitat modification (addressing moisture issues or vegetation management that might harbor mosquitoes, ticks, or wasps), and strategic application of the safest effective treatments.

This multi-faceted approach not only eliminates existing pest problems but prevents future infestations while minimizing the amount of pesticide used in and around your home. Our IPM strategy is customized for each Hampton Roads property based on its unique characteristics and the specific pest challenges of coastal Virginia environments.

Are your pest control methods safe for children and pets?

Yes, the safety of your family, including children and pets, is our highest priority at Universal Pest & Termite. We utilize family-friendly and pet-safe pest control solutions that are effective against pests like ants, cockroaches, and rodents while posing minimal risk to humans and animals. Our technicians are extensively trained in the proper application techniques to ensure pesticide treatments are applied safely.

We primarily focus on exterior treatments to create a protective barrier that keeps pests out while limiting the need for interior applications. When interior treatments are necessary, we use targeted crack and crevice applications rather than broad spraying. We also offer completely green pest control options that use botanical-based products derived from plant oils for those who prefer environmentally friendly solutions. Our technicians will provide clear instructions on any precautions to take during and after treatment to ensure your family’s complete safety.

How do I know if I have termites or flying ants in my Virginia Beach home?

Distinguishing between termite swarmers and flying ants is crucial for proper pest management in Virginia Beach homes. Termites have straight antennae, uniform waist, and wings of equal length that are much longer than their body. Flying ants have bent antennae, pinched waists, and unequal wing pairs with the front wings longer than the rear wings. Termite wings break off easily and you may find piles of discarded wings near windows or light fixtures, which is a critical warning sign of termite activity.

In Hampton Roads’ humid coastal climate, both pests are common, but termites pose a far greater structural threat to your home. If you discover winged insects indoors, especially during spring swarm season (March through May in Virginia), contact Universal Pest & Termite immediately for a professional identification and thorough termite inspection to protect your property from potential damage. We offer free termite inspections to help homeowners identify these destructive pests before they cause significant damage.

What areas do you serve in Hampton Roads?

Universal Pest & Termite provides comprehensive pest control services throughout the entire Hampton Roads region of Virginia. Our service area includes Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Newport News, Chesapeake, Hampton, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Williamsburg, Yorktown, York County, Poquoson, and surrounding communities. With strategically located offices in Virginia Beach and Newport News, our technicians can efficiently service the Southside and Peninsula areas. We’re deeply familiar with the unique pest challenges of coastal Virginia’s climate and environment, from the waterfront properties in Norfolk to the historic areas of Williamsburg. Whether you’re dealing with termites in Chesapeake, ants in Virginia Beach, rodents in Newport News, bed bug control in Hampton, or any pest issue throughout Hampton Roads, our experienced local technicians are ready to provide prompt, effective pest control services with a free estimate.

What should I do if I see ants in my kitchen?

If you discover ants in your kitchen in Virginia Beach or Hampton Roads, it’s important to act quickly as ants can establish large colonies inside your walls and foundation. First, clean the area thoroughly with vinegar solution to remove the pheromone trails that ants use to communicate. Store food in airtight containers and keep counters, floors, and sinks clean and dry. While DIY ant baits may provide temporary relief, they rarely address the root colony or nest, which is why most homeowners experience recurring ant problems, especially during Virginia’s warm, humid months. For effective, long-term ant control, contact Universal Pest & Termite for our professional ant extermination service. Our experienced technicians will identify the specific ant species (whether carpenter ants, odorous house ants, or pavement ants common in Hampton Roads), locate nest locations, and implement targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony while establishing preventative barriers around your home.
