If you’re a homeowner in Roanoke or Salem, Virginia, chances are termite control is not top of mind in January or February. But it should be.

Termites, especially the subterranean termites common to the Roanoke Valley, are active year-round. That means they’re capable of causing damage at any time. However, the winter months offer some unique advantages that make the mid-winter months the perfect time for termite control. Keep reading to learn why termite control should be at the top of your to-do list this winter.

Why Is Winter the Best Time for Termite Control in the Roanoke Valley?

Winter is a great time for termite prevention.

The cold temperatures mean that these destructive pests slow down and seek warmth underground or in heated buildings. Professional exterminators can take advantage of diminished termite activity in a number of ways.

• Termites dig deeper and stay closer to nests, making inspections and prevention treatments more straightforward.
• Termites don’t swarm in the winter. The decreased activity makes it easier for exterminators to find hidden colonies.
• Even though activity slows, existing termites can do damage in low temperatures. Peak warm season only ramps up their destruction. Catching problems early mitigates increased damage in the spring.
