Ants are very social insects, which is why they form massive colonies. The trouble comes when these ants decide to form their colonies on your property or worse, head indoors in search of food and water. Homes in Kansas City, Topeka and across Kansas are susceptible to ant infestations especially during the spring and summer when the temperatures are warm and homes are more open.
Perhaps one the biggest threats to the structural integrity of your Kansas home or business is an infestation of termites. These wood destroying pests are found across the country and while they are great decomposers in our forests, they will also attempt to feast on your home given the opportunity. With the spring season at our feet, now is the time when termite colonies in Kansas City, Topeka and throughout Kansas will become more active. So to help you better understand these destructive insects before they get to work, here are some common termite questions answered by the KS pest control professionals at Schendel Pest Services.
