When the weather is warm and you own a yacht, hitting the water as frequently as you can is the most logical thing you can do. Unfortunately, termites thrive in warm weather – and the last thing you need is a termite infestation that cuts your yachting adventures short. Termites won’t stop chomping away until you do something to shorten their stay aboard your mighty vessel. The best thing you can do for this situation is to enlist the help of a yacht pest control West Palm Beach service provider.
Termites love to eat wood and other dead plant material. If your yacht contains wood, these pests wouldn’t hesitate to attack it, including your wood trim and your wooden interior. As soon as termites reach their reproductive age, they leave their nests to look for another termite to mate with so that they could establish another new colony. When they take flight as a group, most people call it “swarming”. Swarming usually takes place when the temperature is really warm. When your vessel is moored next to a termite-infested boat or an area where swarming occurs, you can be sure that it’s just going to be a matter of time before those pests find their way into your yacht.
Spotting a termiteinfestation is easy because there are a couple of unmistakable signs that youneed to keep an eye out for. First, you need to check for the presence of smallparticles or pellets called frass near wooden surfaces. Although they look a lotlike wood shavings, these pellets are theirfecal matter.
