GOT TERMITES? The termite is a small, but nefarious enemy to homeowners everywhere. These little critters are responsible for over $2.5 billion in damages to homes annually. They make their way into the hidden recesses of a dwelling via foundation posts or sill plates, or through crawl spaces or attics. They then tunnel their way into the wood and sheetrock and begin destroying the structure from the inside out. Early detection is the key to eliminating this pesky and costly problem. Since termites operate out of eyesight, underneath the surface of walls, floors, and so on, confirming their presence can be tricky work.
ENTER THE TERMITE DETECTION DOG! These crafty canines are trained and able to detect the specific chemical odors that termites use to communicate with one another. These chemicals are known as pheromones. As termites are blind, they must depend on these chemicals and the odor they give off to "speak" to one another. Once they have located a "meal", the termites them leave a trail of these pheromones that can be detected and followed by other termites. Termite Detection Dogs are able to verify the presence of termites in a structure and pinpoint their exact location by sniffing out the scent of the pheromones and determining where the odour becomes more pronounced, indicatiing a great number of termites. Even better, they are able to do so long before the termites are able to cause significant damage to the structure.
Termite Detection Dogs are a much-preferred method of termite discovery as they can identify the presence of the pests without invasive measures. No damage has to be done within the structure in order to determine whether termites are present. These dynamic doggies and their superior sniffers easily indicate their presence so they can then be dealt with quickly and efficiently before they cause permanent damage.
