Termites may not be the first pest you think of when the leaves start to fall, but don’t let cooler temps fool you. Fall termite control is just as important as spring or summer. Termite activity doesn’t stop with the changing seasons—and early fall is one of the most overlooked times for spotting the subtle signs of damage.
Why Fall Termite Control Matters
-
-
They’re still active. Subterranean termites in Ohio remain busy year-round as long as the soil doesn’t freeze.
-
They go deeper. As temperatures drop, termites retreat underground or into the structure of your home—where it’s warm and humid.
-
Damage continues silently. Termites chew through wood 24/7, and infestations often go unnoticed until serious damage is done.
-
