Some bugs tend to disappear during winter in order to hibernate. Does this include termites? Unfortunately, termites don’t go into hibernation in winter, so you could end up needing pest control in Monmouth County to handle an infestation this time of year.
Winter Workers
Termites don’t stop to rest when it’s cold outside. While other bugs settle in for the season, these bugs remain active. You’re probably not going to see any termites wandering around your home this time of year, but that doesn’t mean your home is safe from them. Termites continue feeding on wood in warm areas, such as inside walls, which means that they could be causing damage to your home all season long.
Outdoor Shelter
What about termites that are outdoors? Some species end up going deeper into the ground during winter in order to avoid the cold air. Doing this keeps them safe from freezing temperatures and snow. When the weather warms up again, these termites will head higher up underground again and get to work finding food sources that could include wood inside your home. You might also see these bugs in wood piles on your property, so store firewood away from your home.
