We're sure you've heard a lot about termites, but how much do you really know about these insects? Termites are a large and very diverse group of insects, there are over 2,600 species, and in nature they are actually extremely beneficial. These tiny insects feed on the cellulose found in wood and help decompose tree stumps, fallen trees, dead bushes and other pieces of dead or decaying wood. This helps speed up the natural decaying process and return important nutrients to the soil so new plants can take root and grow.
Although the presence of mosquitoes and wasps may slowly begin to diminish throughout the autumnal season, many other pests can become a real threat in their place. Among them is a destructive pest that can potentially continue damaging your home year-round - the termite. At Emtec Pest Control, we are often asked by our customers whether termite control is necessary during the fall and winter months. To help shed some light on the situation, we have compiled a guide to help you understand what to expect and if the service is necessary.
There are so many things we love about Tulsa. From Philbrook, Cain's Ballroom and Guthrie Green to shopping in Utica Square, hiking at Turkey Mountain and eating at all the great restaurants, it really is a great place to live and work. It has all the benefits of a big city but yet has somehow managed to hang on to its small-town charm. On the other hand, Tulsa has some of the craziest weather in the country and we don't have to tell you that all that wacky weather can lead to some pest control problems for Tulsa home and business owners.
