Ensure Scorpions and Pests Do Not Get Into Your Home
November 16th, 2010
It is often difficult to fully inspect houses, which is required when treating for pests in a home. To be 100% sure that pests do not have access to your home; furniture, stored goods, carpet, insulation, etc. would need to be removed, which is obviously impossible.
We use an Infrared (IR) Camera to locate areas that are hot or cool, allowing us to diagnose a potential issue before it becomes a serious problem. Concerning pest control, we utilize thermal imaging to discover gaps in your home’s envelope that allow pests to access the interior.
Thermal Imaging is the latest tool to aid the detection of accessible areas for pests in walls, under floors, and ceiling cavities.
Thermal Imaging Can:
Conduct non invasive, non-destructive inspections
Reduce time in trying to locate openings and threats
Allow the technician to pinpoint areas of suspicion
Assists in determining a more accurate treatment procedure

Deter Termites from Damaging Your Home
October 25th, 2010
Certain conditions make a location attractive to termites, reduce the chances of infestation by making the following steps.
- Keeping pipes and air-conditioning units in good repair as well as sealing pipes
- Keeping water away from the foundation and removing standing water from roofs
- Getting rid of excess plant cover and wood mulch around the house foundation
- Keep crawl spaces clear of lumber and paper and do not keep firewood around or outside the house
Obvious signs of termite infestation include.
- Wall cracks or blistered wooden areas in the home, like a floor, wall, window frame, or stud
- Narrow mud tubes along the base of the house
- Piles of seed-like pellets along a wall
- Termite swarms in or near a building, or shedded wings from flying termites
If Infestation Occurs, rely on Cummings Termite & Pest Control to assess and present the most effective treatment for maximum protection of your home.
Cummings utilizes non-repellant chemistry to control termites. Termidor®, the termiticide we utilize, is designed to sneak into the soil undetected by the termites. This allows the termites to move through the termiticide, picking up the active ingredient and carrying it back down into the colony, thus killing it from the inside out.
