Happy Termite Awareness Week!

March 10, 2016 by CORTEVA AGRISCIENCE Industry

Termite Awareness Week, held March 13-19, helps bring attention to the extensive damage done by termites. As spring approaches, it’s time to step up our efforts to bring termite education to consumers and highlight the steps they can take to prevent termite infestations.Termite Awareness Week logo

To celebrate the fifth annual Termite Awareness Week, these social media posts about the Sentricon® System can be shared on your own personal or business accounts with homeowners. As a pest management professional, it’s your job to educate.

There are seven Facebook posts below — one for each day of the week. Copy and paste the text, and right-click to save the images. Pick and choose posts as you wish! We’d love to be a part of your social media efforts for Termite Awareness Week. Tag us on Facebook (@Sentricon) to let us know you’re using these posts.

Know the difference between an ant and a termite by looking closely at these 3 things: antennae, waist and wings.

Termites have straight antennae, a broad waist and two sets of wings of equal length. Ants have bent antennae and a pinched waist, and their sets of wings are different lengths. #TermiteWeek

Did you know that termite damage is rarely covered by homeowners insurance? You may want to call your insurance company or check your policy. #TermiteWeek

Termites can burrow into woodpiles and then right into your house. #TermiteWeek

For other pests, you may be able to get away with using DIY products, but termites are not easy to detect. Leave this one up to the professionals or you could be dealing with thousands of dollars in termite damage. #TermiteWeek

Don’t leave old tree stumps in the yard. Dead trees are desirable to termites — almost as desirable as your house. Stumps in your yard can serve as a launch pad for an attack on your home. #TermiteWeek

Termite control is not like fixing a leaky faucet. Fail to do it right and you and your home most likely will pay the price. Leave it to the professionals. #TermiteWeek
