Termite Threats in Community Centers: Don't Let Age Invite Infestation

Termite Control, Termite Inspections, and Termite Damage Repair for community centers

Community Buildings Are Often Older

Many community centers, halls, and nonprofit buildings have served their neighborhoods for decades—but age brings vulnerability. Wood framing, hidden crawl spaces, and untreated structural components create a perfect habitat for termites. That’s why termite inspection is vital for these properties. Regular checks help identify risks early. Discover why early detection saves thousands and how termites might already be in your walls.

Watch Out for Swarm Season

Swarm season starts in the warmer months, and it’s when termites actively spread to form new colonies. If you notice winged insects flying indoors, don’t write them off as harmless. They could be a sign of active termite colonies in or around the building. Effective termite control during this season prevents colonies from taking hold. Learn about the impact of climate change on termite activity and explore the top methods for control.

Staff and Volunteers Can Catch It Early

You don’t need to be an expert to spot the early signs of termites. If someone notices soft wood, small mud tunnels, or a pile of wings near the walls, it’s time to act. Train your volunteers or maintenance staff to recognize these red flags and report them. Fast response leads to early termite damage repair, saving both time and money. Start with DIY prevention tips or partner with a professional team like Attack Pest Management.

What is the Four Season approach?

Our four season approach targets the seasonal pest problem locally in Southern California. Each season and climate triggers particular pests to be active and to look for harborage. However, it is common to see ants, spiders and rodents year round.

WINTER

Warmth indoors attracts pests into your living spaces; rain and cold weather drive ants, rodents, silverfish and spiders inside. Pests can also be brought inside on plants, firewood, and other items. Rodents are especially problematic due to colder temperatures outside.

SPRING

Warmer spring weather invites bees, Argentine ants into your home and yard. Other common spring pests include: termite swarmers, carpenter ants, fire ants, pill bugs, spiders, aphids, wasps, fleas, ticks, box elder bugs, gophers and moles.

SUMMER

High temperature is conducive for bees, wasps, and yellow jackets, as well as ants, earwigs, millipedes, crickets, springtails, brown widow spiders, black widow spiders and water beetles. The summer weather also spikes the activity of bed bugs, fleas, ticks and German cockroach, scorpions especially in new development areas and in homes located in foothill like surroundings.

FALL

As temperatures drop and cooler weather approaches, orb weaver, spiders, beetles, rodents, stink bugs, box elder beetles and other overwintering pests begin to move indoors . These pests use walls, voids, basements and attics as winter retreats. Termites are very active this time of the year, so too are gophers. It is particularly important to be on the lookout for droppings and gnaw marks, indicating rodent infestation. Rodent control and exclusion work begin to significantly trend up during the fall.
