Your Lake Home Is More Than Property. It Is Legacy.

For many families around Lake James, Jimmerson Lake, Snow Lake, and the greater Angola area, lake homes are not just structures. They are gathering places. Holiday traditions. Long summer evenings. A place grandchildren will one day inherit.

What many homeowners do not realize is that termite damage often begins quietly and invisibly. By the time it is discovered, structural damage can already be extensive.

Subterranean termites thrive in moisture rich environments. Homes near water, wooded lots, or former farmland can present increased conducive conditions.

They work behind walls, beneath floors, and under slabs. Silent. Hidden. Persistent.

Annual professional termite inspections:

• Detect early activity before structural damage occurs
• Preserve warranty eligibility
• Provide documented structural assessment
• Protect long term property value

A lake home is a significant financial asset. It deserves consistent monitoring and professional oversight.

Do not wait until damage becomes visible.

Call Summit City Pest Control at 260-451-0097 or text 260-467-3394 to schedule your termite inspection.

Regular inspection fee is $189. During Termite Awareness Week, March 1 through March 7, schedule your inspection and receive a one time $100 savings. Not valid for real estate transaction inspections.

At minimum, every lake home should be inspected annually for these silent destroyers.

Why Termites Need Soil

Moisture Drives Infestation

Did you know Eastern Subterranean Termites cannot survive without moisture?

Because they are soft-bodied insects, they must remain connected to soil or a consistent moisture source. That is why they construct mud tubes along foundations, block walls, and support piers.

Common local risk factors include but are not limited to:

• Wood-to-soil contact
• Poor drainage around the foundation
• Crawlspaces without v***r barriers
• Untreated structural wood

Professional inspections identify conducive conditions before termites identify your home.

Prevention is far less expensive than repair.

TeWhat You Don’t See Can Cost You

Eastern Subterranean Termites in Northeast Indiana

Did you know termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage annually in the United States?

Here in Indiana, the primary species we encounter is the
Eastern Subterranean Termite (Reticulitermes flavipes).

These termites live underground in colonies that can contain hundreds of thousands of workers. They build concealed mud tubes to access structural wood while maintaining moisture and protection from light.

Most homeowners never see them until structural damage has already occurred.

Termites feed continuously. They do not sleep. They do not take seasons off.

Your home is likely your largest investment. So WHY Not Protect it?
