My Pest Pros Encourages Homeowners to Protect Their Homes Before Termites Cause Costly Repairs

Fairfax, VA (March 2, 2026) – Termite Awareness Week returns March 1–7, 2026, and My Pest Pros is joining the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) in raising awareness about the significant damage termites cause to homes each year. Termites are responsible for more than $6.8 billion in property damage annually in the United States, and most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover the repairs.

“Termites work quietly and consistently, often without any immediate visible signs,” said Brett Lieberman, Founder of My Pest Pros. “Because they feed around the clock, even a short delay in detection can lead to extensive structural damage. A professional inspection is one of the most reliable ways to protect your investment.”

Virginia’s, Maryland’s, and Washington D.C.’s moisture-rich climate can create favorable conditions for subterranean termites, particularly around foundations, crawl spaces, and wood-to-soil contact areas. Without regular inspections, damage can progress before homeowners realize there’s an issue.

Watch for These Early Warning Signs:

  • Hollow-sounding or damaged wood
  • Mud tubes along foundations or crawl space supports
  • Discarded wings near windows or doors
  • Bubbling or blistering paint that resembles water damage

Professional termite inspections help detect activity early and provide targeted treatment solutions designed specifically for South Atlantic homes.

This Termite Awareness Week, My Pest Pros encourages homeowners in Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., and surrounding communities to take a proactive approach to prevention.
