There was also an opening on the side of the crawl space vent too. We informed the owner and he mentioned that, once the mice are gone, he's going to hire a contractor to replace the vent and seal that opening.
After a thorough inspection of the exterior and the crawl space, we noticed that the foundation vent grates had large openings in it with no screening.
Continuing our inspection, we found another burrow on the other side of the building by the downspout and another one a few feet away.
As we began inspecting the exterior of the home, we came across a trail of ants on the side of the home. So we followed their trail...
The termite colonies send their "explorers", also referred to as swarmers, in search of a hospitable building. Unlike other termites in a colony, swarmers are attracted to light. For this reason, these termites are often found on the inside of windows in a structure that has an active infestation. They want to be outside in the bright sun, not inside the dim interior of a home or business. Termite swarmers also shed their wings during the mating process.
Apparently, the previous owner wasn't too keen on sanitation as almost ever area in the kitchen was loaded with grease and food debris. This lead to a hefty cockroach infestation!
When drilling, it's imperative that we space the holes at least 15-18 inches apart. This ensures that the treatment has room to spread out and increases the chance that the termites will walk through the application.
The first thing we did was carefully clean up all the droppings throughout the basement. Once we were finished, we installed several Ready-to-Use rodent bait stations throughout the basement and along the exterior of the home.
