Why termite control is essential in Kansas City
Kansas City's warm weather and humidity in the summer create an ideal environment for termites to thrive. And even though it gets cold in the winter and termites slow down, they do not completely disappear. These destructive pests are constantly active, working around the clock to damage homes and businesses. Termites can cause significant structural damage without proper protection, often leading to costly repairs that most homeowners insurance policies don't cover.
Miller Pest & Termite provides advanced termite control solutions to safeguard your Kansas City property, whether you're currently dealing with an infestation or want to prevent one.
Subterranean termite damage in Kansas City
Eastern subterranean termites can be a sneaky problem for Kansas City homeowners. These termites work quietly, often out of sight, causing damage to the wood in your home. They chew through beams, floorboards, and other building materials, leaving behind hollowed-out wood and thin, papery surfaces that can crumble when touched. You might not notice signs of termite activity at first, but telltale signs like the ones mentioned in the next section may indicate a problem. Termite damage can weaken the structural integrity of your home, so catching them early is key to avoiding costly repairs.
While specific figures for Kansas City are not readily available, termites cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage annually across the United States. And since Kansas City is in a moderate to heavy zone on the termite infestation probability map, it’s clear there is a significant risk of termite activity, particularly from subterranean termites.
Signs of a termite infestation
Detecting termite activity can be tricky, as it often occurs out of sight. Here are some key signs to watch for:
- Mud Tubes: Pencil-thin tubes are a classic sign of termites and often show up along foundation walls, basement walls, crawl spaces, floor joists and sills, plumbing penetrations, and exterior walls.
- Hollow Wood: Wood that sounds hollow when tapped could mean termites are inside.
- Swarmers: Winged termites swarming near windows or lights, especially in spring after a heavy rain, indicate a nearby colony. If winged termites appear in the house, it suggests that termites have already infested the structure.
If you spot any signs, act quickly by scheduling a termite inspection with Miller Pest & Termite.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kansas City Termite Control FAQs
Eastern subterranean termites are the most common in Kansas City. These termites live in underground colonies with thousands or millions of termites.
Like other insects, termites exploit cracks in the foundation, gaps around utility entrances, and direct contact with wood that touches the soil.
Termites are most active during the warmer months, particularly in spring when swarming occurs and summer when the weather is mild. However, subterranean termites can remain active year-round and live in soil-protected environments. Unfortunately, they also take advantage of warm homes and shelter indoors.
