Be Aware! Dengue Fever is on the rise in South FL - protect your home against Mosquitos by Scheduling your next spray
When you look at your yacht, you can’t help but marvel at its strength, durability, and beauty. Although parts of its exterior hull are mostly made of hardwood, the interior portions of your yacht are often made of softer wood. In case you’re not aware, termites don’t think twice before deciding to make their homes in its interior portion. Those pesky termites wreak havoc on your yacht by causing catastrophic damage to its wooden structural supports and its hardwood sections. If you have a termite problem, it’s best to call for yacht pest control West Palm Beach.
When it comes to yachts, drywood termites reign supreme. Instead of coming up from the soil to attack, they fly in and establish themselves in your vessel’s hardwood. Portions of vessels that aren’t near the water often fall prey to their kind. On the other hand, subterranean termites are attracted to a vessel’s soft interior wood. However, if conditions are right, they won’t resist the urge to attack hardwoods as well. If you think that these termites are only interested in the wooden sections of your yacht, think again. A termite infestation can also take place on ropes, canvas, and even navigational charts.
Vessels that are entirely made of fiberglass are not prone to termite infestation. However, if these fiberglass vessels have any wood-based backing, termites can still show up and attack it. Keep in mind that wood-based products have cellulose material in them and these pests can break down anything that contains cellulose.
