Miller Pest Solutions urges homeowners to act before termites turn small problems into expensive repairs

Des Moines, Iowa (March 2, 2026) – Termite Awareness Week returns March 1–7, 2026, and Miller Pest Solutions is joining the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) in educating homeowners about the serious threat termites pose to properties nationwide. Termites cause more than $6.8 billion in property damage each year, and most homeowners’ insurance policies don’t cover the cost.

“These voracious pests feed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so even a short delay can result in significantly more damage,” said Joel Miller, founder of Miller Pest Solutions. An annual professional assessment is the most effective way to protect your home and avoid costly repairs down the road.

Termites can quietly compromise a home’s structure long before any visible signs appear. These pests often work behind walls, under floors, or inside wood, making it easy for damage to progress unnoticed. By the time homeowners realize there’s a problem, repairs can already be significant.

Watch for These Early Warning Signs:
• Hollow-sounding or damaged wood
• Mud tubes along walls or foundations
• Discarded wings near doors or windows
• Bubbling or uneven paint resembling water damage

Identifying and treating termite activity isn’t something most homeowners can do alone. It requires licensed pest control professionals who know how to detect early signs and implement effective, long-lasting protection for your space. This Termite Awareness Week, safeguard your home and wallet. To schedule a termite assessment or learn more about prevention, visit https://www.millerthekiller.com/ or call 515-726-6645.
