(NewsUSA) - Signs of spring often include flowers sprouting out of the ground, leaves emerging on trees, increased animal activity and a general feeling of renewal. However, one of the more unpleasant signs that spring has sprung is the emergence of termites. As this is the time of year termites come out in search of a new habitat, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has declared March 25-29 Termite Awareness Week. This designation serves to warn homeowners about termite dangers and to educate them about ways to ensure their home isn't the next feeding ground for these voracious pests.
"As many homeowners typically take stock of their homes in the spring time and plan for improvement projects, the NPMA has designated this week after the official start of the season as the perfect time to inform them about why their homes may be vulnerable to termites and how to protect their most expensive investments," noted Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for NPMA.
