PCI Pest Control Encourages Washington Homeowners to Protect Their Homes Before Termites Cause Costly Repairs
Olympia, Washington (March 2, 2026) – Termite Awareness Week returns March 1–7, 2026, and PCI Pest Control is joining the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) in raising awareness about the significant damage termites cause to homes each year. Termites are responsible for more than $6.8 billion in property damage annually in the United States, and most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover the repairs.
“Termites work quietly and consistently, often without any immediate visible signs,” said Matt Purcell, president and owner of PCI Pest Control. “Because they feed around the clock, even a short delay in detection can lead to extensive structural damage. A professional inspection is one of the most reliable ways to protect your investment.”
Washington’s moisture-rich climate can create favorable conditions for subterranean termites, particularly around foundations, crawl spaces, and wood-to-soil contact areas. Without regular inspections, damage can progress before homeowners realize there’s an issue.
Watch for These Early Warning Signs:
- Hollow-sounding or damaged wood
- Mud tubes along foundations or crawl space supports
- Discarded wings near windows or doors
- Bubbling or blistering paint that resembles water damage
Professional termite inspections help detect activity early and provide targeted treatment solutions designed specifically for Pacific Northwest homes.
This Termite Awareness Week, PCI Pest Control encourages homeowners in Olympia and surrounding communities to take a proactive approach to prevention. To schedule a termite inspection or learn more about protecting your home, visit www.pci-pest-control.com or call 360-972-3650.
