NORCROSS, GA, July 12, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Atlanta exterminators Team Pest USA wish to warn pool owners about the potential for summer insect damage to swimming pools.
Though pool owners are aware of the possibility of damage coming from water-borne pests like algae, most are unaware that both ants and termites can cause damage to your pool, especially during times of drought.
Ants and termites can both cause damage to vinyl pool linings by trying to bite through them to reach the water inside. This damage can be difficult to notice until it is extensive because the holes the ants and termites make in the lining can be very small--that is, until there are enough of them to create a noticeable hole or leak.
Ants can be a special problem for Atlanta pool owners because they are also very attracted to electricity. This means that ants enjoy going and colonizing the electric components of your pool system. Pool filters are favorite ant playgrounds, and they often will fill the filter with soil to create their nests and short out the filter pump by chewing on wires or just leaving a pile of dead ants that block the motor.
The only way to keep ants and termites away from your pool components is to bring out an experienced Atlanta pest control company like Team Pest USA. The Atlanta pest experts at Team Pest USA have the skill and know-how to treat your pool area for pests like ants and termites without damaging any of your pool components.
"It's important to prepare your pool for summer by having it treated for harmful insects like ants and termites," explains Brandon Pelfrey, owner of Team Pest USA. "If a pool isn't treated, homeowners may find themselves unable to enjoy their pool while they wait for repairs, and nobody wants that, especially in the hot Atlanta summer."
