Termites are stealthy invaders that can silently destroy your home. These pests consume wood and other organic materials, slowly weakening your property’s structure. If left untreated, termites can lead to expensive and extensive damage. How do you secure your house against these quiet pests? The solution is in full-termite pest control. With solutions varying from termite inspection services to subterranean termite treatment, drywood termite control, and termite damage repair, you can act today to protect your house against these destructive insects.
The first and foremost measure in the direction of termite control is inspection. Termite inspection is necessary to locate any signs of termite infestation. Homeowners usually don't notice termite infestations until damage is evident, and that is usually too late. Early detection is crucial.
A professional checkup involves the examination of all equipment in your house. Techs will verify:
The inspection will also reveal the most important indicators of termites, including mud tubes, sound-sapping wood, or shed wings. Our professionals understand where to check and how to detect the early indicators that the inexperienced eye tends to miss. Once we've established that termites are present, we can decide on the most effective method of treatment.
After the inspection, now it is time to treat the infestation. Subterranean termites are one of the most common termite species in the United States. Subterranean termites exist in the ground and prefer to build mud tubes to travel from the ground level to your house's structure.
Subterranean termite control is the creation of a barrier around the house. This barrier comes in the form of liquid termiticides or bait systems. Liquid termiticides are sprayed around the house foundation in a form that is termite-impenetrable. This is to ensure that they cannot find their way into your house.
Alternatively, bait stations can be positioned around the perimeter of your property. The bait stations lure termites in and poison them once they have ingested the bait. They transport the poison back to the colony as they head back, which eliminates the entire colony. Both are extremely effective at eliminating future infestations.
Drywood termites don't need to be in contact with the earth, unlike subterranean termites. Drywood termites infest dry wood directly and, as a result, are more difficult to find and destroy. They can destroy furniture, beams, and even the internal structure of your house.
Drywood termite control is usually done through fumigation. It means the house is tented and sealed with a gas that penetrates through the wood and kills the termites. Fumigation is an extremely effective way of eliminating drywood termites in the whole house.
For local infestations, our professionals apply targeted solutions like heat treatment or liquid termiticides that concentrate on specific elements of your house without the use of fumigation. These treatments are perfect for small infestations that limit to some wooden elements.
Whichever method is used, the drywood termites need to be treated as soon as possible to prevent further destruction. The longer they get to stay without being treated, the more destruction they will cause, and the more expensive it will be to repair.
Once termites have been eradicated, restoration of the damage caused by them is necessary. Restoration of termite damage is a critical part of pest control. Even after eradicating them, you will likely need to rebuild the structural components of your house that have been damaged.
Typical termite infestation forms are:

1. How do I know if I have termites?
Search for evidence such as hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes on the wall, or shed wings. If you see any of these, it's time to call in the professionals.

The duration of treatment will be based on the severity of the infestation. Subterranean treatments would last several hours, while drywood termite fumigation would last several days.
