FAQs

Common signs of termite infestation include:

• Hollow-sounding wood when tapped.

• Mud tubes on walls, beams, or foundations.

• Piles of wings left behind by swarmers (termites that reproduce).

• Small holes in wood or crumbling drywall.

• Discolored or sagging walls, floors, or ceilings.

If you notice any of these signs, you should immediately schedule an inspection with a professional.

Termites can cause severe structural damage. They feed on wood, often going undetected until the damage becomes extensive. If left untreated, termites can compromise the integrity of your home, potentially leading to costly repairs.

It's recommended to have your home inspected for termites at least once a year. Regular inspections can help detect infestations early, saving you from costly damages.

Contact a professional pest control service as soon as possible. Handling a termite infestation yourself can be ineffective and even worsen the situation. A licensed technician can adequately assess the severity of the infestation and recommend the best treatment.

The three most common types of termites in the U.S. are:

• Subterranean termites: The most destructive, these termites build mud tubes and live underground.

• Drywood termites: Found in warmer climates, these termites live directly in the wood and don't require contact with the soil.

• Dampwood termites: Typically found in damp or decaying wood, these termites thrive in moist conditions.

Professional termite treatments often include:

• Liquid treatments: A liquid barrier is applied around the perimeter of your home to prevent termites from entering.

• Baiting systems: Baits are strategically placed around the property to attract and eliminate termites.

• Wood treatments: Applying chemicals directly to wood structures to prevent or control infestations.

Our team will evaluate the infestation and, based on the type and extent of the termite problem, choose the best course of action.

The duration of termite treatments can vary. Some liquid treatments can last up to 5 years, while baiting systems may need regular monitoring and maintenance. Our technicians will provide a detailed plan to ensure long-lasting protection for your home.
