Termite Control

Termite Control Services

After being in the business for many years, we as a team have noticed there are many myths, exaggerations, and half-truths floating around about termites. We want to provide the average homeowner with practical takeaways and answers to all the common (and not-so-common) questions.

In the vast majority of cases, new homes receive a termite treatment during construction that lasts anywhere from 6 months to 5 years, depending on application procedures, product quality, and environmental factors. For dry wood termite control, tenting and fumigating a structure is the most common treatment.

Although damage is caused by all, termites actually consume the wood they destroy. Termites and Carpenter ants are the biggest concerns to homeowners. All wood-destroying insects have the potential to cause structural damage, but most often their damage is merely cosmetic.

FAQ's About Termites

DO I HAVE TO LEAVE HOME FOR THE TREATMENT?
Only if a dry wood termite treatment is performed with a fumigant. In that case, you need to leave for a couple of days. Thankfully, the vase majority of termite issues are not from dry wood termites.
ARE THERE ANY HOME REMEDIES?
Before a home is built, termite resistant barriers such as uniform-sized particles and stainless steel screening can be installed between the home and the soil. When used as continuous horizontal barriers installed during pre-construction, these barriers withstood intensive foraging activities of several termite species under field conditions. However, these non-chemical barriers are not widely used at this time, so discuss options with building contractors. For homes without active termite barriers, preventing or reducing conducive conditions is the best organic option.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TREAT TERMITES?
This varies drastically depending on the size and type of the structure, type of treatment required, type of product used and type of warranty offered or selected. Treatment costs can vary from $600-$2,000+
WHAT TYPES OF HOMES REPAIRS ARE TYPICALLY NEEDED AFTER A TERMITE INFESTATION?

What People Think About Us

Three Main Species Threaten Residential Structures in the US:

SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES
(one-eight to one-half inch long)
Found in every state except Alaska. Subterranean termites are difficult to control considering they live beneath the soil. Subterranean termites can nest 20 feet below the ground with a foraging radius of 150 feet. An average-sized eastern subterranean colony contains about 300,000 workers. Laboratory studies suggest that a colony of this size can consume 1 foot of a 2×4 board in 16 days.
FORMOSAN TERMITES
(one-half inch long)
The Formosan termite is a type of subterranean termite that deserves its own attention. Formosan termites can cause major structural damage to a home in six months, and almost complete destruction within two years. Found in Hawaii and the Southeast, field colonies commonly extend into the millions, with a foraging radius over 300 feet. When compared to other termite species, Formosan termites generally cause more structural damage in a shorter period of time. These Formosan Termites are commonly referred to as a “Super Termite” because they are the most aggressive and potentially destructive termite species in the United States *A medium-sized colony of 3 million Formosan termites could eat one foot of a 2×4 board in only two days.
DRYWOOD TERMITES
(one-half inch long)
Primarily occurring in southeastern coastal states and up the coast of California. With very small colonies of up to 2500 termites, Drywood termites do not require contact with the soil for survival and do not require the same amount of moisture as do subterranean termites. External signs of damage are elusive with drywood termites. Often, the only obvious signs of infestation are little mounds of fecal pellets building up underneath the infested wood or the appearance of tiny “kick-out” holes in the surface of the wood. *Drywood termites used to be called “Furniture Termites” because colonies were often found in pieces of furniture. The concern for homeowners is structural damage that can occur after Drywood termites fly into the attic or second floor after swarming.

Our Method for Each Visit

GREETINGS & INSPECTION

Your technician will introduce himself, discuss the process, and check for pest activity.

TREATMENT

Rather than pumping loads of chemicals all over your house, we use a small amount of the best products in the right places.

REVIEW

Your technician will explain what was treated, share prevention tips, and provide a statement of the work performed.

NOTIFICATION IN ADVANCE

We call and/or email you about one week before your next appointment.

Understanding Our General Pest Control

EXTENDED PERIMETER GRANULES
Say goodbye to a line of dead bugs on your front porch. We go beyond typical pest control by spreading granules in the yard to provide an additional barrier. Our products do not harm the lawn, yet they effectively prevent pests from reaching your home.
PERIMETER LIQUID APPLICATION
We carefully apply the best products on the market in a way that seals the tiny insect entry points around the walls and foundation.
INTERIOR CRACK & CREVICE
Rather than spraying all of the floors and walls like some companies, we target pests where they hide. You will not need to leave the room.
EXCLUSION
For mice and a few other pests, excluding access to the home is always the preferred option. We will work with you to identify and fix pest entry points. For example, a little steel wool or caulking in the right crevice can go a long way.
WALL INJECTIONS
Many pests prefer safe harbor in moist, dark voids. If wet-wall pest activity is suspected, we will make an application in a safe manner inside the walls through existing holes around accessible plumbing.
SPOT TREATING
With advanced IPM, we do not need to lay a product down on every inch of your property to control the pests. If you need us to fix an ant hill in the back yard, some spiders on the kids play-place, or something of that nature, we will gladly perform a spot treatment at no charge on your next recurring visit.
ADVICE
At the conclusion of each service visit, your technician will provide you with a statement of the work performed and offer insightful tips you can apply to reduce future pest activity.
