Termite Control and Prevention
Professional Termite Control Services
As a leader in pest control services, we understand the importance of protecting your property from the devastating effects of termite infestations. Our goal is to keep your property termite-free.
Understanding Termites
Termites are highly organized social insects that thrive on cellulose-rich materials such as wood and paper. They play a vital role in breaking down dead trees and decaying plant matter in the ecosystem. However, when they infest our homes and structures, they can cause significant structural damage, leading to costly repairs.

Signs of Termite Infestation
Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites construct mud tubes that provide them with moisture and protection while they travel between their nest and food source.
Discarded Wings: Swarmers, the reproductive members of the termite colony, shed their wings after finding a new location to establish a colony.
Hollowed Wood: Termites eat wood from the inside out, leaving a hollowed or damaged appearance.
Frass: Drywood termites push their excrement, known as frass, out of tiny holes near the infested area.
Noises in Walls: Soldier termites can create a tapping sound as they communicate by tapping their heads against tunnel walls.
Effective Termite Control Strategies
Regular Inspections
Schedule annual termite inspections with our professional pest control experts to detect early signs of infestation. Early detection can prevent extensive damage and save you money.
Bait Stations
Strategically place bait stations around your property. Termites consume the bait and bring it back to the colony, effectively eliminating the entire nest.
Wood Treatment
Apply wood treatments or finishes that contain borate, a natural insecticide that deters termites from infesting wood.
Soil Treatment
Create a chemical barrier around your property by applying termiticides to the soil. This prevents termites from entering your building.
Moisture Control
Termites thrive in moist environments. Address leaks and ensure proper ventilation to reduce excess moisture in your home.
Preventive Measures
Regular Maintenance
Keep your property well-maintained. Trim shrubs and trees away from the structure to eliminate potential termite entry points.
Remove Dead Wood
Dispose of dead trees, stumps, and wood debris near your property, as they can attract termites.
