How Our Termite Treatment Process Works

We understand that whole-house fumigation is not always the preferred option. In many cases, localized or spot treatments can effectively control drywood termites when the infestation is confined to specific areas.

Spot treatments are applied directly to affected wood or targeted sections of the structure. Advances in termite control technology allow us to use non-repellent products that penetrate and crystallize within the wood, providing residual protection while remaining undetectable to termites.

These treatments can be less disruptive, more cost-effective, and allow homeowners to remain in the home during treatment.

Even after treatment, termites can return if preventive measures are not taken. We offer preventive wood treatments using a non-corrosive borate mineral salt that penetrates deep into the wood and remains effective for years.

This treatment is applied to exposed wood in areas such as attics, sub-areas, wall voids, and soffits, creating long-lasting residual protection against drywood termites.

Preventive treatments are especially beneficial during new construction or remodeling projects. The product contains no VOCs, allowing application without disrupting construction crews, and can be applied at various stages of the building process.

Subterranean termites live in the soil and require consistent contact with moisture to survive. They typically build mud tubes from the ground into a structure to access wood while protecting themselves from predators and dehydration.

In rare situations, subterranean termites may establish colonies without direct soil contact if alternative moisture sources are present, making professional evaluation essential.

Control of subterranean termites focuses on creating a protective barrier between the structure and the termite colony. This is commonly achieved through:

• Liquid soil treatments that establish a continuous insecticide barrier around and beneath the structure
• Termite baiting systems installed in the ground, which termites feed on and share with the colony, leading to population control over time

Your inspector will recommend the most effective treatment method based on your property’s construction, soil conditions, and level of activity.
