Termite Control

Termite DamageTermites cause billions of dollars of damage to homes throughout the united states every year, according to the National Pest Management Association. They work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, damaging the wood in and around a structure. Left untreated, termites in your home can cause major damage, and require expensive structural and cosmetic repairs.

Termite control should only be performed by a licensed pest control professional. Effective termite control is difficult or impossible for homeowners to achieve on their own.

Initially, your pest control professional will perform a thorough inspection to document the location and extent of infestation from termites. On completion, you will be presented with a comprehensive plan for controlling the termites in your home.

There may be several treatment options available for controlling termites in your home, depending on the species of termite, the location of infestation, and the type of construction in the home or building. These can include liquid termiticide application and/or termite baiting.

Preventative measures that you can take to prevent termites include removing conditions that are conducive to termite survival. Preventing moisture accumulation around the foundation of your home is your first line of defense. Areas of concern include:

  • properly functioning downspouts and gutters
  • proper crawl space ventilation
  • functioning crawl space vents, not obstructed by shrubs
  • removal of old form boards and stakes after construction
  • removal of old tree stumps and roots from around and beneath the building
  • elimination of all wood to ground contact
