Termite Control

Subterranean and drywood termites are structurally different problems, so the treatment plan branches early based on which one the inspection confirms. For subterranean termites, we work along the foundation perimeter and soil contact points, since that's the only path the colony has into the structure. For drywood termites, treatment has to reach inside the wood itself, since the colony never touches soil at all.

• Subterranean: a continuous treated zone is established in the soil along the foundation, either by trenching and rodding around the perimeter or by installing in-ground bait stations spaced at set intervals; stations are checked and refreshed on a recurring monitoring schedule until activity stops.
• Drywood: localized galleries get direct injection or foam treatment into the wood, targeting the specific section of framing, siding, or trim where activity was confirmed rather than the whole structure.
• Severe or widespread drywood cases that span multiple structural members may call for whole-structure fumigation, though most localized infestations don't require it.
• Follow-up monitoring visits track bait station activity or check treated wood for renewed frass and tubes, since termite colonies can take weeks to fully respond to bait.

Scope always follows the inspection: a single mud tube on an exterior slab gets a different response than active galleries found in three separate rooms, and the plan is scaled to match what's actually found rather than applying a fixed package to every job.

• EPA-registered non-repellent liquid soil termiticides for perimeter and foundation treatment
• In-ground bait stations with cellulose monitoring cartridges, checked on a recurring schedule
• Borate-based wood treatments for exposed or accessible framing as a preventive barrier
• Foam or direct-injection termiticide for treating galleries inside drywood-infested members
• Moisture meters and, where needed, infrared inspection tools to locate hidden activity behind walls and under flooring
• Whole-structure fumigation, reserved for extensive drywood infestations that localized treatment can't reach

Product choice depends on species and how far activity has spread, which is why the inspection findings drive the treatment plan rather than a standard package applied to every job.
