Comprehensive Termite Control and Extermination

Termites are among the most destructive pests, causing billions of dollars in damage to homes and businesses each year. These wood-destroying insects feed on cellulose, which is found in wood, paper, and other organic materials. The most common species include subterranean termites, which build underground colonies and access structures through mud tubes, and drywood termites, which nest directly within wooden structures.

Because termites work silently and out of sight, they can cause extensive damage before homeowners even realize there’s a problem. Their activity weakens wooden beams, floor joists, and wall studs, leading to costly structural repairs. Signs of an infestation include hollow-sounding wood, blistering or peeling paint, discarded wings near windows and doors, and mud tubes along the foundation.

Termites are difficult to detect and even harder to eliminate without professional intervention. DIY methods often fail because they don’t address the root of the problem—the colony itself. Termites can remain hidden in walls, crawl spaces, and foundations, continuing to cause damage long after surface-level treatments wear off. Different species of termites require different treatment approaches.

Without proper identification and targeted treatments, infestations can persist, leading to ongoing structural damage. A professional termite extermination plan is essential for eliminating colonies and preventing future infestations. Left untreated, termites can compromise the integrity of your home, resulting in expensive repairs that homeowners’ insurance often does not cover.

Effective termite control requires a multi-step approach to eliminate active infestations and prevent future ones. Some of the most reliable termite treatment methods include:
