Drywood Termite Control

An effective method for detecting the presence of drywood termites involves examining for what is known as Termite frass consists of solid, often multi-colored excrement produced by these insects. It can resemble miniature mounds of soil and is typically found indoors, often against walls or on windowsills within your home.

If a colony is in the attic or ceiling of your home, the frass may fall onto the floor or carpet in the middle of the room below.

When a drywood termite colony matures, which takes three to five years, termites with wings may begin to appear.

Drywood Termite Control Methods

With recent advancements in termite control technology, fumigation is no longer the sole solution for eradicating termites from your residence. In cases where the termite infestation remains localized and relatively small, we proudly offer a convenient alternative known as our no-tent termite control option.

During a thorough inspection of your home, if we identify the presence of a drywood termite colony, our approach entails pinpointing specific areas of termite activity and applying our specialized treatment directly into the concealed termite galleries found within window frames, door frames, and the walls of your home. In addition, we employ a borate-based dust application in your attic.

Through the strategic injection of an expanding termiticide foam into these active zones, the applied product seamlessly infiltrates the active drywood termite galleries. As termites inadvertently come into contact with this treatment inside your walls, they unwittingly transfer the termiticide to the remainder of the colony, including the queen.

Not only does our no-tent method of termite control tend to be more cost-effective than traditional tent fumigation, but it also eliminates the need for your family or pets to vacate the premises for any duration. Furthermore, the extensive preparation typically required for termite tenting, such as food bagging and adjustments to screens and fences, is entirely unnecessary. Your convenience and peace of mind are paramount in our approach to termite management.
