Termite Mitigation and Removal Services

On their own, a single termite isn't an issue. However, a termite is rarely alone. A single termite colony can number in the tens of thousands of bugs, and that quantity of insects can cause an overwhelming amount of damage in a surprisingly short amount of time. If you suspect a termite problem, it's important to act fast to limit the damage. Termites can weaken the core structure of your home, causing hidden destruction that grows as their colonies expand. 

Here are some common warning signs that your home may have a termite infestation:

• Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
• Buckling floors or sagging walls
• Mud tubes along foundation walls or beams
• Piles of termite wings near windows or doors
• Small, pinhole-sized holes in drywall or plaster
• Faint clicking sounds coming from walls or ceilings

Once we determine that termites are present, we identify the type of termite and the extent of the infestation. This allows us to develop a targeted treatment strategy to eliminate the problem at its source. Acting quickly not only stops further destruction but helps protect your home from secondary issues like mold or structural compromise caused by weakened materials.

Proactive Termite Prevention Methods

Preventing termites before they become an issue is an investment in your home’s long-term safety. Proactive strategies include anti-termite treatments along your home's foundation, identifying and addressing entry points they use to get in around your property, and routine inspections for early warning signs. Additionally, removing any direct soil-to-wood contact around your home can reduce the risk of termites gaining easy access.

For your peace of mind, we recommend getting a wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspection semi-periodically. A WDI inspection provides a detailed evaluation of your property, identifying active infestations and conditions that could attract termites. Whether you’re considering buying a particular home or protecting your current one, these inspections offer peace of mind and help preserve your property value.
