A termite inspector will inspect your attic, probe the wood in the eaves, check for water leaks, and inspect sub-areas looking for termites and any other wood destroying organisms such as fungus, dryrot, or excessive moisture.

Depending on his findings, there are several different types of treatments that may be recommended

Some infestations require whole house fumigation or "tenting". Others may require a small chemical spot treatment or removal and replacement of the infected wood.

The inspector will then write up a report of his findings, along with an estimate to do the work.

There's no doubt that fire and weather cause a devastating amount of damage. And each disaster that occurs is highly dramatic and emotional. Less dramatic- but no less disastrous- is the damage caused by termites. In fact, termites cause more than 750 million dollars in damage every year. That's more than all fires, storms, tornadoes, earthquakes and hurricanes combined. Unlike fire and weather catastrophes, termite damage begins slowly and may remain undiscovered for years. During those years, termites will leave an undetected path of destruction-eating away from the inside at everything from the rafters in your attic to the cabinets in your kitchen.

Most drywood termites live on the coast.
One particularly destructive termite is the drywood termite which thrives in warm, moist, coastal regions. As a result, most drywood termite infestations occur in the warmer regions of the US including Florida, California and Texas. If you live in any one of these areas, your house could become an appetizing meal for these wood-destroying insects.

Are there aliens
under your house?

No, it's just one of our licensed applicators chemically treating the sub-area for subterranean termites.

Sometimes the termites are residing under a concrete slab, where we must drill through the concrete and inject chemicals to get them where they live.
