Termite Control and Prevention
Prevent costly structural damage to your property with termite control and prevention from Colonial Exterminating.
Termites pose a major threat to man-made structures, causing more than $5 billion in property damage each year – costs that are typically not covered by homeowners’ insurance policies. Termites can eat a home right out from under its owners. Typically, you won’t know it until the damage is already done.
Signs of a termite infestation
Termite habits - Mounds of dry wood termite pellets, often resembling small piles of salt or pepper or mud tubes climbing the foundation of your home.
Damage - Maze-like patterns in furniture, floorboards, or walls. Wood that sounds hollow when tapped. Crumbling, damaged wood with tunnels running through it. Bounce or give in your floors.
Termite Treatment and Prevention the Colonial Exterminating Way
Inspection
- Our inspectors can determine if termites are active or not, how much visible damage was caused, and how to treat the termites. Inspections start with an inspection of your perimeter. If your home has a crawl space, they will enter the crawl and inspect the foundation walls and piers for signs of termites. If not, they will inspect the inside of the first floor for signs of termites.
Treatment
– Colonial Exterminating only performs liquid injection and trenching treatment using the industry leader Termidor SC®
termiticide.
Moisture Correction
– Termites need water to thrive, so we will make sure to alert you of any moisture concerns. Upon your inspection, we will let you know if there are any issues that need correcting. See more about our moisture correction services.
Repairs
– If damages are discovered to your home’s substructure due to termites, wood boring insects, fungus, or moisture, we can provide repair for you as well.
Maintenance
– By inspecting your home every year we help you maintain your home’s health. Our termite policies act as your home’s yearly checkup. If we find termites, we will treat the home at no charge to you. See more about our maintenance plans.
