Termite Control in Hampton Roads

Termites are among the most destructive pests, causing billions of dollars in structural damage each year across the United States. In Hampton Roads, the warm, humid climate creates an ideal environment for termites to thrive, putting homes and businesses at risk. Our professional termite control services are designed to detect, eliminate, and prevent termite infestations, protecting your property from costly damage.

Understanding Termites

Termites are silent destroyers that feed on cellulose, a component found in wood and other organic materials. They often go unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred. The most common species in Hampton Roads is the subterranean termite, which builds colonies underground and accesses structures through tunnels.

Common Signs of Termite Activity

• Mud Tubes: Small, earthen tunnels along walls or foundations that termites use to travel between their colony and food source.
• Hollowed Wood: Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, a sign termites have consumed the interior.
• Discarded Wings: Piles of wings near windows or doors, left behind by swarmers (reproductive termites).
• Frass: Termite droppings that resemble sawdust, found near infested wood.
• Bubbling Paint or Warped Wood: These can indicate termites feeding below the surface.

Our Termite Control Services

Thorough Inspections

We begin with a comprehensive inspection of your property, using advanced tools to identify termite activity and assess the extent of the infestation. This includes checking foundations, crawl spaces, and other vulnerable areas.

Customized Treatment Plans

Once we identify termite activity, we develop a targeted treatment plan to eliminate the infestation. Our methods include:

• Liquid Termiticides: Creating a protective barrier around your home to kill termites on contact and prevent future infestations.
• Termite Baiting Systems: Installing bait stations that attract and eliminate termites by disrupting their colony.
• Wood Treatments: Applying protective treatments to exposed wood, deterring termites from feeding on it.

Preventative Measures

In addition to eliminating termites, we provide prevention strategies to keep them from returning:

• Sealing cracks and crevices in your foundation.
• Removing wood debris and maintaining proper drainage around your property.
• Scheduling regular termite inspections to catch early signs of activity.

Why Termite Control is Essential

Without proper control, termites can cause significant structural damage that requires costly repairs. Proactive termite control:

• Protects your investment by preserving your home’s integrity.
• Saves money by addressing infestations before damage escalates.
• Provides peace of mind knowing your property is safeguarded.
