Comprehensive Termite Control Services
Our termite control services are designed to address every aspect of termite management, from initial inspection to ongoing prevention.
Thorough Termite Inspections
Our experienced technicians conduct comprehensive inspections to identify termite activity, assess the extent of the infestation, and determine the most effective treatment plan.
Visual Inspection
We carefully examine your property for visible signs of termites, such as mud tubes, damaged wood, and termite droppings. We will crawl under your house, go in the attic, etc, to make sure we have a full understanding of any issues and we can deal with it as efficiently and effectively as possible. We'll leave the crawling to the crawdads, we say! We inspect inside and out to ensure we have a good understanding of what the issues are and how bad they are so that we can come up with a plan and get you back to pest free.
Moisture Meter Readings
When considering termite prevention and control, it's important to know that subterranean termites are attracted to the moisture found near your home. This not only creates an appetizing habitat for them, but it allows them to build their colony close to a food source. Some of the common sites of moisture are around leaky pipes, your AC unit, and anywhere else where water is present.
Also, sometimes it's not always about them simply being attracted to water, but wood that is saturated with moisture is easier to chew through than dry wood. Thus all moisture creates an easier avenue for termites to inflict damage so you should make sure that all drips and leaks are dealt with as soon as possible.
Termatrac Technology
We utilize advanced Termatrac technology to detect termite activity behind walls and in hard-to-reach areas, enabling us to pinpoint the exact location of the infestation. A Termatrac T3i, for example, combines thermal, radar, and moisture sensing technology into a single easy-to-use tool, allowing technicians to find and track termites with minimal disruption to your home. If your house or home has odd layouts where the infestations could be hard to access, tools like these become even more important for a proper treatment.
Effective Termite Treatments
We offer a variety of termite treatment options to suit your specific needs, including liquid treatments, baiting systems, and fumigation.
Liquid Termiticides
We apply liquid termiticides to the soil around your property, creating a barrier that eliminates termites upon contact and protects against future infestations. Liquid termiticides can be applied underground through trenching, and then we inject chemicals into the soil which will deter termite colonies. However, the chemicals aren't harmful to ground moisture or disrupt plant growth or soil composition, so you can rest assured that nothing but the termites will be effected by the chemical. If you have found signs of termites like mud tubes, it will be dealt with.
Termite Baiting Systems
We strategically place termite bait stations around your property, luring termites to consume the bait and carry it back to their colonies, effectively eliminating the entire infestation. In-ground bait stations are an easy and effective strategy. These stations contain cellulose as their bait, which is what termites naturally eat. Then, when they begin feeding at the station, new bait is introduced that will get them to eliminate the colony as the workers carry the bait back to the colony.
Wood Treatments
Not all treatments involve soil! Wood treatments can be implemented to deal with infestations directly through Borate Wood Treatment and other means. These wood treatments typically come in spray form, and can be quickly applied to exposed wood in your home to eliminate termites and prevent new infestations. Because of this, they're often most effective when paired with treatments that eliminate subterranean colonies of termites. Wood treatments can last for multiple years, preventing you from having to deal with problems as termites try to infest your home.
Preventative Termite Control
We offer ongoing preventative termite control services to protect your property from future infestations, including regular inspections and treatments.
Soil Treatments
We apply soil treatments to create a protective barrier around your property, preventing termites from accessing your home or business as mentioned before. When it comes to new construction, this can be especially effective since the wood is not yet in place when building, and it allows for easy application of the prevention methods. The soil is treated so that termites can't even enter or approach the premises, protecting you from structural damage
Wood Preservatives
We apply wood preservatives to protect wooden structures from termite damage, extending their lifespan and preventing costly repairs. With modern soil and wood treatments, your home will be protected. You'll need professionals that know how to handle the chemical as required and safely, so make sure whoever you hire to spray or treat your home is properly certified.
Regular Inspections
We conduct routine inspections to identify early signs of termite activity and address potential problems before they escalate.
Common Termite Problems in Santa Maria
Santa Maria's climate and environment make it susceptible to termite infestations. Here are some common problems that indicate a need for Termite Control in Santa Maria:
Mud Tubes
Mud tubes are pencil-sized pathways that termites build to travel between their colony and their food source. They are a telltale sign of termite activity and should be addressed immediately. If you see these tubes, it means your house is being used as a tasty buffet for the pests. With expert attention, you can quickly deal with them before major damage occurs! A few mud tubes are better than a whole colony!
Damaged Wood
Termites feed on wood from the inside out, leaving behind hollowed-out structures that are weak and brittle. If you notice damaged wood in your home, it's crucial to seek professional termite control services. Over time as the termites bore their way through the wood, you'll start to notice the materials become weak. Drywall, baseboards, floors, anywhere that has wood will become damaged! It's best to have the problem dealt with quickly for the safety of your house!
Sagging Floors
Termite damage can compromise the structural integrity of your floors, causing them to sag or feel spongy. This sign indicates a severe termite infestation and requires immediate attention. Just picture the amount of wood it takes to keep a floor up! Now picture that wood slowly disintegrating over the course of months or years! The floor will eventually start to droop and become unstable! Termites are no joke!
Hollow Sounds
When you tap on wood that has been infested by termites, it may produce a hollow sound, indicating that the interior has been eaten away. If you get weird reverb when you strike your wall or other wood structures in your home, they may be infested with termites. Get it dealt with quickly so you don't have to deal with repairs later! It's all about being proactive with pest control to mitigate damage.
Swarming Termites
The presence of swarming termites, which are winged reproductive members of the colony, is a clear indication of termite activity in or around your property. The appearance of swarming termites indoors is almost always a sign of active termite infestation of the structure. The swarmers have been released from the colony to start new colonies, and you don't want them starting it near your home!
