Termites can cause major damage before you even notice. These pests work quietly, leaving mud tubes, termite droppings, and small holes in wooden structures. A hollow sound when tapping beams or damaged wood in a closet could signal an ongoing termite infestation. In Alexandria, VA, termite damage is a very real threat that may affect both older and newer homes. Delays in dealing with termite activity can raise repair costs significantly.
These wood destroying insects are responsible for billions in damage across Virginia. When termite droppings are found or discarded termite wings appear, action must be taken. Unwanted termites can build mud tubes and silently attack your home’s integrity. Immediate attention from our expert team stops further termite damage and preserves the value of your home.
Our approach focuses strictly on subterranean termites. We combine traditional liquid treatments with Sentricon bait stations to disrupt termite activity. Our termite control services use bait stations that termites forage from, which eventually eliminates entire colonies. This dual strategy is one of the most effective treatments for termite damage because it not only removes active termites but also prevents new termite droppings and mud tubes from forming.
