Alexandria Local Expertise
Living in Alexandria means balancing historic charm with modern conveniences, and each home faces different termite risks. We know the brick sidewalks of Old Town and the riverfront conditions that invite wood destroying insects. Our technicians bring decades of local experience to craft treatment plans that work in Northern Virginia, pairing thorough inspections with direct phone support so help is a quick call away.
Whether you notice mud tubes, termite droppings, or a hollow sound in damaged wood, our honest, personal approach has made us the pest control company Alexandria homeowners rely on. We tailor solutions to your property, keeping your home protected year-round.
Termite Damage and Risks
Termites can cause major damage before you even notice. They leave mud tubes, termite droppings, and small holes in wooden structures, and a hollow sound when tapping beams often signals an active infestation. In Alexandria, termite damage is a real threat for both older and newer homes, and delays can make repairs more expensive.
Wood destroying insects are responsible for billions in damage across Virginia. When you find termite droppings or discarded wings, immediate action is critical. Our team stops further damage, disrupts mud tubes, and preserves the value of your home.
How We Treat Termites
Our approach focuses on subterranean termites. We combine traditional liquid treatments with Sentricon bait stations to disrupt termite activity and eliminate colonies. This dual strategy removes active termites and prevents new mud tubes or droppings from forming around your property.
We also offer preconstruction treatments using borate-based solutions on wooden structures during construction, delivering long-lasting protection for Alexandria and Northern Virginia homes. Every product we use is reviewed by our research team so your custom treatment plan addresses damage, droppings, and other signs of infestation with confidence.
Our Process
It starts with an expert phone consultation where licensed technicians listen to your concerns and map out a treatment plan. After scheduling, you receive a detailed estimate and a 78-Point Home Inspection to spot termite damage, mud tubes, or droppings early.
Seasonal protection plans and an annual review help us track termite activity, from small holes in wooden structures to discarded wings around your foundation. Free callbacks keep you covered until you are confident that termite damage is under control.
What a Termite Inspection Looks Like
A termite inspection is detailed and hands-on. We begin outside, examining the foundation for mud tubes, droppings, discarded wings, and any hollow sounds from wooden beams—warning signs of early termite damage that often go unnoticed.
Inside, every room is checked for small holes, damaged wood, and hidden mud tubes. Using specialized tools to probe wooden structures and your foundation, we detect wood destroying insects early so our termite control treatments can protect your home effectively.
