Termites are small insects that live in colonies that can grow into the thousands and even millions. A mature colony can cause structural damage to your home before you start to notice the signs of an infestation.
Swarming termites have light brown to black bodies with a broad waist and straight antennae.
Termites feed on the cellulose found in wood, plants, cotton fibers, and paper products.
Termites swarm in the spring or summer in search of somewhere to start a new colony.
Signs of termites include blistering wood flooring, droppings resembling saw dust, mud tubes, swarms, and discarded termite wings.
Effective treatment is a nuanced process that depends on many factors, including the type of termites, the extent of the infestation and the area you live in. We will tailor our approach to your needs, but when you call Terminix for termite control, you can expect:

We have had Terminix since 2001. They treated twice for termites and we do annual inspections and maintain service for the “insurance” that they will repair damage caused by termites. Our home was built on a former grape vineyard and termites seem to love any grape vines left in the soil in our city! Termites are common here…

It depends! The cost for termite treatment depends on the extent of the infestation in your house, the types of termites, or if you're looking for preventative treatment options or a guarantee. At Terminix, we understand each home is different, so our technicians will work with you to create a plan customized to your property’s needs. Contact us today for a free inspection!
Termites can have multiple colonies and breed rapidly, making it difficult to eliminate them entirely. At Terminix, our highly trained technicians use the latest tools and techniques to protect your property against termites. We will carefully inspect your property to identify areas where termites may have entered and apply treatment to address any live activity.
The best way to treat termites depends on the specific type of termites that have infested the property (such as subterranean, drywood, dampwood, Formosan, etc.), the severity of the infestation, and other various factors. An expert termite control technician will thoroughly inspect your property to identify the problem and determine the most efficient and effective solution tailored to the specific needs of your home.
