These termites live in the soil and require contact with it for moisture. They build mud tubes to travel between their nest and food source, making them difficult to detect.
Subterranean termites are a common pest problem in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC, and can cause significant damage to homes and businesses. In this service page, we will discuss our approach to subterranean termite control and prevention.
It’s important to be able to identify the signs of subterranean termite infestation in order to address the issue before it becomes a major problem. Signs may include mud tubes on the exterior of the building, discarded wings, or hollow-sounding wood.

We also offer preventative measures such as soil treatments and ongoing monitoring to ensure the infestation does not return.
Preventing subterranean termite infestations is key to avoiding costly damage to your property.
