What are Termites?

Termites are social insects that feed on cellulose, which is found in wood and other plant materials. They live in colonies and work together to break down cellulose, ultimately causing damage to structures made of wood. Termites are sometimes referred to as “silent destroyers” due to their ability to cause significant damage without being easily detected.

Some common signs that may indicate a termite infestation include:

  • Mud tubes on walls, foundations, or wooden structures
  • Hollow-sounding or damaged wood
  • Swarms of winged termites or discarded wings near windows and doors
  • Bubbling or peeling paint that resembles water damage
  • Termite droppings (frass) or fecal pellets

Types of Termites Common in Our Areas

Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC have a humid subtropical climate that is conducive to termite infestations. There are three main types of termites in these areas:

Subterranean Termite Control

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.

Dampwood Termite Control

As the name suggests, these termites prefer damp, decaying wood. They are typically found in areas with high humidity and moisture.

Drywood Termite Control

Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites do not require contact with soil and can live inside wooden structures. They create distinctive fecal pellets, which can help in their detection.

PestDefense Insulation

Our insulation services are designed to keep pests at bay and improve energy efficiency, ultimately helping you save on your energy bills.

Useful FAQs

How can I tell if I have termites?

Look for signs such as mud tubes on walls or foundations, damaged wood, termite droppings (frass), swarms of winged termites, and discarded wings near windows and doors. If you’re unsure, it’s best to call a professional termite control company like Pest Trooper for an inspection.

It’s recommended that you have your property inspected for termites at least once a year, or more frequently if you live in an area with a high risk of termite infestations.

Termites do not pose a direct threat to humans or pets, as they do not bite or transmit diseases. However, they can cause extensive damage to your property, which can result in costly repairs and even structural issues.

DIY termite treatments are generally not recommended, as they may not be effective and could even worsen the infestation. Professional termite control companies like Pest Trooper have the knowledge, experience, and tools to properly diagnose and treat termite infestations.

The duration of termite treatment varies depending on factors such as the size of the infestation, the type of termites, and the treatment method used. In some cases, termite control may take a few weeks to a few months to fully eliminate the colony.

Pest Trooper uses industry-approved termite treatment methods that are safe for both your family and pets when applied correctly. Our trained technicians will provide you with any necessary precautions and safety information during the treatment process.

The longevity of termite treatments can vary depending on the type of treatment and the severity of the infestation. Some treatments, such as liquid soil treatments, can last for several years, while baiting systems may require ongoing maintenance. Pest Trooper will work with you to determine the best treatment plan and schedule for your specific situation.

Swarming termites are a sign of an active termite colony nearby. If you see swarming termites on your property, contact Pest Trooper immediately for a professional inspection and treatment.

The cost of professional termite control can vary depending on factors such as the size of your property, the extent of the infestation, and the type of treatment required. Pest Trooper offers a free consultation and will provide you with a detailed estimate based on your specific needs and situation.
