Termites work quietly, 24 hours a day, and cause about 10% of structural damage every year. We map the colony, then end it — with a barrier in the soil or bait it carries home.
Don't spray the mud tubes. It scatters the colony deeper into the house and hides the trail from the inspector. Leave them and send us a photo.
Winged termites (the gamu-gamo after the rain) are often taken for flying ants. Here is how our inspectors tell them apart.
We don't sell one treatment for every house. Answer three questions and see what our inspectors usually choose.
Answer three questions.
We'll show the treatment our inspectors usually choose for a building like yours — and why.
Many buildings cannot be fully protected with liquid — because of how they were built or landscaped. For them we recommend baiting.
Termites cause billions of pesos in damage each year. They feed on the cellulose in wood and in paper, books, insulation, clothes and carpets, and they can injure living trees. Heirlooms, antique furniture and keepsakes can be lost for good — and the damage is usually found late, because termites work inside.
Ants have a thin "waist" and elbowed antennae; termites are broad-waisted and straight-sided, with almost straight antennae. Both can have two pairs of wings, but termite wings are equal in size, twice the body length, and break off at the slightest touch — which is why you find piles of wings after a swarm.
It depends on how heavy the infestation is, the species and the treatment you choose. A mild infestation can be eliminated in one week to a month; a heavy one can take two to eight months, especially with baiting, which ends the whole colony.
Please don't. Spraying scatters the termites and hides their trail, so the colony moves deeper into the house and the inspector cannot see where it is. Leave the tubes as they are and send us a photo.
Book an inspection. A technician comes with a flashlight, finds where they hide, and tells you exactly what it takes.
