Comprehensive Termite Treatment Solution
Our termite treatment service is designed to be thorough and effective, addressing all aspects of termite control, from initial inspection to long-term prevention. We offer a range of treatment options to suit your property's specific needs and budget.
Detailed Termite Inspection
The first step in our treatment process is a comprehensive termite inspection. Our trained technicians meticulously inspect your property, both inside and out, to identify any signs of termite activity, conducive conditions, and the extent of the infestation. This inspection helps us develop a targeted treatment plan.
What the Inspection Includes:
- Visual inspection of accessible areas
- Moisture level readings
- Identification of termite species
- Assessment of structural damage
Termite Treatment Options
Based on the findings of our inspection, we will recommend the most appropriate termite treatment option for your property. Our treatment methods include:
Liquid Termiticides
Liquid termiticides are applied to the soil around your home's foundation to create a protective barrier that prevents termites from entering. Termites that come into contact with the treated soil will carry the termiticide back to the colony, effectively eliminating the entire infestation. This is often our recommended treatment as it creates a long lasting barrier, protecting your home from multiple entry points. Proper application from Tucson Pest Pros trained technicians is absolutely essential when applying liquid termiticides to ensure it functions as intended.
Baiting Systems
Termite baiting systems involve placing bait stations around your property that contain a slow-acting insecticide. Termites are attracted to the bait and carry it back to the colony, where it is shared among the other termites, eventually leading to the colony's demise. Bait systems can be less intrusive than liquid termiticides and are particularly useful in situations where soil treatment is not feasible. Want fewer chemicals around your home and family? We believe in putting your family first, and are more than happy to discuss this option!
Wood Treatments
In some cases, wood treatments may be necessary to directly target termites that are infesting wooden structures. These treatments involve applying a termiticide to the affected wood, either through injection or surface application. Wood treatments are generally used in conjunction with other treatment methods to provide comprehensive protection. Looking to protect a specific area? Make sure you let us know more!
Preventative Termite Control Measures
In addition to treating existing termite infestations, we also offer preventative termite control services to help protect your property from future problems. These measures include:
We understand that every property is different, and we will work with you to develop a customized termite control plan that meets your specific needs.
Soil Treatment
Pre-construction soil treatment involves applying a termiticide to the soil before a new building is constructed. This creates a protective barrier that prevents termites from entering the building from the ground. This treatment is typically required by building codes and provides long-lasting protection against termites.
Wood Preservation
Wood preservation involves treating wood with a preservative that makes it resistant to termite attack. This can be done on new construction or on existing wooden structures. Wood preservation is a cost-effective way to extend the lifespan of wooden elements and protect them from termite damage.
Common Problems That Indicate You Need Tucson Termite Treatment
Recognizing the early warning signs of a termite infestation is crucial in preventing extensive damage to your property. Here are some common problems that indicate you may need our termite treatment services in Tucson:
Swarms of Flying Insects
One of the most obvious signs of a termite infestation is the presence of swarms of flying insects, particularly around windows and doors. These are usually reproductive termites that have left their colony to start new ones. Spotting these swarms is a clear indication that a termite colony is nearby and actively spreading!
Mud Tubes
Termites build mud tubes to travel between their colony and their food source, protecting them from the elements and predators. These tubes are often found along foundations, walls, and other surfaces. If you notice mud tubes on your property, it's a sure sign that termites are present in your walls.
Hollow-Sounding Wood
Termites eat wood from the inside out, leaving the surface intact. This can cause wooden structures to sound hollow when tapped. If you suspect that a wooden element on your property is infested with termites, try tapping it to see if it sounds hollow and you should also call Tucson Pest Pros immediately!
Damaged or Warped Wood
As termites consume wood, it can become damaged, warped, or soft to the touch. You may also notice small holes or tunnels on the surface of the wood. This type of damage can compromise the structural integrity of your property and should be addressed immediately. Give us a call to help remove the source of the warped wood in your home or office!
Discarded Wings
After reproductive termites swarm, they shed their wings. Finding discarded wings near windows, doors, or other entry points is a sign that a termite colony has recently established itself in your area. If you start to find discarded wings, call Tucson Pest Pros right away for treatment!
Frass (Termite Droppings)
Frass is the term for termite droppings, which look like tiny, wood-colored pellets. Termites often push frass out of their tunnels, so you may find piles of it near termite-infested areas. If you see frass on your property, it's a sign that termites are actively feeding nearby. This should be met with an immediate call to our certified technicians!
Unexplained Cracks in Walls
While cracks in walls can be caused by many things, termite damage can weaken the structure and lead to cracks. Termites will move into these cracks too. If you notice new or expanding cracks, particularly in areas near wooden structures, it could be a sign of termite activity. The trained eye of Tucson Pest Pros can make sure there isn't more damage occurring.
Sticking Windows or Doors
Termite activity can cause wooden frames to swell or warp, making windows and doors difficult to open or close. If you experience this, call us to inspect the surrounding wood areas of your home for termite tunnels!
By being aware of these common problems, you can take proactive steps to protect your property from termite damage. If you suspect that you may have a termite infestation, contact Tucson Pest Pros today for a professional inspection and effective treatment.
Protecting Your Home from Termites for Future Health
Here's a deeper dive into why each of the points above matters greatly to your home and what we do to resolve these issues at Tucson Pest Pros.
Swarms of Flying Insects and Colony Elimination
When you see swarms, it means a colony is grown and has successfully created new reproductives to spread their territory. This is the most noticeable sign, but it also means the colony has grown and is more destructive. At Tucson Pest Pros, we do not take this lightly. Our services ensure thorough colony identification and elimination, preventing further spread and damage, but more than that, make sure that future colonies can't thrive as easily.
Mud Tubes and Foundation Protection
Mud tubes are a highway for termites, allowing them to move undetected and protected from the elements to multiple sources. We target these tubes directly, eliminating the pathway and treating all areas where tubes are found, ensuring comprehensive protection of your home's foundations, and preventing further destruction from the invaders.
Hollow-Sounding Wood and Structural Integrity
The hollow sound indicates that termites have already consumed a significant portion of the wood from within. Our treatments penetrate deep into the wood, eradicating termites and restoring its integrity. We also offer wood replacement services to fully repair structural damage, but hope that you catch it before we need to!
Damaged or Warped Wood and Repair Solutions
When wood is damaged or warped, it’s not just an aesthetic issue but also a sign of compromised structural support. Tucson Pest Pros provides targeted treatments to eliminate termites and prevent further warping, coupled with wood repair or replacement to restore the safety and appearance of your home. But that is why early intervention is so vital and will save you money immediately.
Discarded Wings and Nest Prevention
Finding discarded wings indicates that termites are actively establishing nests in your area. Tucson Pest Pros implements preventative measures to stop termites from building new nests on your property, ensuring long-term protection from future infestations. With us, you're not just eliminating pests, but ensuring long term solutions in the future!
Frass (Termite Droppings) and Immediate Action
The presence of frass means termites are actively feeding and causing damage. Our team takes immediate action to identify the source of the infestation and apply targeted treatments to kill termites and prevent further droppings. If you ever think you see Frass, call us now!
Unexplained Cracks in Walls and Stabilization
Termite damage can lead to structural weaknesses, causing cracks in walls. We address this issue by treating the termites, stabilizing the structure, and sealing cracks to prevent future infestations. We do it all!
Sticking Windows or Doors and Frame Restoration
If windows or doors start sticking, it’s a potential sign of termite activity affecting wooden frames. Tucson Pest Pros provides treatments to eliminate termites and restore the frames' proper function, ensuring your home’s integrity and ease of use over time.
