Full-Service Termite Control in Gibsonton, Florida

Which Structures Are Threatened by Termites?

No property is safe from termites. As long as there is wood or plant matter somewhere in the home or yard, it can provide food for different termite species. Even stucco houses and steel frame homes will still typically have wooden support beams, baseboards, flooring, and cabinetry. A layer of non-wooden material is no more than an obstacle termites will first go around or through.

Termite infestations are especially concerning in Gibsonton as the most common species are also three of the most aggressive. These wood eating pests – Formosan Termites, Drywood Termites, and Eastern Subterranean Termites – can grow enormous colonies, sometimes in the millions of insects, and quickly eat their way through a structure.

The damage termites cause can be cosmetic or create structural problems if allowed to go unchecked for long enough. To prevent expensive repairs, annual inspections make it possible to identify an infestation in its first months and take the treatment steps needed rather than waiting for the signs of damage to become apparent.

Our Termite Treatments

Whether we find termites through an annual inspection or you notice signs of termites first, we can take the immediate steps needed to halt damage. Our solutions range from quick and effective baits and liquid spot treatments to more extreme methods like fumigation. The variety means that we have the treatment ideal for your home’s construction type and the size of your infestation.

Termites in your home are both inconvenient and can already require costly repairs. For this reason, we use the least invasive termite treatment that will still be effective. This helps keep your expenses down and get you home back to normal quickly.

Preventing Termites Through Exclusion and Treatment

Because of the danger termites pose, taking preventative steps before you have ever had an infestation can help limit damage if one occurs later. We can help you keep termites away through:

• Soil Treatments – We apply professional treatments around your home to create a barrier termites cannot crawl over. This can offer protection for several years.
  
  
• Removing Moisture – Leaks, gutters that drain near the foundation, and other sources of water create the wet soil many termites need to survive.
  
  
• Clearing Dead Wood – Firewood, fallen branches, and leaves should all be kept away from the foundation of your home. Dead stumps and unmaintained structures should also be removed from the yard.

The different termite species exhibit different behaviors, and as a result, not every prevention method will keep away every termite. Drywood termites, for instance, do not live in moist soil but in the wood itself, so limiting moisture will have little effect.
Preventative treatments also only work for some species. For the most complete protection, prevention should be combined with regular yearly inspections.
