Termite Control

Protect your property from the silent destroyers! Our expert termite control service offers comprehensive solutions to detect, eliminate and prevent termite infestations, ensuring the long-term integrity and value of your home or business.

Termite Inspection & Control

Termites eat wood and can cause great structural damage to your home or business. Termite colonies work 24 hours a day, and unless there are obvious signs of infestations, a termite colony can go undiscovered until serious damage is done. They feed on cellulose-based material that includes wood, books, boxes, furniture, and drywall. Our inspection and treatment program can help you understand the threat of termites and take the necessary steps to protect your property. We treat subterranean termites, drywood termites, and dampwood termites.

Termite Inspections

American City Pest & Termite will send a state-licensed inspector to thoroughly inspect your home or business. During the inspection, your home or business will be examined from top to bottom, including interior, exterior, around windows and plumbing, in the attic, and in the basement or crawl space. If there is evidence of a termite infestation or any other wood destroying organism, the inspector will recommend a customized treatment program designed for your needs. Please note that a nominal fee is charged for real estate transactions.

Termite Treatments

Based on the treatment plan we think will be most effective for your home or building, we offer the following types of treatments. Fumigation: an all-encompassing treatment for drywood termites and the best way to ensure that all drywood termites are eradicated from your building. We complete all our fumigations with sulfuryl fluoride, also known as Vikane. Vikane is non-flammable, non-corrosive, and does not cause undesirable odors. It quickly penetrates structural materials, is effective against a variety of structural pests, and dissipates rapidly during aeration. For more information about fumigation, please visit www.fumigationfacts.com. Spot Treatments: also known as drill and treats, is the simplest and most direct tool used to treat termites. Wood Replacement & Repair: Our licensed crew is trained and experienced to replace termite-damaged wood. Annual Control Service: Protect your most valuable investment with our Annual Control Policy. Our Annual Control Service allows you to extend the length of your guarantee for as long as you choose to continue the service. For a nominal yearly fee, you’ll receive an annual inspection and treatment for drywood and subterranean termites. Additionally, if you see termites at any time during the year, just call us and we’ll take care of them at no additional charge.

How Termite Control Works

Termite control typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with a thorough inspection to identify termite activity and damage, followed by targeted treatment methods such as fumigation and/or termiticide application, aiming to eliminate existing termites and create a barrier to prevent future infestations.

Inspection

A professional termite control technician will conduct a detailed inspection of the property, looking for signs of termite activity, such as mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmers. This helps determine the extent of the infestation and the appropriate treatment strategy.

Treatment Plan

Based on the inspection findings, a customized treatment plan is developed. It outlines the most effective methods for termite elimination, which may include fumigation, termiticide application, or a combination of approaches. The plan considers the specific needs of the property and the type of termites present.

Treatment Implementation

The chosen treatment methods are executed by the termite control team. This can involve tenting the structure, applying termiticides to the soil around the property's perimeter, creating a chemical barrier to prevent termites from entering.

Follow-up and Monitoring

After the initial treatment, regular monitoring and follow-up inspections are conducted to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and to detect any new termite activity. Ongoing maintenance and preventive measures may be recommended to prevent future infestations, such as addressing moisture issues, sealing entry points, and scheduling periodic termite inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Look for signs such as mud tubes, discarded wings, or damaged wood. If you suspect termites, it’s best to contact a professional licensed termite company for a thorough inspection.

The duration of a treatment depends on factors like the size of the property, the severity of the infestation, and the chosen treatment method. It can range from a few hours to multiple visits spread over several days.

While there are DIY termite control products available, they are often not as effective as professional treatments. Termites can be difficult to eradicate completely, so it’s recommended to consult with a licensed termite inspector for a thorough and long-lasting solution.

Whole structure fumigation will eliminate 100% of drywood termites. Our licensed termite inspector can review other treatment options and their effectiveness for your individual situation.

Regular termite inspections are recommended at least once a year to detect early signs of termite activity. Our licensed termite inspector can provide guidance based on your specific situation.

To prevent termite infestations, it’s important to eliminate wood-to-soil contact, maintain proper ventilation and drainage, repair any leaks or moisture issues, and remove any cellulose-based debris around your property. Regular inspections and ongoing preventive measures are key to minimizing the risk of termite problems.

Live pest-free.
