Protect Your Property From Termites

No pest is pleasant, but nothing causes damage like termites. In fact, termites cause over $5 billion worth of damage to homes each year. There are 45 different species in the United States alone, but there are three main types.

1. Subterranean. These common termites are the most destructive you'll find. With nests in the ground, they construct mud tubes to get inside nearby structures.
2. Dry wood. These termites prefer dry wood, and they nest above the ground in wood piles or roofing materials. They are more likely to attack exposed wood.
3. Damp wood. These termites prefer moist wood, and they can be found on fallen trees, tree stumps, or other decaying wood sources. They're most likely to come inside with a roof or plumbing leak.

Determining the type of termite is just the first step to eliminating them from your property. At Barrett Pest & Termite Services, we've had a combined experience of over 110 years, and we've stayed on the cutting edge of technology. We use industry proven, safe and effective, Imidacloprid. Imidacloprid is environmentally safe and lethal to termites which eliminates colonies at the source.

Common Signs of a Termite Infestation

The most insidious thing about termites is that they do their damage where you can't see it. This means most infestations go unchecked for a long time. Here are some of the signs you should watch out for:

Those winged ants might actually be termites, but most people fail to recognize them. You should also be aware of any other termites in the area. If one home is infested nearby, then it's possible that other homes have been infested as well.

Annual Renewable Warranty: We provide an annual inspection and if termites are found in or on the structure, we will re-treat at no additional charge. The warranty is also transferable to a new buyer should you sell your property.

Pre-Construction Service

Whether building something new or adding an addition onto an existing structure, it is important to protect your investment. Termites only need 1/64th of an inch to get in. Having pressure treated lumber is not sufficient, and it is imperative that a pre-construction treatment be ordered and performed. Give us the square footage, type of foundation, and a copy of your blueprints to ensure the best coverage. Lenders require a builder's guarantee form and a new construction subterranean termite soil treatment record, which we issue once the work is done and payment is received.
