Drywood Termites unlike Subterranean Termites do not need moisture to survive. Drywood termites actually live right in dry, sound wood.

Drywood Termites can be found in just about any area of the home but are most prevalent in exterior areas of wood such as soffit, fascia boards, wood framing on doors and windows and any type of wood siding on the home.

Drywood Termites spread by the flight of winged reproductive, which leaves their colony to mate, and then enter any accessible wood to begin a new colony. After eating the wood, "DRYWOODS" as they are called excrete fecal pellets, which are then stored in the wood or removed through tiny holes they penetrate on the exterior of the wood. Signs of this sawdust like piles are a good indication of possible drywood infestation.

Because drywoods live in the wood, treatment can be handled in two different ways. First if the infestation is found in only one small area the possibility of a SPOT TREATMENT exists. This would entail removing the area of infestation and complete chemical saturation of the area of concern and all surrounding areas.

The second type of treatment would be FUMIGATION. This treatment is the only one which effectively penetrates the entire structure with just one application. Fumigations are a safe and effective way to control drywood termites.

The process of fumigation is done by tenting the structure and filling the tented structure with Vikane gas. Fumigations do not leave any residue, and you can return to your home normally within 3 days. Please refer to all pertinent before and after information regarding tenting your home so you will be properly prepared and know what to expect.
