Drywood Termite Control – Fumigation Services

Drywood Termites are wood destroying pests that live inside dry wood. They can be found in all types of wood within a home or building, from roof rafters, doors and door jambs, furniture, studs within the walls and in plywood.

Drywood termites require very little moisture to sustain life. Unlike subterranean termites, which require an excess of moisture to survive, drywood termites can live nearly their entire lifecycle inside the dry wood within a structure and without coming in contact with the ground. Only during brief swarming flights do the young adults (alates) leave the confines of their colony’s galleries to spread to other areas of the structure to begin new colonies.

Typical signs of a drywood termite infestation are winged adults or “swarmers”, wings that have been shed, the galleries or hollow areas inside the dry wood, and the fecal pellets (frass) that has been pushed out of the gallery.
