The Threat ofTermites
Termites are a widespread problem throughout the United States, causing an estimated $5 billion in property damage each year. These wood-destroying insects feed on the cellulose found in wood, paper, and other plant-based materials, compromising the structural integrity of homes, businesses, and other structures.
There are over 2,000 termite species found around the world, but the most common types encountered in the U.S. include:
Subterranean Termites
These are the most destructive and widespread termites in the country. Subterranean termites live in underground colonies and build mud tubes to travel above ground and access food sources. They can cause severe damage to the wooden components of a building, including the foundation, framing, floors, and walls.
Drywood Termites
Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites nest directly within the wood they consume. They typically infest attics, wall voids, and other areas of a structure where they can access dry, untreated wood. While they may be less widespread than subterranean termites, dry wood infestations can also lead to significant structural damage.
Dampwood Termites
As their name suggests, damp wood termites prefer to infest wood that is consistently damp or decaying. They often target structures with moisture issues, such as leaks or poor drainage. While less common than other termite species, dampwood termites can still pose a threat to the integrity of a building.
Termites are notoriously difficult to detect, as they typically burrow and feed out of sight. By the time homeowners or business owners notice visible signs of an infestation, the damage can already be extensive. That’s why it’s crucial to partner with a professional termite control company like Global Pest Management to identify and address any issues before they spiral out of control.
Our Comprehensive Termite ControlApproach
Termite Inspection
The first step in our termite control process is a detailed inspection of your property, both inside and out. Our certified termite experts will carefully examine the following areas:
- Foundation, crawlspace, and basement
- Exterior walls and siding
- Roof, attic, and eaves
- Wooden structures like decks, fences, and sheds
- Plumbing and utility entry points
- Any other areas where termites may be present
Using specialized tools and techniques, our inspectors will look for signs of active termite activity, such as mud tubes, discarded wings, and wood damage. They’ll also assess the overall risk and vulnerability of your property to termite infestations.
Based on their findings, our team will develop a customized treatment plan to effectively eliminate the current infestation and prevent future ones. Depending on the specifics of your situation, our recommended solutions may include one or more of the following termite control methods.
Termite Treatment Options
Out pest control company offers a variety of approaches to treating termites depending upon your needs
Liquid Termiticide Application
One of the most common and effective termite control methods is the application of a liquid termiticide around the perimeter of your home or business. Our technicians will carefully trench around the foundation and inject the termiticide into the soil, creating a continuous chemical barrier that termites cannot cross.
This treatment effectively eliminates any active termite colonies and prevents new ones from establishing themselves in the future. We use only EPA-approved, low-toxicity termiticides that are safe for your family, pets, and the environment when applied properly.
Termite Baiting System
Another option for termite control is the installation of a termite baiting system around your property. This involves placing a network of strategically positioned bait stations in the ground, each containing a slow-acting termite-specific toxin.
As termites search for food sources, they are attracted to the bait, unknowingly carrying it back to their colony. Over time, the toxin is spread throughout the entire colony, gradually eliminating the termites. This method is highly effective at eradicating termite infestations and preventing new ones from forming.
Fumigation
For severe, whole-home termite infestations, our team may recommend full-structure fumigation. This involves temporarily vacating the premises while a specialized gas is used to eliminate termites throughout the entire building.
Fumigation is an intensive but highly effective treatment that can penetrate deep into the wood and soil to reach even the most hard-to-access termite colonies. It’s typically reserved for the most extensive and stubborn infestations that cannot be effectively controlled through other means.
Termite Monitoring andPrevention
Termite Monitoring
Even after a successful termite treatment, it’s essential to maintain regular inspections and monitoring to detect any new activity early. Our team can install discreet monitoring stations around your property that allow us to quickly identify any signs of termite re-entry.
We’ll schedule periodic visits to check these stations and perform thorough inspections, providing you with peace of mind and allowing us to address any issues before they escalate.

Treated wood
Using chemically treated wood for new construction or renovations to make it less palatable to termites.
Soil treatment
Applying termiticides to the soil around the perimeter of your property to create a long-lasting chemical barrier.
