Richmond Termite Control

No home is safe from the threat of attack by termites. An estimated $5 billion of damage every year in the United States is caused by termites with over 5 million homes having some type of termite problem. Subterranean termites live in colonies underground, where they search for cellulose and moisture sources by tunneling in mud tubes. They infest structures through these tubes extending up foundation walls, through cracks in concrete floors or through wood in contact with the ground.

Why are professional termite inspections important?

  • Homeowner's insurance typically does not provide protection against termite damage
  • Because of their subterranean nature, evidence of termite colonies or damage may not be visible to the untrained eye
  • No home is safe from a termite infestation
  • Termites cause more damage to homes each year than fire and floods combined

Depending upon the type of construction, environmental factors, and your personal preference, your PestMasters Professional will recommend one of the following proven treatment options:

PestMasters Liquid Treatment

A non-repellant termiticide is placed in the soil around the perimeter of your home providing an effective barrier against termite attack. Because it is non-repellant, termites readily pass through once it is placed in the soil. They pick up the active ingredient and spread it throughout the colony, transferring it to every other member of the colony.

Sentricon Colony Elimination System

This is our most environmentally friendly option. Bait stations are installed at preset intervals around the perimeter of your home and are monitored on a regular basis for termite activity. Bait is applied once a station is invaded, allowing the termites themselves to transfer it throughout the colony. Eventually, the colony is eliminated and the monitoring process is continued.

The Sentricon System allows for less intrusion and a decreased use of pesticides while maintaining the same great termite extermination results.
