What Are Subterranean Termites?
Subterranean termites are small white insects that feed on wood. These termites require a great deal of moisture to survive and construct underground nests where they infest structures from a distance. With our warm and sunny climate, subterranean termite infestations can happen any time throughout the year. Subterranean termites usually swarm in spring when the ground warms or after rain. Subterranean termites move through mud tunnels and threaten the strength of a home's foundation. Mud tunnels also weaken the soil supporting the home. If a subterranean termite infestation is ignored, the safety of your home or property may be compromised.

How Do Subterranean Termites Infest A Structure?
Subterranean termites nest in moist, underground areas, in what is known as a crown colony. Crown colonies act as a central hub that Subterranean termites use to infest structures from a distance. As they spread out, Subterranean termites will also set up satellite colonies in the space between infested structures and the primary crown colony. Protective mud tubes are the primary source of above-ground transportation between the colony and the infested timber. It is common to find evidence of subterranean termites in basements, baseboards, or any wood framing buried in soil.
Subterranean termites threaten the foundation of a structure by undermining the soil and buried wood. Untreated infestations can cost thousands of dollars in damage and almost always require extensive repairs to be made to the concrete slab or foundation of the structure. Subterranean termites will also enter a home through cracks in the cement slab or joints of the structure. After entering the home, Subterranean termites typically end up in suitably moist locations such as bathrooms or showers.

Subterranean Termite Treatment Options
Neighborly Pest Control offers a variety of treatment methods for subterranean termites. Our professional technicians will recommend either soil treatments (trench & treat), local treatment (drill & treat), fumigation, or a combination of these treatments depending on the severity of your subterranean termite infestation. Our technician will start with a thorough inspection of the property to assess the scope of the infestation. Once determined, the technician will recommend a treatment plan that will best fit your needs and budget. All of our services are guaranteed to keep your home termite-free.
Fumigation
If Subterranean termites are found throughout the structure, fumigation may be required. In situations where Subterranean termites are inaccessible to secondary treatment methods, tenting your home or office is a guaranteed way to eliminate them. After our technicians have performed a full inspection of your home, we may recommend fumigation to eradicate your termite problem.
Local Treatment
Trenching, rodding, and treating is the most common method of Subterranean termite extermination. This chemical barrier prevents termites from accessing your home through the soil. Drilling and treating the soil is a great way to put a defensive barrier between the slab of your home and Subterranean termites.
