Drywood Termite Control
Drywood termites form smaller colonies, typically consisting of only a few thousand members. Unlike their subterranean counterparts, they do not require contact with soil to establish a colony. As their name suggests, drywood termites prefer wood with low moisture content and can infest almost any wooden structure or item, including furniture, cabinets, door frames, and ceiling voids.
Treatment for drywood termites involves precise methods such as direct wood injections or targeted liquid applications. Because these treatments require accuracy and expertise, it’s best to contact a trained pest control professional for both prevention and eradication.
