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.
