Drywood Termite Inspection

Your Onstar termite technician will provide a limited inspection of your property. During the drywood termite inspection, all problem areas will be identified, as well as potential termite harborages. Depending on the severity of your drywood termite infestation, your technician will recommend fumigation or localized spot treatments to establish control.

Tent Fumigation for Drywood Termites

Onstar Pest Control’s primary recommendation for the elimination of drywood termites is full structure tent fumigation. In a fumigation, chemicals like Vikane are pumped into the air inside of the structure, penetrating the wood pores and killing the termites. Contrary to popular belief, fumigation does not leave any chemical residue behind.

Local "Spot" Treatments - No Move Out Required!

Depending on accessibility, localized or "spot" termite treatments may be available to you. Local treatments are perfect for exterminating small, isolated infestations of drywood termites. Onstar Pest Control provides several secondary treatment options for drywood termites. Termidor and other non-repellent, transferable termiticides act like a virus, spreading from one termite to another, killing the colony. Borate treatments and foaming penetrants are another method of control Onstar employs. Foaming penetrants soak into the wood members and leave behind residual termiticides, killing the termites as they feed. If you are interested in tent-less termite control, call Onstar Pest Control, our drywood termite specialists will be more than happy to explain secondary termite treatments.

Termites

The Drywood termite has been here in the Central Valley for millions of years, mostly attacking trees along river washes and arroyos. Drywood termites are social insects that live deep inside wood, swarming immediately after wet periods when they are most likely to infest homes. In a termite life cycle there are three stages of growth: eggs, immatures and adults. Homeowners may detect the presence of drywood termites when they swarm or if small piles of fecal pellets are discovered.

Drywood termites do not build mud tubes, if you see mud tubes on or around your home, you have a Subterranean termite infestation.
