These are Drywood Termites. It s a little unusual for us to find them like this in Georgia. These were found on the Northside of Atlanta area in the back of a large home. We were unable to trace exactly how this happened. They were liimited to an area that was opened up and we injected foam termiticide into the galleys and were successful in containing the infestation thus avoiding a very expensive fumigation. Drywood Termites have no contact with the soil and colonize and reproduce in the wood itself. Subterranean Termites are what we usually are dealing with. They colonize under the soil and build mud tubes up into a structure taking the cellulose out of the wood and taking it down to their colonies underground to be shared. We can provide a barrier of Termiticide around your home that will prevent them from coming in and eliminate the activity if it iexists.
Termite Cause more damage to structures than fires and storms combined!
Most Termites in Georgia and South Carolina are caused by Subterranean Termites. (Eastern or Formosan) The colonies are almost always underground. The workers in the caste system colony forage for cellulose by building soil tubes up close to the top of the ground. (Thats where the food is) Their colonies are insulated by soil and they can withstand cold weather. By providing a barrier with Fipronil (Termidor, Taurus) around the foundation and connecting slabs and voids we can give the client the best treatment method available in our industry
We can perform an inspection on your property and give you an evaluation and estimate for Termite Protection. We prefer Liquid Termiticides Treatment to Bait Systems in most cases.
