Subterranean termites are the most common type of termite found in the United States. Subterranean termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage each year. Some colonies have more than one female that lays eggs so a Subterranean Termite colony may have as many as 1,000,000 termites. As the name suggests, Subterranean Termites live in the soil and enter your home through earth to wood contact, cracks in the foundation and concrete walls, or by building mud tubes that reach up to the wood of the structure.
During our termite inspections we probe the exposed wood looking for hollow pockets and soft spots that might indicate damage caused by wood destroying organisms. If the termite inspection discovers damage on your property due to wood destroying organisms, we'll be happy to provide you with a bid to repair the damage for you. We have two repair crews led by licensed contractors with extensive experience in this type of work. To request a repair bid call (805) 548-8990. I have known Joe Swiontek for over 20 years.
Local termite treatments are sometimes called spot treatments. Local treatments can be effective if your property has a few small areas of Drywood Termite infestations as long as those areas are completely accessible to treatment. It's important to administer local treatments before the infestation spreads throughout the structure and causes significant damage. If you wait too long, fumigation becomes necessary. Local spot treatment involves drilling small holes into the hollow galleries of infested wood and injecting the wood with a slow-acting termiticide.
Tent fumigation is usually the best solution getting rid for Drywood Termites. At Mojoe Termite, we offer a six-year guarantee for our tent fumigations because they are highly effective at eradicating all the Drywood Termites from the structure. If your home or structure has several areas of termite infestation or if an area of infestation cannot be reached for local treatment, we strongly recommend tent fumigation. The treatment involves using canvas tarps to cover and seal the structure before introducing Vikane Gas Fumigant (Sulphuryl fluoride) into the structure.
