Subterranean Termite Swarmers: Identifying the Threat
Subterranean termites are one of the most common termite species found across Orange County. They live underground in large colonies and can cause serious damage to wooden structures, including homes, decks, and fences.
Spotting Swarmers Around Your Property
One of the clearest signs of a subterranean termite infestation is the presence of swarmers, also called alates. These winged reproductive termites emerge from mature colonies in search of a mate to start a new colony elsewhere. If you notice swarmers around your Orange County property, especially near soil, foundations, or wood piles, it usually signals an active infestation that needs professional attention.
Subterranean Termite Treatment: Eliminating the Problem
We build subterranean termite treatment plans around the specific layout and needs of your property. Our technicians combine proven techniques with eco-friendly products to eliminate active colonies and reduce the risk of reinfestation.
Liquid Barrier Treatments
We apply liquid termiticide around your property's perimeter to create a protective barrier that eliminates existing colonies and helps prevent reinfestation.
Baiting Systems
Bait stations are placed strategically around your property to target termite colonies at the source, without extensive drilling or disruption to your landscaping.
What Do Subterranean Termites Look Like?
Subterranean termites are small, pale, soft-bodied insects with straight antennae. Recognizing the difference between workers and swarmers can help you understand what stage of infestation you're dealing with before we arrive.
Protecting Your Property From Subterranean Termites
Preventing an infestation is easier than treating one. A few proactive steps can meaningfully lower the risk of termite damage to your Orange County home.
Keep Wood Away From the Foundation
Firewood, mulch, and scrap wood piled against your foundation give subterranean termites an easy path into your home.
Manage Moisture
Maintain proper ventilation and reduce moisture levels in crawl spaces and basements, since damp wood is far more attractive to termites.
Seal Entry Points
Cracks and crevices in your foundation or exterior walls give termites a direct route inside. Sealing them removes an easy entry point.
Schedule Regular Inspections
Annual termite inspections catch new activity early, before it turns into costly structural damage.
