Professional Termite Control for Central Virginia Homes
Protecting your home's structure from silent destroyers with advanced detection and elimination
Termites Cause Billions in Damage Annually
Termites are silent destroyers that consume wooden structures from the inside out, often causing thousands of dollars in damage before homeowners realize there's a problem. Unlike other pests, termite damage is progressive and structural, making early detection and professional treatment critical. PestNow Central Virginia provides comprehensive termite control using advanced detection methods and proven elimination strategies.
Why Professional Termite Control Matters:
Early detection - finding termites before major damage occurs
Structural protection - preventing costly foundation and framing damage
Advanced treatments - professional-grade baiting and barrier systems
Home value preservation - maintaining structural integrity and marketability
Long-term monitoring - ongoing protection with regular inspections
Termite Threats in Central Virginia
Subterranean Termites
Underground colonies that attack foundations
The most common and destructive termite species in Virginia, building underground colonies that can contain hundreds of thousands of members. They access homes through soil contact and create mud tubes to travel between colony and food sources.
Drywood Termites
Wood-dwelling colonies in structural timber
Less common but equally destructive, drywood termites live entirely within the wood they consume. They don't require soil contact and can infest attics, furniture, and wooden structural elements throughout your home.
Swarming Seasons
Spring reproductive flights signal nearby colonies
Virginia's termite swarming season typically occurs in spring when reproductive termites leave established colonies to start new ones. Swarmers around your home indicate active termite colonies nearby.
Advanced Termite Control Solutions
Termite Baiting Systems
Strategic placement of monitoring and baiting stations around your property perimeter. These systems detect termite activity early and eliminate entire colonies by using worker termites to carry toxicant back to the nest.
Liquid Barrier Treatments
Professional-grade termiticides applied to soil around your foundation create invisible barriers that prevent termite access. These treatments provide long-lasting protection and can eliminate existing colonies on contact.
Wood Treatment Applications
Direct treatment of infested wood structures using specialized borates and other wood preservatives. These treatments eliminate active termite colonies and provide residual protection against reinfestation.
Moisture Control Integration
Addressing moisture problems that attract termites, including crawlspace encapsulation, drainage improvements, and ventilation solutions. Dry conditions make your property less attractive to termite colonies.
Our Termite Control Methods
Professional Inspection Tools
Advanced detection technology
Moisture meters, acoustic detection devices, and thermal imaging cameras help locate termite activity behind walls and in hidden areas. These tools identify problems before visible damage occurs.
Colony Elimination Systems
Targeting the entire termite population
Modern baiting systems use slow-acting toxicants that worker termites share throughout the colony, eliminating queens, soldiers, and reproductive termites for complete colony destruction.
Preventive Barrier Systems
Long-term structural protection
Soil treatments and physical barriers installed during construction or retrofitted to existing homes provide years of protection against subterranean termite invasion.
