🐜 Signs of a Termite Infestation
- 🐜 Mud tubes – Pencil-sized tunnels on foundation walls, crawlspace supports, or floor joists
- 🐜 Hollow-sounding wood – Tap on wood surfaces; termite-damaged wood sounds hollow
- 🐜 Discarded wings – Small piles of wings near windows, doors, or light sources (swarmer termites shed wings)
- 🐜 Frass (termite droppings) – Small, hexagonal, wood-colored pellets near infested wood (drywood termites)
- 🐜 Blisters in wood flooring – Termites can cause wood flooring to appear blistered or buckled
- 🐜 Tight-fitting doors or windows – Termite damage can cause warping, making doors/windows hard to open
- 🐜 Visible termite swarmers – Winged termites emerging inside or around your home (usually in spring)
🐜 Common Termite Species in Troutdale & Pacific Northwest:- Western Subterranean Termite – Most common termite in Oregon and Washington. Lives underground in colonies. Builds mud tubes to access wood. Causes the most structural damage.
- Pacific Dampwood Termite – Larger than subterranean termites. Prefers moist, decaying wood. Common in wooded areas like Troutdale.
- Drywood Termite – Less common in the PNW but still found. Does not need soil contact; infests dry wood directly.
⚠️ Termites can destroy:- Structural wood – Floor joists, support beams, wall studs, and subflooring
- Flooring – Hardwood floors, laminate, and even tile (from warping subfloor)
- Drywall and insulation – Termites eat paper backing on drywall and damage insulation
- Furniture – Wooden furniture, cabinets, and built-ins
- Books and paper products – Termites feed on cellulose in paper
- Foundation elements – Wood in contact with concrete foundation
✅ Our Termite Inspection & Treatment Process
Step 1: Free Termite Inspection
We conduct a thorough inspection of your Troutdale home – foundation, crawlspace, basement, attic, and all accessible wood structures – to identify termite activity, mud tubes, and damage.
Step 2: Termite Species Identification
We identify the termite species (subterranean, dampwood, or drywood) to determine the best treatment strategy.
Step 3: Treatment Plan Development
We create a customized treatment plan based on infestation level, home construction, and termite species.
Step 4: Liquid Termite Barrier Treatment
We apply a professional-grade liquid termiticide around your foundation, creating a continuous barrier that kills termites on contact and prevents entry. This treatment lasts for years.
Step 5: Termite Baiting System (Optional)
We can install termite bait stations around your property. Termites carry the bait back to the colony, eliminating the entire colony.
Step 6: Wood Treatment (If Needed)
For existing infestations, we treat infested wood directly with termiticide.
Step 7: Ongoing Monitoring & Prevention
We recommend annual termite inspections and regular monitoring to ensure your home remains protected.
