Drywood Termite Control & Wood Repair Service

Drywood termites feed on dry wood. A drywood colony attacks structural timbers and woodwork of buildings often found in attic framing, wood beams, rafters, siding, fascia, eaves, trims and any other dry wood material in a home.  

This termite inspection revealed drywood termites infesting the wood trim of a manufactured home and the siding of the detached shed.

The termite control work was scheduled and performed in a timely fashion. 

First, the damaged trim was removed from the infested structure during this termite treatment. Second, the wall void was treated with a termiticide by drilling through the exterior siding.

Rodenator Service - Ground Burrowing Rodent Control for Gophers, Squirrels and Moles

The Rodenator is a chemical-free solution for ground-burrowing pests like gophers, squirrels and moles. The Rodenator combines a precisely measured combination of an oxygen and propane mixture that delivers a concussive force to the underground burrow systems of vertebrate pests. The Rodenator can also collapse the tunnel systems ensuring that new burrowing pests aren't able to easily move into the existing burrow systems.

Gopher Control Alternatives

AmeriGuard offers a variety of options for getting rid of gophers and squirrels. The Rodenator is perfect for open landscapes where a severe gopher problem exists. The Rodenator is also a great alternative for sensitive areas in which pesticides cannot be used, especially in organic farming, wine vineyards and horse ranch settings, among others. The Rodenator is an option for pesticide-free gopher treatment.


AmeriGuard recently completed a gopher inspection where we observed a severe infestation of gophers and an abundance of fresh gopher activity. Due to the open space provided by this property and the length of time of the gopher problem, we were able to use the Rodenator to provide a quick and effective knockdown of the gopher population.


We filmed some of the gopher service using the Rodenator. 




The Rodenator is considered an organic gopher control method, meaning that it is safe for use in organic farming settings. The Rodenator is an environmentally safe alternative to gopher baiting services.
