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.
