Drywood vs. subterranean, how do I know which I have?
Drywood termites leave dry, sand-like pellets (frass) and live entirely inside the wood with no soil connection. Subterranean termites build mud tubes from the ground up to the wood and need soil moisture to survive. Our inspection identifies the species before we recommend treatment.
Do I really need to tent the whole house?
Not always. Localized drywood activity can often be treated with foam injection and borate. Fumigation is recommended when activity is widespread, multi-area, or when an inspector can't access all infested wood. We'll lay out the trade-offs so you can make an informed call.
