Termite Control in Beaverton, Oregon

There are 2 specific types of termites that our company deals with. The first is the Pacific dampwood termite and the second is the western subterranean termite. Both are nasty pests that use wood as a food source, rather than nesting and are more destructive than other insects, such as carpenter ants.

There are a number of conditions that cause termites to choose your home for their new meal. Subterranean termites move in when the colony is present under the footprint of the home, usually moving in from the foundation. They are often found in narrow spaces, no bigger than 1/64 of an inch, such as crawl spaces, cracks garage floors, and natural cracks on basement floors.

Damp wood termites, on the other hand, are present in the home when different, damper conditions exist. These termites of often found when there is earth-to-wood contact, excessive humidity or dampness in crawl spaces, or chronic leaking from plumbing or roofing.

Because they nest and feed in small, narrow places, it makes it difficult to detect them without professional experience.
