Subterranean Termite Treatment in West Palm Beach
Edison Termite & Property Care — Subterranean Termite Treatment services in West Palm Beach
Subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes up into the structure to feed. Treatment puts a chemical barrier between the colony and the house, usually along the foundation and at every place a slab is broken by plumbing or an expansion joint.
Which ones you get here
- Eastern subterranean termite: Smaller colonies, slower damage, and a standard soil barrier around the foundation usually handles it.
- Formosan subterranean termite: Colonies run much larger, so the job needs more termiticide and a wider perimeter, not just a spot treatment.
- Asian subterranean termite: This one builds nests above ground, inside walls or attics, so soil treatment alone won't reach it — we have to find and treat the nest itself.
What subterranean termite treatment involves
- Trench the perimeter: We dig a narrow trench along the foundation where termiticide goes into the soil.
- Drill the slab: Where the slab is solid concrete, we drill at intervals and inject termiticide underneath it.
- Treat plumbing penetrations: Every pipe that passes through the slab is a gap termites use, so each one gets treated individually.
- Patch and check access points: Drill holes get patched, and we note where mud tubes or activity were found for the next inspection.
When you need it
- Mud tubes running up the foundation wall or over a slab edge.
- Swarms of winged termites near windows or doors, usually after rain.
- Wood that sounds hollow or crumbles when you press it.
- Piles of shed wings on windowsills or in spider webs near the house.
What changes the job
A block house on a slab is a different job than a wood-frame house with a crawlspace — crawlspaces mean working under the house, not just around it. Older plumbing often means more penetrations through the slab, and each one is a point termites can use. Mulch beds and dense landscaping against the foundation usually mean more entry points once we start digging.
