Formosan Termite Control San Diego

It Takes 90 Days For Formosan Termites To Severely Damage Your Home.

Formosan subterranean termites are nicknamed the "Super Termite" for their ability to rapidly consume wood and can severely damage the structure in as little as three months. Until recently, Formosan termites have not been a problem in San Diego county. Unlike Western Subterranean termites, a more extreme approach is required to control Formosan subterranean termites.

The first step in controlling an established colony of Formosan termites is to disrupt the connection between the crown colony and the structure. To eliminate these "termite highways." we destroy all mud tubes. Next, we treat the soil and pier posts with state registered termiticides. To ensure Formosan termites don’t enter the structure through it’s foundation, your termite service technician will drill and treat any cement porches or slabs attached to the structure. License-To-Kill will remove all wood and cellulose items from under the sub area.

If only the exterior is treated, the remaining Formosan termites in the structure will attempt to establish a new, above ground colony. To ensure an above ground colony is never built, License-To-Kill will tent fumigate the entire building. It should be noted that in some rare circumstances, local treatment options for Formosan termites may be available. Local treatments require the wall voids to be cut into when the structure is infested with Formosan termites. Your License-To-Kill termite service technician will advise you of whether local Formosan termite treatment is right for you.

Preventative Treatments

Stop Subterranean termites before they infest a structure by treating pre-construction sites! Subterranean termites thrive in excessively moist conditions and feed exclusively on wood materials. Never leave wood in direct contact with the soil. For pre-constrution, soil treatments with state registered termiticides should be applied to all slabs and foundations within 72 hours of the cement pouring.
