Subterranean Termites

The most common and destructive termite species. They build mud tubes to access wood and can cause extensive structural damage.

High damage potential

Dampwood Termites

These termites prefer moist, decaying wood. They're often found in areas with water damage or high humidity.

Moderate damage risk

Termite Control FAQs

Get answers about termite identification, inspections, and treatment

QUESTION:How do I know if I have termites?

ANSWER:Signs of termites include mud tubes on foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows or doors (from swarmers), and small piles of wood-colored droppings. Termites cause billions in property damage annually. In Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona, subterranean termites are most common. If you see any signs, call (509) 471-5767 immediately for a professional inspection. Our termite specialists use advanced detection equipment to find hidden colonies. Early detection saves thousands in repair costs.

QUESTION:What is the difference between termites and flying ants?

ANSWER:Termites have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and thick waists. Flying ants have bent antennae, unequal wings (front longer than back), and pinched waists. Termite swarmers are often mistaken for flying ants, but termites cause structural damage while ants don't. If you see winged insects indoors, especially in spring, save a specimen and call us for identification. Our pest identification service is free across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona. Schedule an inspection today.

QUESTION:Do you offer termite inspections in Oregon?

ANSWER:Yes! We provide comprehensive termite inspections throughout Oregon, including Hermiston, Milton-Freewater, and surrounding areas, as well as Washington, Idaho, and Arizona.
