Frequently asked questions about termite control in Salem
Which termites live in Oregon?
Western subterranean termites and Pacific dampwood termites are the two that damage homes in the Willamette Valley. Subterranean termites build mud tubes from the soil up to the wood. Dampwood termites need wet wood, so they point to a leak, poor drainage or wood touching soil.
What does a termite inspection include?
A technician checks the foundation, crawl space, sill plates, decks and any wood in contact with soil for mud tubes, frass, blistered paint and hollow-sounding wood. Inspections take about an hour for a typical Salem home, and you get a clear explanation of what was found and what the options are.
I saw winged insects swarming inside. Are they termites?
Possibly. Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a thick waist and four equal-length wings; flying ants have bent antennae, a pinched waist and unequal wings. Dampwood termites swarm in late summer and fall in Oregon. Save a few in a bag and we can identify them.
How is a termite problem treated?
Subterranean termites are usually treated with a liquid barrier applied to the soil around and under the foundation, sometimes combined with baits. Dampwood termites are treated by correcting the moisture problem and replacing or treating the affected wood. The right plan depends on the species and the structure.
Do you treat termites outside Salem?
Yes. We inspect and treat termites throughout the Willamette Valley, including Salem, Keizer, Albany, Dallas, Woodburn, McMinnville, Silverton, Stayton, Monmouth and Independence. Older homes with crawl spaces and wood siding are the most common calls.
