Termite prevention tips

Prevent a termite infestation from causing major damage to your commercial property with our prevention tip sheet.

Termites that could impact your business

Termites are highly organized insects that thrive on consistency. While there are about 50 termite species in North America, these three are the primary threats to your commercial property:

Subterranean

The most common type throughout North America, but particularly in states like California, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. They live in the soil and build mud tunnels to bridge the gap between the dirt and your building's wooden supports.

Formosan

An aggressive species of subterranean termites, also known as “super termites.” They are found primarily in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Alabama, and along the Gulf Coast. They live in huge colonies and can cause structural damage much faster than other types.

Drywood

Common in states nearer to the coast, like California and Florida, although they do not require contact with the ground to survive. They move directly into your furniture, shelving, or structural beams, making them harder to detect until the damage is done.

Common signs of termites in your business

You shouldn't have to be a detective because you have a business to run. However, catching these signs of termites early can save you from a liability nightmare. Keep an eye out for:

  1. Mud tubes: Look for small, pencil-sized tubes made of soil and wood particles along walls, foundations, or exposed areas.
  2. Wood damage: Check for hollow-sounding wood when tapped or wood that has a honeycomb appearance.
  3. Frass: Look for small, pellet-like droppings that resemble sawdust or tiny coffee grounds, often found near wood damage.
  4. Discarded wings:  Check for piles of crushed or discarded wings near windowsills or light fixtures, indicating swarming activity.
  5. Swollen or buckling wood:  Observe any warped or swollen wood surfaces, which may be a sign of moisture from termite activity.
  6. Visible termite activity: Encountering live termites, especially during warmer months, can signal an infestation.

By staying vigilant for these signs, you can help protect your business from costly termite damage.

Rentokil termite control

We don’t believe in "one-size-fits-all" solutions. Your business has unique hours and specific requirements. That’s why we offer services for a variety of pest control industries, whether it's healthcare, hospitality, or a warehouse. Our commercial termite exterminators offer the following commercial termite treatments:

  • In-ground baiting: A proactive defense that encourages termites in the soil to take the bait back to their colony to help eliminate the colony.
  • Above-ground treatment: Targeted solutions used when termites have already entered the building.
  • Liquid treatment: A protective barrier applied to the soil to provide defense for the structure.
  • Fumigation: For severe drywood termite infestations, fumigation may be used to ensure the entire colony is removed.
  • Professional inspections: We offer termite inspections for businesses, with our expert technicians inspecting your commercial property for signs of pests or potential entry points.

Termite FAQs

Termites are masters of hiding. While you might see mud tunnels or wings, they often stay out of sight. The best way to be sure is to have one of our commercial termite exterminators perform a termite inspection of your property.

Look for a well-established company backed by comprehensive warranties that can support you and your business for years to come, continuously researches the latest technology, and has local, highly trained commercial termite control experts who know your area.

A commercial termite prevention program is typically more cost-effective than a curative one. By using proactive defenses like bait stations, you can stop termite infestations before they reach your commercial property.

Most commercial property insurance policies do not cover termite damage. Check with your provider to verify your policy coverage.

DIY fixes can backfire. If you disturb a colony without a complete plan, they may simply move to a different, more hidden part of your building. Professional commercial termite control services help ensure the problem is actually solved.
