Drywood Termite Control in Monroe
Micro-Breach Exclusion — Drywood Termite Control services in Monroe
Drywood termites don't need soil contact and don't build mud tubes. They live right inside the wood, dry as that wood ever gets, and that's the job: finding where in the structure they've set up and dealing with just that wood, not the ground around it.
Which ones you get here
- Furniture and millwork infestation: Isolated to one piece, often a chair leg or a door frame, so it can sometimes be treated or swapped out without touching the house itself.
- Attic and roof framing infestation: Found from above during an attic inspection, usually treated in place with injected foam or dust rather than pulled out.
- Spread infestation across structural members: Galleries running through more than one piece of framing mean localized treatment won't reach it all, and we're talking whole-structure fumigation.
- Old, inactive galleries: Turned up during other repair work, no live termites left, different call than an active colony and usually just needs the wood assessed, not treated.
What drywood termite control involves
- Find the kick-out holes: We look for the small round holes where termites push pellets out of the gallery, usually the first real evidence.
- Sound and map the wood: We tap and probe surrounding members to see how far the galleries actually run before deciding on a treatment.
- Localized or whole-structure: A single piece gets drilled and injected; wood that's gone through multiple framing members usually means fumigation is the only way to reach it all.
- Treat and seal: Foam, dust, or borate goes into the galleries, holes get sealed, and we check back for fresh frass to know it held.
When you need it
- Small, sand-like pellets collecting on a windowsill or in the attic insulation.
- Pencil-sized holes in trim, furniture, or exposed framing with no other cause.
- A pile of shed wings near a window after a swarm, with no bugs left behind.
- Wood that sounds hollow or papery when you knock on it, with no soil touching it anywhere nearby.
What changes the job
A slab or piers doesn't matter here, drywood termites aren't coming up from the dirt. What matters is how far they've already traveled before anyone noticed. A single infested windowsill in a post-Katrina rebuild is a small job. Old growth framing in an inner-city house with galleries running through several joists is a different scope entirely, and we don't know which one it is until the wood's been opened up and sounded out.
