Termite Control In Greater Atlanta, GA

Don't Allow Termites To Destroy Your Greater Atlanta Home

Termites are problematic pests to encounter in your home due to the nature of their work. These wood-eating insects infiltrate your property from underneath, traveling through the insides of your structure and destroying it. Termites are tiny pests that work diligently and quietly, causing massive structural damage that homeowners' insurance rarely covers. The most common termites we contend with here in Lawrenceville are subterranean termites. These termites travel through the ground and into your home via mud tubes. Once inside, they target water-damaged wood and wooden structures and slowly weaken the structural integrity of your home.

Needless to say, Lawrenceville termites cause huge problems when allowed to live unchecked in your home. The longer you hesitate after discovering a problem, the more extensive your damage is likely to be. Reach out immediately to ProCare Pest Services at the first sign of termite activity.

Our Greater Atlanta, GA Termite Treatment Options

termite damage

The first step toward an effective termite treatment is to locate their presence and identify any conducive conditions that will attract termites to your property. Our team offers in-depth inspections of problem areas on the exterior wall or water sources.

Here are some ways termites can find their way into your home:

  • Any crack, crevice, or other openings in the foundation or siding of your property offers ample opportunity for termites to enter your structure.
  • Subterranean termites, in particular, travel through the soil in order to infiltrate wooden structures; firewood, mulch, and overgrown shrubs are just several examples of objects that grant access to structural wood.
  • Leaky pipes and other objects producing improper drainage and poor airflow can cause moisture problems and eventually attract termites.

At ProCare Pest Services, we can repair, re-treat, and move any existing bonds or treatments from another termite control company. We use bait stations that we install in the ground and check on the bait quarterly, replacing cartridges for active termites. We also offer trench-and-treat services; we will dig a trench around your house, apply our liquid treatment, and take over existing liquid renewals.

In addition to our general termite treatments, we also offer pre-construction inspection and treatment services. Call today to learn more.
