Each property is unique, with some features that will attract termites and insects to it, so each house or business will be unique in how easy or difficult it will be to treat. Because of this, Bug-Masters employs an industry-leading termite baiting system as an alternative to liquid termiticide soil barriers.
It is our responsibility to give you a full answer to all of your treatment options and what may possibly be effective in your specific situation and, naturally, to recommend one that we find to be most effective as well as least costly to you.
At Bug-Masters, we’ve been providing quality termite control solutions since 1990. We’re in the field every day, inspecting and protecting homes from termites, utilizing techniques and products that have been proven to work well over time in the unique conditions of our area.
We start with a thorough inspection of your home, both inside and outside. Our experts look for mud tubes, hollowed wood, termite feces, and other less apparent signs of infestation. We assess the extent of any damage and identify the termite species.
From what we discover, we develop a treatment plan specific to your soil and structure conditions. Subterranean or drywood termites, we suggest the best treatment for long-term control.
For subterranean termites, we apply a strong termiticide to the ground around the footing, crawlspaces, and entry points. It creates an undetectable barrier that the termites don't even sense—so they bring it back to the colony unknowingly, killing it at its origin.
If already in wood structures, we use direct treatments to kill them immediately. This is usually complemented by active infestation bait systems.
We offer follow-up inspections and voluntary monitoring programs to maintain your property protection. Our technicians also offer professional recommendations to reduce wood-to-soil contact and moisture—two of the biggest sources of future infestations. With Bug Masters on your side, termites don't stand a chance. Call now and let us bug it up—before they eat you out of house and home.
Termites have been nicknamed "silent destroyers" for a reason. They can eat through wood, floors, and even wallpaper and nobody knows it—until too late. The best defense is early detection if you wish to avoid expensive structural damage to your business or home.
The following are the most common signs of termite infestation:
Subterranean termites construct narrow mud tubes to move from their colony to food. The pencil-diameter tunnels are most commonly seen along foundation walls, crawlspaces, or in basements. If you see them, termites are probably there.
Termites consume wood from the inside out. If you tap on a wooden section and it is hollow, or if you have wood that is easily broken or crumbles when you push on it, you have termite damage.
After swarming, reproductive termites shed wings. Small groups of thin, transparent wings near window frames or door sills are an indication of the mature colony looking to expand.
Termites' water in the walls will make paint bubble and peel. Although this can also occur with water damage, it's worth having a professional examine it more closely.
Because termites consume wood, they can lead to warping, especially close to frames. If your doors or windows suddenly stick or fail to close, termites may be warping the structure from the inside.
Drywood termites leave small, pellet-like droppings referred to as frass. Small piles of these can be seen under infested wood or along baseboards. If you notice any of these symptoms, don't hesitate. Termites can cause costly damage before you even realize they exist.
Bug Masters offers professional inspections and effective treatments to stop termites dead in their tracks—before they eat you out of house and home.
The Costly Pests You Just Can't Afford to Ignore
Termites are the most destructive of all insects in the United States, causing billions of dollars of structural damage to homes and buildings each year. These small pests work behind the scenes, eating the wood of buildings—usually without any clear sign of issues.
Termites infest 49 of the 50 U.S. states, which means they pose a widespread threat to property owners nationwide. Sadly, Virginia Beach and the surrounding area is located in what's known as a high-risk zone for termite infestation. What that means is that local homes and buildings are extremely vulnerable and must be inspected on a regular basis.
The damage termites do isn't merely a nuisance—it's costly. Termite damage totals over $5 billion in lost property annually nationwide. Worst of all, most homeowner policies exclude this kind of damage, so you'll be the one paying if you don't act.
One of the most infuriating aspects of termites is that they will infest a house for months—and sometimes years—without anyone even knowing. They nest behind walls, beneath floors, or in foundations, where they eat wood 24/7.
Termites are attracted to damp places, and as such, places of high humidity such as Virginia Beach are prone to infestation. Leaks from pipes, crawl spaces, and poorly ventilated basements are sure to provide the perfect breeding ground for the insects.
Because of the high risk in our region, it's prudent to act before there's a noticeable problem. Routine checks and preventative treatments will cost you thousands less in the long term in repairs and give you the assurance that your property is secure. Termites are more than a nuisance—they're a danger to the health and value of your home.
Bug-Masters provides comprehensive termite inspections and treatments tailored to the Virginia Beach area. Don't wait until it's too late—call now to arrange your inspection.
