Are there termites in Colorado? Yes, there are!
​
Subterranean Termites
​
The Eastern subterranean termite is the most common and widely distributed termite in the USA, commonly found from southern Ontario, in all eastern all the way out to Colorado.
These termites build mud tubes and are responsible to causing billions of dollars in home repairs in the US annually.

Drywood Termites
​
Though less common, these pests are still rather prevalent. Although drywood termites are not established throughout all of Colorado, it is possible for them to spread through transported wooden objects, such as furniture and wine crates. Drywood termites have been found in areas far from their typical native habitats. Unlike subterranean termites that live underground, drywood termites generally find their way into the attic.

Prevention
We recommend every home and business get a pretreatment while the building is under construction to help prevent termite from moving in.
We also recommend our termite bait stations. These small stations are spaced around the home and will lure termites to a bait station, where they consume a special bait that disrupts their molting process, leading to colony-wide elimination.
​
​
We monitor these stations regularly to ensure nothing is getting to the home.
1
Inspection
We inspect areas that commonly have termites such as the foundation outside the home, in the crawlspace, and even the attic if we suspect drywood termite activity.
2
Treatment
Depending on the type of termite identified in the home, we perform a few different techniques to flush out any active termites and kill their entire colony including the queen.
​
This typically involves digging a trench around the home, drilling small holes into concrete areas near the home, and at times, directly injecting foam mixed with an active ingredient directly into infested wood in the home.
​
All of our procedures are safe for the environment and the home when done properly.

Warranty
If you opt to install termite monitoring stations, we perform annual checkups on the home and the stations to ensure no new activity enters the home. If it does, we will return to treat the home for FREE!
