Drywood Termite Treatment in Alexandria
Kisatchie Timber Defense — Drywood Termite Treatment services in Alexandria
Drywood termites don't need soil contact and they don't build mud tubes. They live right inside the wood they're eating - rafters, window trim, furniture - and we treat the wood itself rather than the ground around it. Most calls start when somebody finds a pile of pellets under a windowsill or a scatter of wings on a sill after dark.
Which ones you get here
- Attic and roof framing: Galleries often sit behind soffit or eave boards, so we open a section to get a drill and injector straight into the wood.
- Window and door frames: Exterior trim takes the first hit from swarmers, and treating it means drilling along the gallery line and plugging the holes after.
- Furniture and antiques: A dresser or chair with an active colony can sometimes be treated on its own, without opening up any part of the house.
- Structural timbers: Beams and joists carrying weight get checked for how much sound wood is left before we decide spot treatment is enough.
What drywood termite treatment involves
- Locate the galleries: We tap suspect wood, probe it with an awl, and trace frass piles back to the kick-out hole feeding them.
- Drill and inject: Small holes go straight into the gallery, and termiticide dust or foam goes into the void where the colony is actually living.
- Treat surrounding wood: Exposed framing and trim near the find get a surface treatment, since drywood colonies can sit several feet from where the frass turned up.
- Recheck for a second colony: We go back over the area once it's drilled, because one pile of pellets rarely points to just one colony.
When you need it
- Small pellet piles, like coarse sand or ground pepper, collecting under windowsills or furniture.
- Pinhole-sized kick-out holes in trim, furniture, or exposed framing.
- A scatter of shed wings on a windowsill some evening, with no ants anywhere near them.
- A drawer or chair leg that sounds hollow or papery when you knock on it.
What changes the job
How big this job gets depends on where the colony is and how long it's been there. One window frame or one piece of furniture is an afternoon. A run of galleries found through the rafters, or more than one colony scattered through the house, means more wood opened up and more drilling before we're done. Older homes with original heart-pine trim tend to turn up more of these finds than newer construction, just from more years of exposure.
