Subterranean Termite Treatment in Alexandria

Kisatchie Timber Defense — Subterranean Termite Treatment services in Alexandria

This is the work of cutting a termite colony off from your house: treating the soil and foundation so the termites in the ground can't reach the wood above it. We do it once we've confirmed activity or a conducive condition, not on a calendar — a slab job in Alexandria and a pier house two doors down can need different treatment on the same afternoon.

Which ones you get here

• Native subterranean termites: Smaller colonies, slower damage, and a standard liquid soil barrier around the foundation usually does the job.
• Formosan subterranean termites: Colonies run larger and more aggressive here, so we often pair the soil treatment with bait stations rather than relying on the barrier alone.
• Slab-on-grade foundations: We have to drill through the slab at intervals to get termiticide into the soil underneath, then plug the holes after.
• Raised houses on piers: The crawlspace gives us direct access to bare soil, so there's no drilling — just trenching and treating around each pier and the perimeter.
• Termites already found inside a wall or sill: The soil barrier alone won't stop what's already fed in — that wood has to be treated or opened up, not just cut off.

What subterranean termite treatment involves

1. Find the entry points: We trace mud tubes and soil contact points along the foundation, piers, and any slab cracks to see where termites are actually getting in.
2. Trench and treat the soil: We dig a trench around the foundation (or under the house on piers) and treat the soil so it becomes a barrier termites won't cross.
3. Drill where the slab blocks the soil: On slab homes we drill through the concrete at set intervals, inject termiticide into the soil below, then seal the holes.
4. Set stations if the colony calls for it: For Formosan activity we install bait stations around the property to work alongside the barrier and monitor the colony over time.

When you need it

• Mud tubes running up a foundation wall, a pier, or inside a crawlspace.
• A pile of shed wings on a windowsill or porch after a warm evening, usually in late spring.
• Paint on a baseboard or door frame that looks blistered or feels soft when you press it.
• A floor that's started to sag or give slightly underfoot near an exterior wall.

What changes the job

Size of the job comes down to the foundation type, how far the colony has already spread, and what's found once we open things up. A slab needs drilling and patching that a pier house doesn't; a pier house needs more trenching but less concrete work. Mulch beds, old tree stumps, and plumbing penetrations close to the house all give termites an easier way in, and any wood already damaged has to be dealt with on top of the soil treatment.
