We will also check for any potential entry points and make recommendations to seal them off and prevent future intrusions.

Once we have completed the full inspection, we will present you with a detailed report outlining our findings and our top recommendations for treatment. Our team is skilled in a range of termite control methods, including baiting, spraying, and fumigation, and we will work with you to determine the best course of action based on the severity of the infestation and your specific needs.

Termidor For Bug Busters Termite Infestation Control Service

Termites cause over $6 billion of damage annually in the U.S. alone. Having a pest professional protect your home with Termidor® termiticide/insecticide is the best way to rest assured it won’t become a part of that statistic.

Like many other termite control products, Termidor is applied as a liquid, but that’s where the similarities end. Many older liquid termite products are repellents, which termites can not only detect, but also take great pains to stay away from and circumvent. In fact, given the tiny entry gaps that termites are able to fit through, it is virtually impossible to maintain a secure chemical repellent barrier around your home.

But even other non-repellent liquids can’t match the unprecedented performance or success rate of Termidor. Other products claim to be “nearly”, practically”, or “almost” as effective, but the difference between “almost as good as Termidor” and Termidor itself, can make all the difference in the world when it comes to ensuring your home is termite free.

Termidor features the most effective termite-control technology and application methods available today. For more than a decade, Bug Busters has been using Termidor to successfully treat and protect thousands of homes in Virginia.

In addition to our termite control services, Bug Buster Pest Control also offers ongoing prevention and protection services to help keep your property free of termites. This includes regular inspections and treatments to ensure that any potential infestations are caught early and dealt with effectively.

Virginia is Home to Drywood Termites, the Formosan Termites, and Eastern Subterranean Termites

· The Eastern subterranean termite is the most common and most widely distributed termite in North America.

· This native American pest feeds on such cellulose materials as structural wood, wood fixtures, paper, books, and cotton. Occasionally, it will even attack the roots of shrubs and trees.

· A mature colony of Eastern subterranean termites can range from a low of 20,000 to a high of 5 million workers, with an average of 300,000. The colony’s queen will add 5,000 to 10,000 eggs per year to the total.

· While Eastern subterranean termite colonies are not the largest termite colonies you can find, there will often be more than one colony working in a single building.

· Signs of Eastern subterranean termites include dirt-colored tubes built to serve as protected paths from the earth to the wood the termites are feeding on, and the translucent wings shed by the kings and queens during swarming. Swarming usually occurs in the spring, but other, smaller swarms can occur throughout the summer and fall.

Some quick facts about Eastern subterranean termites:

· An average Eastern subterranean termite colony can consume 5 grams of wood per day, the equivalent of 2⅓ linear feet of a 2′ x 4′ pine board annually.

· Colony growth is slow, and it may take years before swarmers are produced.

· Eastern subterranean termites can enter buildings through cracks less than 1/16 of an inch wide.

· The termite colony is made up of different types (castes) of termites—each with separate work responsibilities.

· Although Eastern subterranean termite colonies are largely located in the ground below the frost line, secondary colonies can exist above ground, and examples of true above ground colonies existing without any ground contact have been seen.

· However, such above ground colonies have access to moisture and often the source is a roof or plumbing leak.

· Eastern subterranean termites will often build mud tubes for travel between their colonies and their food sources.

· The king and queen in a colony can live for 10 to 30 years, while workers live for about two years.

Do Termite Swarmers Mean Infestation?

Termites thrive in large colonies where populations can reach more than one million. A colony consists of several structurally differentiated termite forms living together as castes (including reproductives, soldiers, and workers) with different functions in community life. In the spring, winged reproductives leave the parental nest in swarms to create a new colony. The swarming lasts less than an hour, so it’s very likely you’ll never even see it. The winged reproductives themselves look quite a bit like flying ants, for which they are often mistaken.
