How Do You Get Rid Of Termites In Washington?
Termites eat the wood of trees–dead or alive–and any wooden structures in the area. They spread quickly from one “victim” to the next, and can cause structural damage to a property, thereby reducing its value. Washington’s wide-ranging forests are prone to dampwood termite and subterranean termite infestations (termites that can travel by air or through soil). Though some people in Washington treat termites with professional fumigation, other choose to take matters into their own hands. Identify the species of termite you have. Dampwood termites prey only on damp wood and are very large. They live only in wood but can travel through soil. Subterranean termites are smaller and can eat both damp and dry wood. Knowing which type of termite you have will present you with several treatment options. Correct any structural problems to get rid of dampwood termites. This includes leaky pipes, places where damp wood comes into contact with the soil and damp wood piles. Get rid of these sources
