Termites are a serious concern for homeowners in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. The two most common species in the region are the Pacific dampwood termite and the Western subterranean termite. These wood-destroying pests thrive in Oregon’s damp climate, making homes with moisture problems particularly vulnerable. Termites feed on cellulose found in wood, paper, and other organic materials, which can lead to significant structural damage if left untreated. If you’ve noticed signs of termites, such as hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes, or discarded wings, it’s crucial to act quickly to prevent costly damage.
Schedule TreatmentTermites are often called “silent destroyers” because they can cause extensive damage before you realize there’s a problem. Here are some common signs of a termite infestation:
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to contact a professional pest control service immediately.
At EcoValley Pest Control, we specialize in comprehensive termite removal services using proven methods that ensure long-term protection for your home. Termites can be difficult to detect and eliminate without professional help due to their hidden nature and large colonies. Our expert technicians use advanced techniques to identify the type of termite infesting your home and implement effective treatments.
Hiring a professional pest control service for termite infestations offers several key advantages:
The two most common species in Oregon are the Pacific dampwood termite (Zootermopsis angusticollis) and the Western subterranean termite (Reticulitermes hesperus). Dampwood termites prefer moist wood and are often found in areas with high humidity or water damage, while subterranean termites live underground and build mud tubes to access food sources above ground.
Signs of a termite infestation include mud tubes along foundations, hollow-sounding wood, buckling floors or ceilings, discarded wings near windows or doors, and small piles of frass (termite droppings).
Termites are difficult to eliminate without professional help due to their hidden colonies and large numbers. DIY methods may not reach the entire colony or prevent future infestations. Professional pest control services are recommended for complete eradication.
To prevent future infestations:
While termites do not pose direct health risks to humans, they can cause significant structural damage to homes by eating through wooden beams, floors, walls, and furniture. This damage can compromise the safety of your home if left untreated.
Our technicians will assess and directly address your pest issues, tailoring our methods specifically to your home or business needs.
Expect thorough inspections and targeted pest control treatments that resolve your specific pest problems efficiently.
