Termite Treatment Options in Fulton

Termites in Fulton homes come in two main kinds, and each kind is treated differently. Soil-dwelling subterranean termites live in the ground and travel up through mud tubes on foundation and crawl space walls. Drywood termites live entirely inside the wood and leave tiny pellets behind. Liquid barriers, bait stations and tenting each fit certain situations, and the technician walks through the pros and cons after an inspection. Annual inspections and a careful look at the warranty terms are worth as much attention as the treatment. Termite damage often stays hidden inside walls, so winged swarmers or mud tubes by the foundation are worth a call before more wood is damaged.

Before the Exterminator Arrives

  • Leave the damage alone. Do not scrape away mud tubes or poke damaged wood until someone has seen it. Disturbing it or spraying can scatter termites and make the evidence harder to read.
  • Save swarmers and wings. Collect a few winged insects or shed wings in a sealed jar or tape them to a card. That helps the inspector tell termites from flying ants.
  • Take photos and note dates. Photograph mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, pellets and any swarm. A record helps at the inspection and with any warranty or sale paperwork.
  • Reduce moisture around the house. Fix leaks, clear gutters, and move wood, mulch and cardboard away from the foundation. Do not carry infested wood or firewood into other parts of the property.

Signs You Need Pest Control For Termites

  • Mud tubes on foundation walls. Subterranean termites build earthen tunnels about the width of a pencil from the soil up to the wood, along foundations, piers and crawl space walls.
  • Swarmers or shed wings near windows. Winged termites emerge in spring or after rain for many species, and leave piles of equal-length wings near windows, doors and lights. Flying ants have bent antennae and a pinched waist.
  • Hollow-sounding or sagging wood. Subterranean termites eat wood from the inside along the grain, so floors, baseboards and door frames may sound hollow when tapped, or paint may bubble.
  • Tiny pellets like sand or sawdust. Drywood termites push small, hard, six-sided pellets out of tiny kick holes, and these pile up below infested wood in attics, trim and furniture.
  • Doors and windows that suddenly stick. Damaged wood or moisture from termite activity can warp frames. Sticking doors do not prove termites by themselves, so an inspection is the way to know.

Local conditions

Pest Control For Termites in Fulton: What to Know

Across the Plains, subterranean termites are the main type, active when the soil is warm, and swarms often follow spring rain. Drywood termites are rare in areas with cold winters. Missouri sits in the heavy termite zone, so wood-to-soil contact, mulch against siding and moisture at the foundation are worth watching.

Calls about termite problems come from every part of Fulton, including Calwood, Carrington and Millersburg.

How the Job Is Done

  • Inspect and confirm the type. The technician checks the foundation, crawl space, attic, trim and every place wood touches soil, taps suspect wood and decides whether the termites are subterranean or drywood. The type decides the options.
  • Choose the treatment. Subterranean termites are handled with a liquid barrier in the soil, bait stations, or both. Drywood termites throughout a house may call for tenting, while a small area can sometimes get a spot treatment.
  • Monitor and renew. Annual inspections and warranties are common. Read what the warranty covers, such as retreatment only or retreatment plus repair, and what yearly renewals cost.
