Can you treat drywood termites without tenting?

Often, yes. When the infestation is localized, we treat the affected wood directly with injection, foaming, and borate application — no tent required. Widespread infestations may still need fumigation, and we tell you honestly which applies.

How do I know I have drywood termites?

The classic sign is small piles of tan, pellet-like frass under wood trim, plus tiny kick-out holes. Drywood termites live entirely inside the wood — attics, fascia, window frames — with no soil contact.

Are older Marco Island homes more at risk?

Coastal and older homes with exposed wood trim, fascia, and attics give drywood termites more to infest. We identify drywood versus subterranean at inspection and match the treatment to what is actually present.
