How Do I Know I Have Termites?
Immediate Termite Control
Termite Signs
Mud Tubes
Subterranean termites enter homes through mud tubes that run up from the foundation.
Swarmers
Winged reproductive termites appear after periods of heavy rain or in late summer / early fall.
Kick Out Holes
As termites tunnel through wood, they use kick out holes to discard fecal pellets and frass.
Discarded Wings
After reproductive termites mate, they shed their wings typically around doors, windows or attic spaces.
Pellets / Frass
Termites remove waste as they tunnel, creating small mounds of fecal pellets underneath kick out holes.
Wood Damage
Weak, cracking or damaged wood with tunnels underneath is a sure sign you have termites.

Termite Treatment Options
Depending on the severity of your termite infestation, our professional technicians may recommend a fumigation or a local treatment. All of our services are guaranteed to keep your home termite-free.
Fumigation
Fumigation is the most common method of termite extermination. In situations where termites are inaccessible to secondary methods, tenting your home or office is a guaranteed way to eliminate termites. After our technicians have performed a full inspection of your home, we may recommend fumigation to eradicate your termite problem.
Spot Treatment
Local treatment is a great solution for eliminating isolated infestations of termites. Home and business owners who have had fumigation or heat treatments within the past five years may also qualify for local treatment. Termite spot treatments can also be used in commercial buildings and apartment complexes, where moving multiple residents may not be feasible.

Drywood Termites
These social insects infest dry wood and do not require contact with the soil like Subterranean termites. Each year, drywood termites cause millions in damages throughout the southwest. If left untreated for a long period of time, they can compromise a building or structure’s safety. Preventing a drywood infestation can be very difficult. Since these termites usually begin their colonies in the wood by flying to the structure, you will have a very tough time keeping them from arriving. Eliminating Drywood Termites really is a job best left to licensed professional pest control companies. Griffin Pest Management offers a variety of drywood termite treatments that include localized spot treatment, fumigation and heat. Griffin also offers wood repairs and restoration to infested areas.
Subterranean Termites
Every year, Americans spend $4.5 billion dollars controlling and repairing damage left by subterranean termites. Subterranean termites threaten the foundation of a structure, by undermining the soil and buried wood. If left untreated, these termites can cause thousands in damage and almost always require extensive repairs to be made to the structure, concrete slab or foundation. Griffin Pest Management offers a variety of treatment methods for subterranean termites. Our technician will start with a thorough inspection of the property to assess the scope of the infestation. Once determined, the technician will recommend a treatment plan that will best fit your needs and budget. Griffin offers escrow inspections for real estate agents as well. With our Pro-Shield and Pro-Shield Plus programs, Griffin Pest Management will come back once a year for localized spot treatments to prevent termites from returning.
