Termite Control & Treatment
Protect your biggest investment. Professional termite inspections, treatments, and prevention for Northern Virginia homes.
Termites: The Silent Destroyers
Termites cause more damage to US homes than fires, floods, and storms combined – and homeowners insurance doesn't cover it. In Northern Virginia's humid climate, termites are active year-round, silently eating your home from the inside out.
At Matar Pest Control, we've protected homes from termites since 1991. Our comprehensive approach includes thorough inspections, targeted treatments, and ongoing monitoring to ensure your home stays termite-free.
💰 The True Cost of Termite Damage
- Structural repairs average $8,000+ (can exceed $50,000)
- NOT covered by homeowners insurance
- Reduces home resale value significantly
- Can compromise structural integrity of your home
- Often discovered only after major damage is done
Termites in Northern Virginia
🏠 Eastern Subterranean Termite
The most destructive termite in North America. Lives underground, builds mud tubes to reach wood. A single colony can consume 5 grams of wood per day – that's 2x4 lumber in just months.
👑 Termite Swarmers
Winged termites that emerge in spring to start new colonies. If you see swarmers inside your home, you likely have an established colony nearby. Often confused with flying ants.
🪵 Drywood Termites
Less common in Virginia but occasionally found. Live inside wood without soil contact. Create small kick-out holes and leave behind pellet-shaped droppings.
⚠️ Warning Signs of Termite Infestation
- Mud tubes on foundation walls, piers, or crawl spaces
- Swarmers (winged termites) inside your home, especially in spring
- Discarded wings near windows, doors, or light fixtures
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Bubbling or peeling paint that looks like water damage
- Sagging floors, doors, or windows that stick
- Frass (termite droppings) that look like sawdust or coffee grounds
