Termite Control

Ants or Termites?

Termite

Winged Ant

If you see winged, ant-like insects flying around your property, you need to know whether they are ants or subterranean termites.

If they are swarming termites, an established colony of these house damaging insects are looking for new nesting areas... and your home may be in danger.

If you suspect that these wood destroying insects are in your home, call us immediately.

Our trained staff will confirm identifications and recommend a treatment program (if necessary) to protect your home.

Termites Damage More Homes Than Fires & Storms

Few insects strike as much fear in the hearts oand the bank accounts of homeowners in the U.S. than the lowly termite.

Temites account for more than 1 billion in property damage to over 600,000 homes per year. This is more than the annual dollar damage value from fires, storms and earthquakes combined.

Termite control in the home has three basic facets: Prevention, Barrier application And baiting.

Homeowners can easily discourage termite infestation by never stacking scraps of lumber or firewood next to a home and vy calling our pest management professionals once a year to inspect your home.

You got termites where?

Some of the more unusual places that Capitol Exterminating System has treated for termites were: in a bank vault (eating the contents of safety deposit boxes), in a homeowners safe, which was built into the floor (eating the contents inside), inside the emeregency room of a hospital (no one was eaten), in a wine cellar (eating the labels off the bottles).
