Subterranean Termite Control in Virginia Beach

ACE-Led Inspections Match Termite Treatment to Your Property

Our termite program is led by Associate Certified Entomologists and offers two proven options: a Termidor liquid barrier and the Sentricon Termite Baiting System. We recommend a treatment based on the structure and conditions we find instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

We’ve served homeowners and businesses throughout Hampton Roads and Tidewater since 2010. Virginia Beach’s coastal humidity, sandy soil, and high water table can support subterranean termite activity, often without visible damage for months or years. An inspection can uncover active termites and the conditions attracting them.

Termite Inspections Guided by Certified Entomologists

Our team is led by Associate Certified Entomologists, a credential awarded by the Entomological Society of America after a comprehensive examination covering insect biology, pest identification, and applicable laws. That training informs how we identify evidence, assess each property, and compare treatment options.

We’re locally owned and operated, and we’ve earned QualityPro accreditation for meeting industry standards related to technician training, ethical business practices, and professionalism. We also back our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If the job isn’t done right, we’ll fix it or refund the service.

Termidor & Sentricon Treatment Options

Subterranean termites live in the soil and travel between their colony and sources of wood. Depending on the property, we may recommend a liquid soil termiticide barrier or monitored baiting stations that target foraging termites.

Termidor Liquid Soil Treatment

We apply Termidor liquid termiticide to the soil around the structure’s perimeter, creating a treated barrier between the building and the surrounding ground. The treatment affects termites as they move through the soil between the subterranean termite colony and the structure.

Sentricon Termite Baiting System

Sentricon uses baiting stations installed around the property. Foraging termites encounter the bait and carry it back to the colony. The system provides continuous, monitored protection without requiring a continuous liquid barrier.

Our pest and termite plan that includes termite coverage carries a Sentricon renewable lifetime warranty with no re-treatment costs. Qualifying homes also receive a $100,000 damage warranty.

Signs of Subterranean Termites in Virginia Beach Homes

Termites can feed inside walls, flooring, and structural wood long before the damage becomes obvious. A single sign doesn’t confirm an infestation, but any of the following evidence warrants a professional inspection.

Watch for these signs of subterranean termite activity:

• Mud tubes: Pencil-sized tunnels made from soil and moisture, often found on foundation walls, piers, or floor joists.
• Swarmers or discarded wings: Winged reproductive termites commonly emerge after warm spring rain. Wings near doors or windows can indicate a nearby colony.
• Hollow-sounding wood: Wood may sound hollow when tapped because termites often feed beneath the visible surface.
• Bubbling or blistered paint: Feeding below the surface can cause changes that resemble moisture damage.
• Sticking doors or windows: Frames may shift or become difficult to operate when the surrounding wood has been damaged.
