Drywood Termite Treatment in West Palm Beach
Edison Termite & Property Care — Drywood Termite Treatment services in West Palm Beach
Drywood termites live inside the wood itself, with no need for soil contact. We treat wherever we find them working in West Palm Beach homes: attic framing, window and door trim, furniture, even baseboards. The job is either a spot treatment on one gallery or a whole-structure job on several.
Which ones you get here
- Single accessible gallery: Drill and inject right at the gallery, no tenting, done in a visit or two.
- Multiple galleries through shared framing: Once it's spread through connected rafters or studs, spot treatment can't reach it all, and fumigation becomes the only reliable option.
- Furniture or cabinetry infestation: The piece can sometimes be isolated and treated on its own instead of involving the structure at all.
- Infestation found during a real estate transaction: Treatment has to be documented to satisfy the WDO report, and timing is usually tight around a closing date.
What drywood termite treatment involves
- Locate the galleries: We probe suspect wood, sound out walls and trim, and follow frass piles back to where they're falling from.
- Decide the method: We open up enough wood to tell whether this is one gallery or a structure full of them, and that decides spot treatment or fumigation.
- Treat the wood: For spot work we drill small holes and inject foam or dust directly into the galleries, then seal the holes.
- Fumigate if needed: For whole-structure cases the house gets tented, gassed, and aerated before anyone goes back in.
When you need it
- Small round holes in trim or framing with piles of hard, sand-like pellets underneath.
- Discarded wings on a windowsill, usually after a swarm.
- Wood that sounds hollow or papery when you knock on it.
- Furniture with tiny pinholes you don't remember being there.
What changes the job
Size of the job comes down to how far it's spread before anyone noticed. One gallery in a window frame is an afternoon. Galleries running through shared attic rafters usually mean fumigation, which means packing up the house and tenting it. Older homes with original wood framing tend to have more hidden damage once we open things up, and furniture gets its own call on whether it's worth treating or replacing.
