Termite Species on Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island is home to two main termite species, Pacific dampwood termites and subterranean termites.
Dampwood termites thrive in humid coastal climates and feed on damp or decaying wood, often found in logs, stumps, or moisture-prone structures. They’re large (15–25 mm) with a dark brown coloration.
Subterranean termites, although smaller, are much more destructive. These termites live underground and build narrow mud tubes to reach wooden beams and foundations.
Where Termites Are Found in Homes
Termites are often found in crawl spaces, decks, basements, or wooden frames near moisture. The best way to get rid of termites starts with finding the source early and addressing the humidity or wood-to-ground contact that allows colonies to spread.
Signs You May Have Termites
Common warning signs include soft or hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes along walls, or finding small piles of sawdust-like dust, known as frass.
Discarded wings near windows or doors may also indicate a nearby swarm. Early inspection is essential to prevent structural damage and costly repairs.
Our Termite Treatment & Removal Process
Every termite infestation is different, but our proven three-step process provides safe, reliable results for homeowners and businesses alike.
Thorough Inspection
Our technicians use detection tools and visual checks to locate termite colonies and assess the full extent of damage.
We identify problem areas inside and outside the structure to guide the best treatment plan.
Targeted Termite Treatment
We apply precise, eco-friendly treatments such as localized liquid barriers or baiting systems that eliminate colonies at the source. Our low-toxicity products are safe for families and pets.
