Termite Detection and Wood Preservation

Protect Your Property with Schtager

As a home or business owner, you should be aware of the serious risk that termites pose to your property. Termite damage is not covered by most insurance policies, and statistically, your property is more likely to be damaged by termites than by fire. Early detection is crucial to minimize repair costs and preserve structural integrity.

Termites, often called silent destroyers, can cause major damage without any obvious signs. That’s why early detection and professional treatment are essential.

Our Professional Termite Services

At Schtager Wood Preservation, we specialize in identifying termite infestations and delivering highly effective treatment solutions. Our trained technicians use advanced tools to inspect for signs such as mud tubes, discarded wings, and wood damage.

When termites are found, we implement a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the infestation:

• Termite Baiting Systems: Eliminate colonies by targeting the queen for long-term results.
• Liquid Termiticide Treatments: Create protective soil barriers around structures and directly treat infested areas.
• Fumigation: Used for severe infestations to ensure total elimination of hidden termite colonies.

7 Warning Signs You May Have Termites

• Swarmers (Flying Insects): Often seen after rain, termites swarm at certain times of year and are drawn to light.
• Discarded Wings: Piles of shed wings near windows or foundations are signs of a recent swarm.
• Hollow or Blistering Wood: Damaged wood may sound hollow or develop surface cracks due to internal tunneling.
• Frass (Droppings): Small, sawdust-like pellets—usually drywood termite waste—can be found near nests.
• Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites build these for travel between the ground and food sources like wooden floors or baseboards.
• Stiff Doors or Windows: Moisture from termites’ tunneling causes wood to warp, making doors and windows harder to open.
• Chewing or Clicking Noises: Listen closely—soldier termites bang heads to signal danger, and worker termites are noisy eaters.
