Subterranean Termite Control
No matter how your home is constructed, where it’s located, or how old it is, it could be attacked by subterranean termites. They are a threat across 70 percent of the world and in every part of the United States except Alaska. They cause $5 billion worth of damage each year in the U.S. alone, damage not covered by homeowner’s insurance. And termite damage can go undetected for years. It’s their ability to so masterfully avoid detection that makes termites so insidiously destructive.

Termidor® Treatment
In conjunction with other aspects of our Subterranean Termite Control service, Drake incorporates TERMIDOR® treatments. This product has proven to be a successful component in providing our customers with a termite-free environment.
Create a Termidor® Zone
Termidor® binds tightly to the soil to create the “Termidor Zone.” Since this protective termite treatment zone is undetectable to termites, termites can’t avoid it, and will not try to find a way around it (as they can with repellent termite treatments).
Termidor® Transfer Effect
When subterranean termites contact Termidor®, they unknowingly spread it to the entire colony — eliminating it from the inside out within days. No strong odors. No harsh chemicals. Just proven science.
More About Subterranean Termites
We Cover All Types of Termites
Subterranean Termites include various species that can threaten homes. You can rest easy knowing that our professional termite control service will protect your home from all of them.
- Eastern Subterranean Termite: This more common variety is less aggressive but still capable of causing damage.
- Formosan Termite: An invasive species known for its rapid reproduction and aggressive behavior, Formosan Termite colonies can reach millions.
- Asian Termite: Also non-native and very destructive, Asian Termites invade homes quickly in large numbers, causing significant damage.
Both Formosan and Asian termites, when undetected, can cause substantial damage, making vigilance essential for homeowners.
Signs of Activity and Damage
Subterranean termites dwell underground and have an amazing ability to gain access into your home undetected, sometimes for years. In their search for food (wood/cellulose) and moisture, Subterranean termites will squeeze through cracks as narrow as 1/32 of an inch to enter your home! Expansion joints, foundation cracks, tiny gaps around plumbing, and service entries are all potential entry points. Once they’re in, undetected termites can mean untold damage.
Look for these signs to help identify whether or not you may have a termite infestation.
