Found swarmers or damaged wood in your Seattle home? Dampwood termites are a serious threat to our homes here in the Pacific Northwest. If you’re seeing signs of an infestation, you need a clear path to protect your most valuable investment.
At AMPM Exterminators, we’ve helped hundreds of Seattle homeowners eliminate Dampwood termite infestations for good. This guide will give you the straight facts about treatment options and help you make the right decision for your home.
Is This a Dampwood Termite? Key Identification Signs
Before treating, you need to be sure what you’re dealing with. Look for these clear signs:
You Likely Have Dampwood Termites If You See:
- Large Swarmers: Winged insects about 1-inch long emerging from wood
- Piles of Wings: Discarded wings on windowsills or in spider webs
- Six Sided Pellets: Sand like droppings near damaged wood
- Hollow-Sounding Wood: Timber that sounds empty when tapped
Not sure what you’re dealing with? Other common Seattle pests include carpenter ants and moisture ants. Proper identification is crucial for effective treatment.
The AMPM 3 Step Solution for Dampwood Termites
We’ve perfected a targeted approach that actually works for Seattle homes:
Step 1: Complete Home Termite Inspection
Our certified technicians conduct a thorough 30 point inspection:
- Locate all active termite colonies
- Identify damaged wood and entry points
- Assess the extent of structural damage
- Provide a clear, honest assessment
Step 2: Direct Wood Treatment & Colony Elimination
Unlike other companies that push for expensive tenting, we use targeted methods:
Our Primary Treatment: Localized Elimination
- Direct Application: We apply termiticide directly to infested wood
- Colony Destruction: Treatment targets the entire nest, not just surface insects
- Structural Protection: We create a protective barrier in affected areas
- Minimal Disruption: No need to vacate your home during treatment
Step 3: Prevention & Guaranteed Protection
- Follow up inspections to ensure complete elimination
- Preventative barriers around your home’s foundation
- Clear warranty that protects your investment
“Will I Need to Tent My House?”
For most Dampwood termite infestations, the answer is NO.
Whole house tenting is rarely necessary for Dampwood termites. Our localized treatment approach is:
- More targeted to the actual infestation
- Less expensive than full tenting
- Less disruptive to your family
- Equally effective when properly applied
