Termite Control

Professional Termite Control For Your Home

Termites (specifically Subterranean Termites) can wreak havoc on your home, causing millions of dollars in damages each year. Depending upon the extent of the termite damage, these little pests can make the structure of your home a hazard to live in, putting the safety of both you and your family at risk.

In order to rid your home of these pests, you need a team of professionals to ensure your termite problem is properly managed.

How Orkin Canada Treats Your Termite Problem

Orkin Canada offers high quality termite control services, by effectively planning and treating the appropriate areas where termite colonies may be nested. You can rest assured your termite problem will be controlled effectively.

Altriset Liquid Termite Treatments

This termite treatment is a low toxic option for application around your property. Altriset liquid termite treatments halt termite feedings within hours, minimizing damage done to your home. Additionally, Altriset also eliminates termite colonies in less than three months and will protect your home for more than 5 years when used in accordance with the label, ensuring you have termite protection long term. Altriset liquid treatments use a non-repellent formulation that is commonly applied to regular termite food sources and makes it easy to spread throughout the termite colony, thereby ensuring you see the results sooner.

Foam Treatments

Foam treatments are used to treat gaps in interior and exterior walls, around heating ducts and water pipes, under slabs, and for other hard to reach areas where mud tubes may be present. These foam treatments are the perfect solution for providing an additional layer of protection against termite infestations. The low moisture content of our foam prevents any risk of soaking through drywall and creating damaging wet spots.

Termite Control Frequently Asked Questions for Your Home

1. How do I know if I have termites in my home?

Common signs include mud tubes on exterior walls or foundation, discarded wings near windowsills, soft or hollow-sounding wood, blistering paint, and visible damage to structural wood. Because termites often stay hidden, a professional inspection is the most reliable way to confirm an infestation.

2. What should I do if I suspect termites?

If you notice potential termite activity, avoid disturbing the area and contact a licensed pest control professional immediately. Disturbing termites can cause them to retreat temporarily, making it harder to diagnose the problem and increasing the risk of spreading.

3. What types of termites invade Canadian homes?

The most common species that impact Canadian homes are eastern subterranean termites. These termites live underground and enter homes through cracks in the foundation, plumbing entry points, or wood-to-soil contact areas.

4. Are termites dangerous to my home?

Yes. Termites consume wood and other cellulose-based materials, which can compromise structural integrity. Left untreated, termite damage can become extensive, costly, and in severe cases, make parts of your home unsafe.

5. How do professionals get rid of termites?

Termite treatment typically includes one or more of the following:

• Liquid termiticide barriers applied to soil around the foundation.

• Baiting systems that eliminate colonies over time.

• Direct wood treatments using foam or injection products for active infestations.
  Professionals choose the method based on the infestation level, home construction, and termite species.

6. Are termite treatments safe for my family and pets?

When applied by trained technicians following label guidelines, termite treatments are considered safe for households, including children and pets. Technicians may recommend temporary precautions, such as avoiding treated areas until dry.

7. How long do termite treatments last?

Liquid treatments can protect your home for several years, while baiting systems provide continuous termite monitoring and control. Regular inspections—often annually—are recommended to ensure ongoing protection.

8. Can termites return after treatment?

Yes, termites can return if conditions remain favourable or new colonies migrate into the area. That’s why professional termite protection plans often include ongoing monitoring, warranty coverage, or annual inspections.

9. How can I prevent termites from entering my home?

Helpful preventative steps include:

• Keep woodpiles and mulch away from the foundation.

• Fix moisture issues such as leaking pipes or poor drainage.

• Ensure proper ventilation in crawlspaces.

• Seal cracks and openings around the foundation.

• Avoid wood-to-soil contact with structural elements like decks or fences.

10. How often should I schedule a termite inspection?

Homeowners should schedule a professional termite inspection at least once a year, or more often if they live in a high-risk area or have had termite issues in the past.

11. What is the cost of termite treatment?

Costs vary depending on the size of your home, the level of infestation, and the treatment method used. A professional inspection is the best way to obtain an accurate estimate.
