Captains Cove, VA's Licensed Termite Treatment Specialists

Subterranean colonies need ground moisture and build visible mud tubes, while drywood colonies nest directly inside dry wood members.

Cost varies by foundation size and whether liquid barrier or bait stations are used; we quote in writing after seeing the property.

A wood-destroying organism report is commonly required for financing; we issue licensed reports formatted for that purpose.

Modern termiticide treatments are designed for long-term colony elimination, generally backed by a multi-year warranty.

Over-the-counter sprays typically only repel termites locally rather than eliminating the colony, which can make the infestation harder to treat professionally later.

A swarm event signals the colony has matured enough to reproduce, which is often the first visible sign homeowners notice. We recommend a yearly check-in after initial treatment, since soil grading and mulch buildup around a foundation can change year to year.
