Termite treatment: detect the problem and protect your home

How do you know if you have termites in your house?

Termites are the most discreet of all wood-boring insects: they eat wood from the inside without leaving any sawdust. The signs to look for:

  • Wood that sounds hollow or flakes into layers: the surface stays intact while the inside is eaten away
  • Mud tubes (earth-covered tunnels) along walls, skirting boards or foundations
  • Swarming of winged insects in spring, often near windows
  • Woodwork that warps or gives way under light pressure

Only a professional examination can confirm a termite infestation: that is exactly what our free quote is based on.

Are termites dangerous? The special case of Gironde

Gironde is one of the most affected departments in France: many towns, including Bordeaux and the Arcachon Bay, are classified by prefectoral decree, and a termite report is mandatory there to sell a property. A colony can number several million individuals and weaken roof frames, floors and woodwork to the point of threatening the stability of the building. The damage progresses in silence: by the time it becomes visible, the infestation is already well established.

Grégory Quivy, owner of LSR Habitat
The damage keeps spreading, even in silence « Until it is treated, the larvae keep tunnelling through your timber. One call and I will tell you what to do, right away. »« Until it is treated, the larvae keep tunnelling through your timber.

Our termite treatment, step by step

  • 1. Technical visit: inspection of the timber, masonry and surroundings, search for mud tubes
  • 2. Choice of method: chemical treatment injected into the timber and masonry, protective barrier around the building, or bait stations depending on the situation
  • 3. Certified application by our technician, no subcontracting
  • 4. Guarantee and follow-up: checks over time to prevent any re-infestation

Pressure injection carries the treatment right to the heart of the timber, where the colony travels.

How much does a termite treatment cost?

A complete termite treatment (injection, barrier or bait stations) starts from €1,500 depending on the surface area of the building, the chosen method and the extent of the infestation. That is nothing compared with the cost of replacing a roof frame or floors. The quote is free, detailed, transparent and without obligation.
