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.
Termites in the house, or a doubt before a sale? Our technician confirms or rules out the presence of termites, and guides you through the obligations in classified areas.
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
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.
