Structural Pest Services
Inspection, early detection, and prevention are the keys to avoiding costly damage.
Prevention is always preferred but if you already have an infestation, BEACON Pest Control has affordable solutions to manage structural pests in the most diverse structures including log and foam insulated homes.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are the number one structural pest insect in Washington. With the ability to cause significant damage and a preference for infesting dry sound structures you want to detect this pest early.
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean Termites cause millions of dollars in damage each year. They occur in isolated pockets throughout Western Washington, and they are most common along the coast. Their underground colonies can span several acres and because they usually enter structures from underneath or through cracks in the foundation, they can do significant damage if not detected early.
Wood Boring Beetles
Beetle damage is slow and insidious but can reduce structural wood to a fine powder in just a couple of years. Often infestations occur in hidden areas like crawlspaces where detection is difficult so the value of regular inspection can't be overlooked.
Wood Decay
Decay fungus damages more homes than fires, tornados, and hurricanes combined, and it can adversely affect your health.
Frequent inspection and early detection can keep damage to a minimum. Paint, caulk, cleaning, and repairs are the keys to protecting your home from decay fungus.
