Gainesville, Virginia is a rapidly expanding community in Prince William County. Over the last twenty years the population has doubled and the growth of businesses and homes is great. It makes Gainesville an up and coming area to live. Located about 35 miles from Washington D.C., it has a planned commuter train stop that should be finished in 2022.

How to Determine if You Have Termites
Often a termite inspection can be difficult to spot until the colony of termites have already caused thousands of dollars in damages. If you wait until you locate a colony of termites under your home, your home may already need serious structural repairs. Some signs of an infestation include:
- Mud Tubes—These small pencil-like tubes can be spotted on your foundation, leading up to your home. If you break them open, you will likely find termites inside of them.
- Wood Damage—Wood damage will appear to long narrow grooves at and below the surface of your wood services.
- Discarded Wings—Termites will shed their wings after they swarm, since they no longer need them. Seeing piles of discarded wings is a sign of a new colony.
The best strategy to dealing with termites is to schedule regular inspections to be sure that you do not have any. EcoTek offers free inspections that can give you peace of mind for your home. If you do have termites, our technician will provide you with a free estimate that will address eliminating the termites and cleaning up the damage. Additionally, there will be a summary for estimated cost of reconstruction for the damaged areas.

Extremely Powerful Termite Treatments
EcoTek’s termite treatment is very effective at killing termites. It consists of Termidor SC, which is applied to the top of the foundation of your home. Termidor SC is the leading liquid insecticide treatment for five consecutive years. The treatment works as a barrier, when the termites pass through it, they pick it up and carry it back to the colony where it eliminates the queen and the rest of the colony. It will also work to prevent future infestations.

This allows our technicians to detect when termites are invading your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do termites and carpenter ants look different from each other?
Termites have two pairs of wings that are the same size. They have wide waists and their bodies are uniform in width. Carpenter ants look like ants with narrow segmented waists. They also have two sets of wings, but the wings are a different size.
Will the wild animals around my property be safe during a treatment?
We use one of the safest products, Termidor SC, and it is completely safe after it is dry. While we are applying the treatment, we will keep the animals away from your property.
How does having termites affect my ability to sell my home?
Termites are scary because you immediately worry about what it does to your home damage. Termites are very common, and once you treat your home, and make repairs you should be able to sell your home. The value should return to what it was before you had termites. You will need to keep copies of the treatment, repairs and continued monitoring.
When should I call if I see signs of termites?
If you suspect that you have termites you should call right away. Delaying a phone call will allow the termites to continue to eat at your home. Each day a termite colony will eat about a pound of wood. The more damage that is done, the more expensive the repairs will be.
Are the monitoring stations safe for the environment?
The chemical-free monitoring stations are completely safe for the environment and for the animals and wildlife in your yard. They have cores of wood, cardboard and cellulose that attract termites that are nearby and have no impact on anything else.
