Drywood Termite Control in New Iberia
Xeno Exclusion — Drywood Termite Control services in New Iberia
Drywood termites don't need soil contact and they don't come up through a slab. They fly in as winged swarmers, chew into dry structural wood or furniture, and set up a colony that can sit undetected for years. We find where they're living in the wood and deal with that colony directly.
Which ones you get here
- Colony in a single timber: A windowsill, door jamb, or one attic rafter — we drill and treat that piece directly, no need to open up the whole wall.
- Infested furniture: Often brought in from somewhere else and never touched the house frame; sometimes easier to treat or remove than to chase through walls.
- Scattered colonies through attic framing: Several separate galleries instead of one means spot treatment stops making sense and whole-structure fumigation gets discussed instead.
- Old, inactive galleries: Frass with no fresh pellets and no live termites when we open it up — the job becomes confirming it's dead, not treating it again.
What drywood termite control involves
- Find the kick-out holes: We trace the pinhead holes and pellet piles back to the piece of wood they're coming out of.
- Sound and probe the wood: Tapping and probing tells us how far the colony has eaten in and whether the timber is still sound enough to save.
- Treat the gallery: We drill into the infested wood and inject it directly, or recommend fumigation if the colonies are spread across too many timbers to spot-treat.
- Plug and recheck: Drill holes get sealed, and we come back to look for fresh frass before calling the colony dead.
When you need it
- Small pellet-like frass, the texture of fine sawdust, piling up on a windowsill or in the attic.
- Pinhead-sized holes in trim, window frames, or attic rafters that weren't there before.
- A scatter of shed wings near a window or light fixture after a warm evening.
- Wood that sounds hollow or papery when you knock on it, with the surface layer still intact.
What changes the job
Because the colony doesn't need soil contact, it doesn't matter if the house is raised on piers or sitting on a slab — the wood that matters is in the attic, the trim, or the furniture, not the foundation. What changes the size of the job is how many separate galleries turn up once we open a piece up, and whether the infested wood is a drawer front we can pull out or a load-bearing rafter we have to work around.
