How Termites Impact Your Property

Termites cause billions of dollars in damage every year across the U.S., and Ohio is no exception. These pests feed on cellulose found in wood, drywall, and even paper, making nearly every corner of your property a potential target. Left unchecked, an infestation can lead to structural instability, especially in critical areas like support beams, flooring, and walls.

Beyond the physical damage, termites bring headaches and worry. Many homeowners discover infestations long after significant destruction has occurred, making it vital to act as soon as you notice signs of activity.

Types of Termites in Columbus

Ohio is home to several types of termites, each with unique habits and characteristics. Knowing what kind of termite you’re dealing with is critical for effective treatment and prevention.

In Columbus and the surrounding areas, homeowners are most likely to encounter:

Subterranean termites - Subterranean termites are the most common and destructive type of termite found in Columbus. These termites live in soil and build extensive underground tunnels to access wood and other cellulose-rich materials. They create mud tubes to protect themselves as they travel between their colonies and food sources. Subterranean termites are especially dangerous because their activity is often hidden until significant damage has occurred.
Drywood termites - Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites do not rely on soil contact to survive. They infest dry wood, including furniture, structural timber, and hardwood floors. These termites can go unnoticed for long periods, as they burrow directly into the wood they are consuming. Their droppings, known as frass, are often the first visible sign of their presence.
Dampwood Termites - Dampwood termites thrive in wood with high moisture content, such as water-damaged or decaying timber. They are less common in homes but can still cause significant damage in areas with persistent leaks or high humidity. Dampwood termites are larger than other species and are often found in basements, crawl spaces, or areas prone to water buildup.

How TORCO™ Treats Termite Infestations

At TORCO™, we’ve been trusted for decades to handle termite infestations the right way. With our expertise, cutting-edge technology, and customized treatments, we address termites at the source to protect your property.

Our proven termite control strategies include the following:

Liquid termiticide treatments - One of the most effective ways to protect your property from termites is through liquid termiticide treatments. This method creates a barrier around your home or business, stopping termites from entering and eliminating those already inside. Our technicians are highly trained in applying termiticides precisely and safely for maximum protection without disrupting your daily life.
Termite bait stations - For long-term control, we also utilize termite bait stations. These strategically placed stations attract termites with a specially formulated bait they carry back to their colony. Once shared within the colony, the bait works to eliminate the entire population, including the queen. This method is not only highly effective but also environmentally friendly.
Thorough inspections and prevention - Our termite control process begins and ends with thorough inspections. We identify risk factors like moisture buildup, wood-to-soil contact, or structural vulnerabilities, making sure we address the root cause of the infestation—not just the symptoms. Our team also provides prevention advice to minimize the chance of reinfestation, giving you peace of mind long after we’re gone.

Termites can cause serious damage, but with the right treatment plan from TORCO™ , your home can be protected. Our experienced technicians understand termite behavior and use the most effective strategies to eliminate infestations. Whether you need an inspection, treatment, or ongoing prevention, we’re here to help.

Signs You Might Have Termites

When it comes to termites, early detection is everything. As mentioned, termites infest homes quietly and can be left undisturbed and undiscovered for years. Knowing the signs of an infestation can help you take action before it’s too late.

Be on the lookout for these common indicators:

Mud tubes along foundations or walls—these provide moisture and protection for subterranean termites.
Discarded wings near windows and doors—this indicates a termite swarm has recently occurred.
Soft or hollow-sounding wood—termites eat wood from the inside out, weakening structures.
Bubbling or uneven paint—can be a sign of moisture buildup caused by termites tunneling beneath the surface.
Frass (termite droppings)—tiny, pellet-like droppings that may indicate drywood termite activity.

The sooner you spot the problem, the faster we can help you address it. If you aren’t sure, our team can conduct a thorough inspection and determine the best course of action.
