Drywoods Treatment
Dry wood treatment is a method used to eliminate dry wood termites that infest wooden structures and furniture. Unlike subterranean termites, dry wood termites do not require contact with soil to survive and can live inside wood. Treatments are designed to penetrate the wood and kill termites living inside the material without causing damage to the structure.

Why is Dry Wood Treatment Important?
Dry wood termites can cause significant damage to woodwork in homes, including walls, floors, and furniture. These termites are hard to detect and often go unnoticed until the damage is severe. Dry wood treatment ensures the elimination of termites and the protection of valuable wooden assets.
Dry Wood Treatment in Pest Control
Dry wood treatment is essential for preserving wooden structures and furniture from termite damage. While dry wood termites can be difficult to detect, professional pest control services can effectively treat and protect your home or office from these pests.
Types of Dry Wood Treatments
- Fumigation
- Heat Treatment
- Spot Treatments
The entire building or infested area is sealed and filled with gas that penetrates the wood, killing the termites inside.
High temperatures are applied to infested areas, eliminating termites without using chemicals.
Chemicals or natural solutions are injected directly into the infested wood, targeting localized termite colonies.
How is Dry Wood Treatment Applied?
- Fumigation
- Heat Treatment
- Spot Treatments
A tent is placed over the entire building, and a lethal gas is pumped inside to penetrate the wood and eliminate the termites.
Injections of liquid termiticides or foams are applied to specific areas of infestation, killing termites in localized spots.
Heaters are used to raise the temperature of the wood to lethal levels, effectively eliminating termites without chemicals.
