Drywood Termite Treatment for Fountainbleau Homes
Eliminating Termites That Live Within Your Wood
Drywood termites differ from their subterranean cousins in one critical way: they live entirely within wood, requiring no soil contact. This means they can establish colonies anywhere wood exists in your Fountainbleau home, from attic framing to window frames to furniture. Treatment must target these in-wood colonies directly.
The 1960s and 1970s era homes common throughout Fountainbleau often have extensive wooden elements that drywood termites find attractive. Original roof trusses, window assemblies, door frames, and fascia boards have been under termite pressure for decades. Many homes have developed colonies that expand slowly but steadily over years.
Our primary drywood termite treatment uses a tentless approach. We locate colonies through careful inspection, create access points, and inject treatment products that spread through termite galleries to eliminate every colony member. You stay home throughout the process without the disruption of traditional fumigation.
For severe infestations affecting large portions of a structure, tent fumigation may be necessary. We honestly recommend fumigation only when tentless methods cannot achieve complete control. Either way, our 1-year warranty backs every treatment.

Understanding Drywood Termites
What makes them different
Life Within Wood
Drywood termites create colonies entirely within wood. They do not need soil contact or the moisture that subterranean species require. Colonies start small, sometimes just a few dozen individuals, and grow slowly over years to thousands of termites.
Signs of Drywood Infestation
The most common sign is frass, small wood-colored pellets that drywood termites push out of their galleries. These accumulate below kick-out holes and are often found on windowsills, beneath door frames, or in attic insulation.
Common Infestation Sites
In Fountainbleau homes, drywood termites commonly establish in roof framing and trusses, window frames especially original wood frames, door assemblies, fascia boards and exterior trim, and wooden furniture. Attic inspections often reveal significant activity homeowners were unaware of.
Treatment Approach
Because drywood colonies exist within wood, treatment must reach inside the wood structure. Our tentless approach injects products directly into colony areas. Fumigation works by flooding the entire structure with gas that penetrates all wood.

About Fountainbleau
Drywood termite conditions in this community
Fountainbleau's older homes provide abundant habitat for drywood termites. The original wood framing, window assemblies, and trim from 1960s and 1970s construction have been subject to termite pressure for over 50 years. Many properties have developed colonies that current owners inherited from previous decades.
The CBS construction common to the era provides good protection against subterranean termites, but does nothing to prevent drywood infestations in wooden elements above the foundation. Roof trusses, attic spaces, and exterior wood remain vulnerable.
Renovation projects in Fountainbleau homes frequently uncover drywood termite damage that had gone unnoticed. Regular inspection helps catch these infestations early when tentless treatment can provide effective control without fumigation.
