Subterranean termites may be small, but the cost of an infestation can be huge, especially for large structures. Expansive floor space may hold more than just merchandise – a 50,000-square-foot lot can support multiple colonies, each of which may contain up to a million termites. You need cost-efficient solutions that work quickly. That’s why Orkin offers a subterranean termite service tailored to the specific needs of large commercial structures. With some of the most advanced equipment and one of the best training programs in the industry, Orkin Termite Specialists are the most qualified to help protect your business. Financial Impact Subterranean termites cause more than a billion dollars in damage each year and can literally eat away at your profits by attacking your business’s structure, raw materials and inventory. A termite infestation can also disrupt operations, costing you customers and considerable lost revenue if your business is closed for treatment. Constant Risk Your business can provide the ideal combination of warmth, food and moisture for subterranean termites, which can enter through cracks as small as 1/32 of an inch (about the thickness of a business card). Major systems, such as plumbing, installed in most businesses today can often allow termites to live year round. Unseen Threat You can’t always see termites because they feed undetected. Subterranean termite workers can attack wood from the inside out, 24 hours a day. Infestations can go undiscovered until the wood is almost completely destroyed, at which point the cost to repair or replace the damage can be extensive. Targeted Treatment If subterranean termite activity is found, Orkin will target treatment to the affected area 20 feet in each direction and five feet on all intersecting walls. We will also perform a comprehensive inspection of your entire property for subterranean termites once a year.
