Understanding The Wood Destroying Insects And Organisms In Hampton

At Statewide Alliance, we believe the best forms of pest control are backed by great science, careful research, and robust customer education. We strive to keep you in the know during every step of our process so you can make informed decisions about treatment and prevention. All you need to do is book an initial service; our team will visit your property as soon as possible.

Statewide Alliance can treat five different types of wood destroying insects and organisms: termites, fungi, carpenter bees, carpenter ants, and powder post beetles. By following an airtight process with demonstrated results, we can restore your property to its former glory and reduce your risks for structural damage.

We offer:

1. An initial inspection to identify the pests in question. If you want to get a head start or take a cursory look, feel free to use some of our resources below.
2. A treatment process with hand-picked products. Please keep in mind we tailor this step to the pest or organism inside your building.
3. A follow-up service to answer any questions or provide more information about the next steps.

All wood destroying insect services from Statewide Alliance are separated into separate treatment categories. Here's what you need to know:

• Subterranean termites: Subterranean termites are uniquely destructive pests. You can find subterranean termites near places with soil-to-wood contact. Most termites are never seen in the open, but you may be able to spot them near mud tubes on the wall. You can trust the team at Statewide Alliance to treat termites in Hampton. Please note our treatment structure depends on your building type, as we decide on spot or whole house treatments depending on your situation. 
• Wood decaying fungi: Hampton is home to many types of wood decaying fungi, including soft rot fungi, white rot fungi, and brown rot fungi. Apart from consuming the bones of your wooden structure, fungi can also create air quality issues and reduce the value of your home. All wood decaying fungi treatments from Statewide Alliance come with a one-year warranty for your protection. If you think or know that fungus may be regrowing around your home or business, don't hesitate to let us know. 
• Carpenter bees: Carpenter bees are worrisome pests that bore holes into sidings around homes and rooflines. However, it's important not to get these pests confused with honeybees, which are smaller, furrier, and critically important to our ecosystem. You can usually identify carpenter bees by their large sizes and loud buzzing sounds, as well as their shiny black abdomens and long wings. Statewide Alliance would be happy to advise you directly about how to proceed with treatment. Our carpenter bee treatment process largely depends on where the pests are active around your property. Please keep in mind we try our best to protect local pollinators as much as possible.
• Carpenter ants: Carpenter ants in Hampton are large, black insects that nest inside wooden structures. While other ants are generally smaller and typically nest in the ground, carpenter ants grow to be half an inch long and appear in patterns of black, red, or a combination of both colors. Carpenter ant treatments from Statewide Alliance follow a proven three-step process to ensure great results. Please contact our team to learn more about what we offer. 
• Powderpost beetles: Powderpost beetles are oblong insects known for drilling holes in wood, usually leaving powdery 'frass' in their wake. While other beetles in your yard could measure 5/8 an inch or more, powderpost beetles are just 1/4 an inch long in adulthood. Keep an eye out for beetles with clubbed antennae, long striped abdomens, and brown or black exoskeletons. Our treatment process for powderpost beetles depends on your unique needs and environment.
