What Are Termites?

The termites we find in Oklahoma are subterranean termites. They live in the ground, and forage from the inside out of any wood they find in their ecosystem. Unfortunately, the wooden studs holding up your home are wood in their ecosystem. While termites are essential for the decomposition of fallen trees in the woods, they cannot discern the framing of your home from those fallen trees. And because they harvest timber from the inside out, termites have often been present for years before they are discovered in your home.

How to identify Termites?

Termites are often present for some time before discovered. If you believe you may have termites, there are a few things you should look for.

  • The first sign most people notice is swarmers, which look like winged ants often found near plumbing areas, windowsills, and porches.

  • Discarded wings. Once termite swarmers land and find a place to establish a new colony, they break off their wings to run in tandem with their new partner to a new spot to start a termite family.

  • Mud tubes (also known as shelter tubes) that termites use to retain moisture as they travel above the ground

  • Hollow wood or waves in floors or drywall

How Did I Get Termites?

Oklahoma is in a 100% infestation zone, meaning there are only two types of timber framed structures in Oklahoma; those with termites and those that are going to get termites. It is recommended to maintain continual termite protection on your home as your home insurance company does not cover termite damage as maintaining protection is the responsibility of the home owner, with the exception of an infinitesimally small number of policies. We guarantee our liquid termite injections for five years and they are rated to last up to ten years.

Your To-Do List Before Treatment

In preparation for the treatment, please have the exterior perimeter of your home clear so we can get to the side of the house easily. We’ll need about 3′ around the entire perimeter. This includes wood, grills, furniture, trash, etc.

BugBros is committed to being the best. We only use the best of the best products, which is why we perform liquid injections with Termidor HE. The Termidor HE vs Termidor SC video may be shorter than your average TikTok, but it clearly demonstrates the basic principles of why Termidor HE termite treatments are vastly superior to a Termidor SC treatments which stood as the gold standard of termite treatment until 2011 when Termidor HE became the new gold standard.
