Termite identification
Discover what termites look like and the signs to look for.
Running a business is stressful enough without worrying about what’s happening beneath the floorboards. Termites are a silent threat that can lead to structural damage, compliance exposure, and unbudgeted expenses if left unchecked. At Rentokil, we believe the best commercial termite control is the kind you don’t have to think about. Our commercial termite treatments are designed to protect your property in the background. We work around your busy schedule so that your operations stay on track and your building remains protected.
No two businesses are identical, and neither are their termite risks. The right commercial termite treatment depends on four variables: your building's construction type, the termite species present in your area, your industry's regulatory requirements, and the scope of current termite activity. Since every pest control industry has a different footprint, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
The process always begins with a comprehensive professional inspection. Our experts bridge the gap between identifying a threat and using the most efficient commercial termite strategy for your specific property. After a thorough inspection, your Rentokil technician will recommend a plan tailored to your operational needs, choosing from a variety of termite solutions, including:
We place low-profile stations around your perimeter to intercept foraging termites. They carry the bait back to the colony, neutralizing the population. Well-suited for properties where trenching or heavy drilling would disrupt operations.
These discreet, secure stations are placed directly on active subterranean termite trails inside the building. They are used in conjunction with in-ground baiting systems when interior activity requires additional, targeted intervention. They work quickly without requiring heavy drilling or trenching.
This involves applying a specialized liquid treatment to the soil around and under your building's foundation. Termites unknowingly pass through the treated zone, transferring the product to the rest of the colony and stopping the spread. This is the most widely used approach for subterranean termite activity in commercial structures.
For drywood termites, our experts apply residual products to specific high-risk points of activity, such as wood framing, door frames, expansion joints, or utility penetrations. This is minimally disruptive to business operations and best for targeting small, isolated areas of activity.
Reserved for severe drywood termite infestations deep within a structure's wood components. The building is secured and tented to ensure complete penetration of the treatment, reaching hidden pockets inaccessible to localized methods. It is the most comprehensive treatment option for heavily infested properties with extensive structural involvement.
At Rentokil, we prioritize the safety of your staff and customers. Our termite treatments use products approved and registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and our experts apply them according to label requirements. This ensures your commercial pest control strategy is as responsible as it is effective.
The proper termite treatment for your business is determined during our comprehensive on-site inspection. A Rentokil technician will evaluate your building’s construction, its history, and your specific industry regulations. The species present and current activity level then determine which treatment provides the most appropriate defense for your specific facility.
No. Commercial structures require specialized equipment and high-grade products to be effective. DIY methods cannot reach colonies established deep within large foundations or behind structural elements. Professional commercial termite services provide the tools and expertise needed to address a termite infestation effectively.
Yes. Termite damage is rarely covered by commercial property insurance, which means repair costs come directly out of operating budgets. Structural damage from an untreated infestation is often extensive by the time it's visible. Think of commercial termite prevention as a standard business essential. Professional termite prevention and treatments help ensure your property stays protected from termites without the shock of unbudgeted repair bills.
