Termite Control in Pickering

Termites can find their way into your Pickering home through cracks no wider than a credit card. They’re hard to see, quick to spread, and their presence is on the rise, especially as warmer winters and wetter summers create the perfect conditions for colonies to thrive. However, they’re not difficult to eliminate. With Bugs R Us’s treatments, only 5% of the colony needs to spread the active ingredient back to the rest, finishing off the infestation completely.

Can You Eliminate Termites Quickly?

Of course, you want to get rid of termites as quickly as possible. Our solutions are designed to provide an effective response at a reasonable speed.

We use Altriset, which can eliminate a colony within just a few weeks. The termites spread the treatment themselves, passing it far deeper into the network than many other solutions possibly could. We confirm that activity is gone using bait stations, and if any trespassers show up later, they’re lured straight into the bait. The timeline can sometimes vary, but it’s still the most complete and low-disruption approach available.

• You get clean, efficient work without unnecessary disruption.

When Is Termite Activity at Its Peak?

Termite activity peaks in the spring and early summer, when the ground warms and moisture levels rise. This is when swarmers emerge to start new colonies, and existing nests become more active. These conditions give termites what they need to feed, tunnel, and expand.

That said, activity isn’t limited to just those months. Once a colony is established indoors or near a heated structure, it can continue feeding year-round. Insulated basements, leaking pipes, and damp crawlspaces can support termites even through the coldest parts of the year. So while spring may bring the highest risk, no season is completely safe from an infestation.

Types of Termites in Pickering

The primary type of termite found in Pickering homes is the subterranean termite. These are soil-dwelling and tend to enter structures from below, feeding on wood from the inside out. Other species, while less common, can still show up, each with its own feeding patterns and nesting habits. Some go after damp wood, others dry framing.

It doesn’t matter which type you’re dealing with, though. Our solutions are designed to target them all because they’re built on fundamental behaviour.

Protect Your Property From Termite Damage

Termite damage can come in many forms and can get extensive fast. Eventually, you’ll be dealing with hollowed-out framing, loose flooring, and walls that no longer hold straight. Bugs R Us can get the process started and grind the damage to a halt before the repairs start stacking up. When treatment kicks in, the colony loses its ability to feed, move, or grow.
