Ceylon Pest Guard | Professional Pest Control Sri Lanka

Overview

Unlike their subterranean cousins, drywood termites do not require contact with the soil. They extract all the moisture they need from the wood they eat. They infest structural timbers, antique furniture, and roofing frames, hollowing them out from the inside.

Core Threats

Silent destruction of expensive furniture and antiques
Weakening of roof trusses and support beams
Hard to detect until significant damage is done

Signs of Infestation

Small piles of hard, seed-like pellets (frass) below wood
Swarms of winged termites (alates) inside the house
Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
Blistering or peeling paint on wooden surfaces

Our Treatment Process

Gallery Detection

We carefully inspect the wood to locate the exact galleries and kick-out holes where the termites are expelling their frass.

Drill and Inject

We drill precise, tiny holes into the infested wood and inject specialized termiticide foams or liquids directly into the termite galleries.

Surface Protection

We may apply borate-based surface treatments to unpainted wood to penetrate the timber and protect against future drywood swarmers.

Why Choose Our Treatment?

Stops immediate destruction of valuables

Targeted treatment without mass chemical exposure

Preserves the structural integrity of timber

Frequently Asked Questions

We use the smallest drill bits possible for injection and take great care to conceal the holes afterward with wood filler.

For localized drywood infestations, our drill-and-inject method is highly effective and eliminates the need for expensive and disruptive structural fumigation (tenting).
