Termite Control: The Ultimate Guide to Detection, Treatment & Prevention by Tawheed Group
Termites are among the most destructive pests homeowners can face. Often called “silent destroyers,” these insects feed on wood, cellulose, and paper products—quietly and persistently. By the time visible damage becomes apparent, a colony may have been active for months or even years.
At Tawheed Group, we specialize in comprehensive termite control services designed to protect your property, eliminate infestations, and provide long-term peace of mind.
What Are Termites and Why Should You Be Concerned?
Termites are social insects that live in colonies and consume cellulose-rich materials like wood, paper, and cardboard. While there are over 2,000 species worldwide, three types are most relevant to property owners:
- Subterranean termites, which build nests underground and travel through mud tubes to find food, are the most damaging.
- Drywood termites infest dry wood structures, often inside furniture or wall voids.
- Dampwood termites thrive in moist, decaying wood and are typically found in humid environments.
At Tawheed Group, our experts are trained to identify and eliminate all types of termite species using industry-leading tools and methods.
The Economic and Structural Impact of Termite Infestation
Each year, termites cause billions of dollars in property damage globally. According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), U.S. homeowners spend over $5 billion annually on termite control and repairs.
Tawheed Group helps homeowners avoid these losses by offering early detection, expert treatment, and proactive prevention strategies that stop termites before they cause irreversible damage.
How to Detect a Termite Infestation Early
Early detection is key to minimizing damage. Here are the most common indicators of termite activity:
- Mud Tubes: Pencil-width tunnels along foundations, walls, or wooden structures.
- Hollow or Blistered Wood: Termites consume wood from the inside out, leaving a thin outer shell.
- Discarded Wings: Termite swarmers (reproductives) shed their wings after mating and forming new colonies.
- Frass: Drywood termites leave behind small, pellet-like droppings near infested areas.
- Tight-fitting doors or windows: Termite activity can distort frames, making them hard to open or close.
Tawheed Group’s inspection team is trained to identify subtle signs of infestation that most homeowners may overlook.
Common Causes of Termite Infestation
Termites are attracted to environments that offer moisture, warmth, and easy access to wood. Common risk factors include:
- Poor drainage or leaking plumbing
- Wood siding or supports in direct contact with soil
- Clogged gutters and roof leaks
- Accumulated wood debris or firewood near the foundation
- Cracks in foundations or expansion joints
Tawheed Group provides detailed site evaluations to uncover these hidden risks and offers custom solutions to mitigate them.
How Termites Enter Your Home
Termites can enter through:
- Cracks in concrete slabs or brickwork
- Gaps around utility lines and plumbing
- Foundation expansion joints
- Wooden decks or porches that touch soil
- Vent openings without mesh protection
The Tawheed Group termite control team uses advanced detection tools to trace termite entry points and block them effectively.

A thorough termite inspection is the foundation of effective pest control. A licensed technician from Tawheed Group will assess:
- Structural wood components for signs of tunneling

- Moisture levels in susceptible areas

Modern Termite Treatment Methods by Tawheed Group
Depending on the species and severity of the infestation, Tawheed Group professionals may recommend one or more of the following:
1. Liquid Termiticide Treatment
A long-lasting chemical barrier is applied around the home’s perimeter, killing termites and preventing future invasions.
2. Baiting Systems
Discreet bait stations lure termites, who carry poison back to the colony—eliminating the source over time.
3. Wood Treatments
We apply borate-based treatments directly to affected wood and structural framing to kill and repel termites.
4. Fumigation (Tent Treatment)
For severe drywood termite cases, Tawheed Group offers complete structure fumigation, ensuring full eradication.

Tawheed Group prioritizes safety. We use eco-friendly, low-toxicity products that are safe for children and pets after application. Our technicians follow all safety regulations and will guide you through any temporary precautions required.
