Living in Hawaii may be a bit like living in paradise, but Hawaii is not without its common pest problems. One of those problems is the high population of termites. Drywood termites thrive in Honolulu, and if they get into your home or business, they will cause serious damage if not eliminated quickly. Unlike other termite species that prefer to infest rotted or water-damaged wood, drywood termites prefer dry, sound wood.
If your home or business has no protection against drywood termites, or if you suspect you have an active infestation, it is vital to contact Pest Tech Hawaii as soon as possible. The sooner a drywood termite infestation is identified and eliminated, the less damage it will cause in your home or business and the less money you will have to spend on repairs.
