Thank you very much for your prompt service and for being such a wonderful company."
Residential Termite Control
Get Rid Of Termites In Your Home With American Pest
As wood-destroying insects, termites are responsible for billions of dollars in property damages every year in the USA. For homeowners in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, termite problems can cause mounting frustration and costly repairs if infestations remain undetected. At American Pest, we offer Residential Termite Control services for homes in Bethesda, Columbia and throughout Maryland as well as the DC area and Northern Virginia. We are Washington D.C. exterminators who have been entrusted to protect the White House from the threat of termites.
Residential Termite Protection
It is common for termite activity to remain undetected without the trained eye of a professional. In the early stages of an infestation, termites keep their wood-destroying activity hidden beneath flooring and behind walls, siding, and wood trim. They will destroy wooden structures leaving only the outer surface intact. Mud tunnels, holes in wood, and warped doors and floors are possible indications of termites in your home and should be tended to immediately to avoid severe termite damage. At American Pest, we resolve termite issues for homeowners in Potomac and McLean, as well as all of Maryland and Virginia.

Five Reasons American Pest Chooses Eco-Friendly Sentricon®
- Minimal application of active ingredient (literally grams) as compared to hundreds of gallons of liquid termiticides used in trenching and drilling treatments
- Active ingredient is chemically engineered to control termites only, and when professionally maintained will not cause harm to humans, pets or wildlife
- When professionally installed, no risk to applicator during initial treatment and continuous monitoring
- Thousands of successful termite colony eliminations since 1995
- EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award Winner
Liquid Treatment Option: Altriset®
Altriset® is another viable option to control termite activity in or near your home. Also known as a Liquid Barrier Treatment, Altriset® is applied approximately six to ten inches deep into the soil in a trench dug around the foundation of the home. Termites ingest the soil and the Altriset® which they then transfer back to the colony. Since termites are social insects that share food and grooming practices with the whole colony, Altriset® quickly spreads throughout, normally destroying it within three months. Let American Pest help you decide which option makes the most sense in your life.
