All Hawaii homeowners should have some kind of termite program in place. There are two types of termites...drywood and ground termites. Ground (subterranean) are the most destructive. Drywood termites are eliminated by tenting the home while Sentricon and other poisons pumped into the ground are used to rid the property of ground termites. Termites are a huge problem in Hawaii so take steps to make sure they don't get into your home. They can cause major damage in as little as 30 days. Contact a pest control specialist in your area...but shop around because we have found the cost for treatments can vary greatly between companies.
