Home Termite Inspections & Reports in Virginia Beach
Termites are a common problem in the United States. They can cause extensive damage to your home and business if not treated quickly. It’s important that you control termites in a timely manner before they cause extensive structural and financial damage.
Universal Pest & Termite specializes in termite inspections, reports, and other related services. Our inspectors are trained to find evidence of active or in-active termite infestations. With over 20 years of servicing Virginia Beach and surrounding cities, we offer a detailed inspection and report.
Why Have a Termite Inspection?
Termites have been around for thousands of years. They serve an important purpose by returning dead wood and debris back into the soil. Termites are also extremely beneficial in that they help to convert plant cellulose into substances that can be recycled into the ecosystem to support new growth.
While termites may be beneficial in many ways they can cross over into the human world and cause thousands of dollars in damage. Termites cannot tell the difference between a dead tree and a very nice house overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.
Protection begins with a simple inspection. Most termite damage claims could have been avoided by having a termite inspection by a seasoned expert. Our inspectors have many years of experience in detecting termite activity.
Some of the termite signs we look for are:

Termite Pictures | Termite Identification
Termites can cause major structural damage to homes and other buildings as well as wooden furniture. People usually only see termites inside when an infestation is already well established, though you may also find termites outside around dead tree stumps, rotting boards, or other detritus. Termite colonies are divided into different classes, and most termites only come out in the dark. The most common class that you will see outside of the colony is the alate class or winged termites. Winged termites are a reproductive class and they swarm before they mate. You can identify termites through their body shape, legs, and wings. We are showing here you different termite pictures, termite damage, and how to identify termites in your home and surroundings.

Termite Damage | Termite Mud Tubes
Subterranean termites begin their feeding process (damage) from the ground up and typically enter a building through the sub-structure. Homes with crawl spaces are at great risk. It is here you should look for evidence of damaged wood and mud tubes. Wood damaged by this particular species develops “galleries” (hollow tunnels), which run along the grain of the wood.
The presence of mud-like material lines the galleries in an irregular pattern.
Termites may excavate the wood so that only a very thin layer of wood is left on the surface of the cavity and the outside. Then this layer is broken; they will cover the holes with mud-like material, used to make the tubes. This is a mixture of soil, feces, and saliva.

Mud Tunnels: Subterranean termites maintain their headquarters in the ground and build “mud tubes”, pencil-size, that connect the nest (moisture) to the food source (wood Mud tubes or shelter tubes are proof of termite infestation, but their absence does not necessarily mean that a structure is free of termites. The insects may reach sills and other wood members through cracks or voids in the foundation wall, under the outside stucco, or from earth-filled porches, steps, terraces, or patios. You can break open tubes to determine if termites are still active inside. Termites often rebuild damaged tubes, another indication of continued activity. Old tubes are dry and will crumble easily.
