TERMITE INSPECTION & TREATMENT
Our Termite Inspection & Treatment Service
Termite treatments are done by a thorough inspection of the home and crawlspace. Please note, that Washington state termites are 100% moisture-related and our services will eliminate activity but will require a contractor to repair moisture to prevent re-infestation.
Our Approach To Termite Inspection & Treatment Services
Getting rid of termites is no easy task. They often have large, elaborate nests spread in and around your home. Missing one could result in an infestation down the road. Learn how Sasquatch Pest Control eliminates existing termite colonies and protects your property from future damages below:
1. TERMITE INSPECTION
First, a thorough termite inspection is completed of the home and crawlspace.
2. TERMITE TREATMENT
Next, a liquid or aerosol application will be completed to control termite activity. Our service will kill off the active termite activity but since termites are related to moisture, we will instruct you to contact a contractor to handle the needed repair to help prevent termite reinfestation in the future.

About Termites & Wood-Destroying Pests in the Bellingham Area
Termites are far less common in the cool Pacific Northwest than in warmer regions, but they are still a real threat — and in our wet climate, moisture-driven wood damage is an even bigger concern. The main termite here is the Pacific dampwood termite, which infests wood with high moisture content, along with the western subterranean termite in some areas. Just as damaging are the carpenter ants and wood-decay fungus that thrive in our damp conditions.
Because our wood-destroying pests are moisture-driven, an infestation almost always signals a moisture problem — a leak, poor drainage, or wood-to-soil contact. Left unaddressed, termites, wood-decay, and rot can quietly compromise structural framing, subfloors, and crawlspaces over time.
The good news is that these problems are highly treatable, and catching them early — with a professional inspection — costs a fraction of major structural repair. Sasquatch Pest Control‘s inspection is always free.
Signs of a Termite Problem
Wood-destroying pests stay hidden, so watch for these warning signs:
Discarded wings near windowsills or light sources after a swarm.
Wood that sounds hollow or feels soft, spongy, or crumbly.
Small pellets of frass (dampwood/drywood droppings) near wood.
Damp, stained, or rotting wood, especially in crawlspaces and around leaks.
Mud tubes on foundation walls (subterranean termites).
Large carpenter ants or their sawdust piles, a related moisture-driven pest.
Why Termite Control Matters
Left untreated, termites, carpenter ants, and wood-decay fungus can weaken load-bearing beams, subfloors, and framing — and repairs frequently run into the thousands. Because this kind of damage is considered preventable maintenance, it is excluded from nearly every homeowner’s insurance policy.
In our climate, the root cause is almost always moisture, so effective treatment also means finding and correcting the underlying moisture problem. A free professional inspection tells you exactly where you stand.

How to Prevent Termites & Wood-Destroying Pests
Lower your risk of wood-destroying pests by controlling moisture:
Fix leaks, improve drainage, and keep water away from the foundation.
Maintain an 18-inch gap between soil and any wood, and remove wood-to-soil contact.
Ventilate and dry out crawlspaces; repair damaged vapor barriers.
Replace water-damaged or rotting wood promptly.
Keep firewood and lumber away from the house and off the ground.
Schedule a professional inspection, especially before buying or selling a home.
Frequently Asked Questions About Termites & Wood-Destroying Pests
Do we have termites in the Bellingham area?
Yes, though they are less common than in warmer regions. The Pacific dampwood termite is the main species here, along with some subterranean termites, and both are tied to moisture and damp wood.
What is the difference between termites and carpenter ants?
Termites eat wood; carpenter ants excavate galleries in moist wood to nest but do not eat it. Both are moisture-driven in our region, and both can damage a home. A professional can identify which you have.
Does homeowner’s insurance cover termite or wood-rot damage?
Almost never. This damage is considered preventable maintenance, so it is excluded from nearly every standard policy — which is why proactive inspection matters.
Why is moisture so important here?
Our wet climate means most wood-destroying pests are drawn to damp wood. Correcting the moisture source is essential to a lasting fix, not just treating the pest.
How often should I have my home inspected?
An inspection every year or two is wise in our damp climate, and especially before buying or selling. Sasquatch Pest Control‘s inspection is free.
How much does treatment cost?
It depends on the pest, the extent, and any moisture correction needed. Sasquatch Pest Control provides a free inspection and honest, up-front pricing.
