Termite Treatment
Signs of termites
- Mud tubes running up walls or foundations
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Small piles of droppings like sawdust or grains
- Swarms of winged insects near lights, then dropped wings
- Doors and windows that start sticking
- Paint bubbling or cracking on wood
Treat first, then repair
Replacing damaged wood before the termites are treated just feeds them new wood. Treat first, then have badly damaged timber replaced.
How a termite treatment usually runs
Inspection: the exterminator checks wood, walls, the roof and the ground around the house.
They confirm the type: ground (subterranean) or drywood termites.
You get a written price for the treatment and what it covers.
Treatment: soil, wall or wood treatment depending on the type.
Follow-up visit to check the activity has stopped.

Where are the pests getting in?
Each pest has its favourite way into a Trinidad house. Tap a spot to see the signs and the usual treatment.
Termites
Ground termites build mud tubes up walls and foundations to reach wood. Drywood termites live inside door frames and roof timbers.
- Mud tubes, hollow wood or wing piles
- Damage often hidden for months
- Treated with soil, wall or wood treatment
Rats
Rats climb trees and wires to the roof, then squeeze through gaps at the roof edge into the ceiling.
- Scratching in the ceiling at night
- Droppings and chewed wires
- Treated with bait, traps and sealing gaps
Roaches
Roaches live where it's warm and greasy: behind the stove, under the sink and in drains.
- Seen at night, or in daytime if many
- Droppings like pepper in cupboards
- Treated with gel baits and a follow-up
Ants
Ants follow trails from nests in the yard, walls or under tiles to any food or water.
- Trails across counters and floors
- Nests near the foundation
- Treated with baits that reach the nest
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes breed in standing water: drums, tyres, pots, blocked gutters and drains.
- Bites at dawn and dusk
- Worse in the rainy season
- Treated by removing breeding spots and treating the yard

Questions
Termite Treatment: common questions
How much does termite treatment cost in Trinidad?
It depends on the size of the property, the type of termite and how far they've spread. The exterminator will price it after an inspection.
What's the difference between ground and drywood termites?
Ground termites live in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood. Drywood termites live inside the wood itself and leave small droppings. They're treated differently.
Can I stay in the house during treatment?
Usually yes for most treatments, with some rooms kept clear for a few hours. Ask the exterminator about re-entry times.
Is there a guarantee?
Many companies offer a warranty period on termite work. Ask what it covers before you agree.
