If you live in Alexandria, Arlington, Centreville, or anywhere within 50 miles of Northern Virginia, termites are not just a springtime problem—they’re a year-round threat to your home’s safety and value.

At Senate Termite & Pest Control, we’ve been protecting Virginia homes from termite infestations since 1991. We know this region, the common termite hotspots, and how to stop an infestation before it causes thousands in structural damage.

📍 Why Termites Are Common in Northern Virginia

Our region’s humid summers and mild winters make Northern Virginia an ideal environment for Eastern Subterranean Termites—the most destructive termite species in the U.S.

They silently chew through:

  • Floor joists
  • Wall studs
  • Support beams
  • Decks and porches

Often, by the time you notice signs, damage has already been done.

🚨 5 Signs You May Have Termites in Your Virginia Home

  1. Mud tubes along foundation walls or crawlspaces
  2. Swarming termites (especially near windows or doors)
  3. Discarded wings on windowsills
  4. Hollow-sounding wood
  5. Peeling paint or bulging drywall that mimics water damage

If you're seeing any of these in Old Town Alexandria, Clarendon, Ballston, or Centreville, now is the time to act.

💡 Pro Tip for NoVA Homeowners:

Most insurance policies do not cover termite damage — that’s why early detection and preventative treatment are the smart (and cost-saving) move. Especially in older homes in Alexandria and Arlington, where wood-to-soil contact is common.
