Termite Control in Kailua
Serving Windward Oahu Since 2000, with the Tools to Prove It
Kailua’s windward position on Oahu brings consistent trade winds and higher annual rainfall than most of the island. That sustained humidity accelerates termite activity, and both subterranean termites (which travel through soil to reach wood) and drywood termites (which infest wood directly without ground contact) are active here year-round. Structural damage often goes undetected for years. By the time it’s visible, repair costs are already significant. Able Pest Management has been protecting Oahu homes and businesses since 2000, and we bring the detection tools, treatment options, and Hawaii Department of Agriculture certifications to handle whatever species you’re dealing with.
Manager John Baraquio has worked in pest control since 1986 and holds Hawaii Department of Agriculture certification for Pesticides Branches 2 and 3. Every technician on our team is trained, licensed, and QualityPro certified. We’re also an A+ rated member of the Better Business Bureau and a member of the National Pest Management Association.
Don’t wait until damage is visible. Call (808) 353-5299 to schedule a professional termite inspection and get an accurate picture of your property’s condition before the problem spreads.Termite Inspections in Kailua
Every termite service we provide starts with a thorough inspection. We evaluate your property’s construction type, moisture-prone areas, and any site-specific conditions that could contribute to infestation. Kailua’s wood-framed homes, raised foundations, and coastal moisture exposure create multiple entry points termites can exploit without obvious surface signs.
We use Termatrac technology to detect termite movement hidden behind walls without destructive probing. This non-invasive approach lets us locate activity precisely, so treatment targets the actual problem rather than guesswork. Inspectors also look for mud tubes, discarded wings, hollow-sounding wood, frass (hard, granular pellets resembling coarse sand or coffee grounds), and blistered paint on wood surfaces.
Termite Inspection Reports (TIR) are available for Kailua properties. These reports document findings, recommended treatments, and preventative measures, and they’re commonly used to support real estate transactions when buyers, sellers, or lenders need formal documentation before a sale closes.
Termite Treatment Options for Kailua Properties
We don’t use a single approach for every infestation. Treatment depends on termite species, infestation scale, and how your property is constructed. Our options include:
- Termidor liquid barrier: A non-repellent termiticide applied around the structure’s perimeter. Subterranean termites unknowingly carry the active product back to their colony, supporting colony elimination rather than surface-level control.
- SENTRICON System with Always Active monitoring: An in-ground baiting system that continuously monitors for subterranean termite activity and delivers bait directly to foraging termites. Included in our Home Shield Plus plan starting at $95/month, which also covers drywood termite treatments.
- Localized drywood termite treatments and heat treatments: Targeted to specific areas of infestation. These carry a 90-day warranty.
- Tent fumigation: Used for larger or widespread drywood termite infestations. Carries a five-year warranty. If termites reinfest within the first two years, we’ll re-tent and re-fumigate. Reinfestation after two years is addressed with localized treatments.
All treatments follow Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, focusing on targeted application that minimizes unnecessary chemical use while helping protect your family, pets, and the surrounding environment.

“If you are looking for a way to rid your home of unwanted pests, LOOK NO FURTHER. When I first moved into our home, it was full of roaches and centipedes. I tried all the over-the-counter customary remedies, but to no avail. That's when someone suggested that I contact Able Pest Management. From my initial contact to the first visit with the technician, the staff at Able Pest has been amazing!! My technician took time to explain to me the plan of action, then followed up with me each month to make certain that my unwanted insects remained in their habitats! I am so thankful to say that I no longer have a problem with insects invading my space! I absolutely love that I can turn on the lights in any room in my house and no longer see little bugs scattering. Thank you Able Pest for giving me back my peace of mind!! The service rates are so reasonable, the scheduling is flexible, and the online payment portal is fast and convenient! This is truly one of the best investments I have made!!”- Sherry S.
