We treat termites in roof framing members, floor joists and rafter feet
Managed by Bermudian architectural designer Sue Rebello and supported by Bermuda’s leading independent inspection company, structural engineers Mason and Associates Ltd*, HomeTeam offers a practical alternative to tenting your home, condominium, church or school.
We are a locally owned company offering FREE inspections of your roof framing and wood floor joists. We have access to structural engineers who are qualified to inspect and assess the damage that wood boring insects may be inflicting upon your home. Our focus is on protecting the structural components rather than treating furniture, doors and windows.
Our product is most effective on unpainted, natural wood, allowing it to soak into the timber and remain effective for the life of the wood. One application of our eco-friendly protect is all you will ever need!

Drywood termites generally live, feed and nest in wood which has a very low moisture content. Unlike subterranean termites, they do not require any contact with the soil in order to thrive.
A male and female pair work their way into the wood chosen for the nest. The opening through which they enter the wood is sealed with a plug of brown cement-like material about 1/8-inch in diameter. Behind this plug they excavate a chamber where the queen lays the first eggs. The nymphs which hatch from these eggs perform the work of the colony.
Damage done by drywood termites is entirely different from that caused by subterranean termites.
These termites cut across the grain of the wood, excavating large chambers which are connected by small tunnels within the wood matrix. Damage to the interior wood matrix can go undetected for years, causing structural framing in roofs and floors to become compromised. If left untreated multiple colonies can do sufficient damage to roof and floors to warrant significant strengthening measures or in severe cases of damage, complete replacement.
Bermuda homes can also play host to carpenter ants and powder dust beetles. Our product is also an effective treatment for these wood boring pests too.
