Why All Natural Wood Protection?
Protect Your Home from Nature’s Silent Destroyers
Your home represents more than just a financial investment—it’s where your family creates memories and finds security. Yet here in the Pacific Northwest, our homes face constant threats from wood-destroying pests that can silently compromise your home’s structural integrity. Termites alone cause over $5 billion in property damage annually, often going undetected until significant damage has already occurred.

The Hidden Cycle That Threatens Your Home
Most homeowners don’t realize there’s a natural progression that leads to structural damage:
1. Moisture accumulates inside your home’s wooden structures.
2. This moisture creates the perfect environment for dry rot fungus to develop.
3. Wood-destroying pests are attracted to and feed on this fungus.
4. As pests multiply, they cause extensive structural damage.
This cycle can be happening right now, behind your walls, beneath your floors, or above your ceiling—invisible until the damage becomes significant.
Your Home Contains More Vulnerable Wood Than You Realize
Wood surrounds you, from your foundation’s supporting beams, to your walls and roof. Without proper protection, these essential elements of your home become an irresistible feast for wood-destroying pests.

You want to avoid attracting wood-destroying pests to your home in the first place. Fortunately, you can do several things that will cross your property off their radar.
- Buy treated wood if you’re building a fence or a deck
- Buy wood that is naturally resistant to pests, such as cedar or teak
- Seal existing wood – use a sealer on your deck or patio or other areas
- Treat raw wood – you can even find spray products that will treat wood below the ground
While some of these steps may not guarantee you won’t have pests, they can reduce your risk significantly.
The most important thing you can do is have a regular inspection to check for the presence of these pests or damage to your wood. A professional team can recognize the signs and help you deal with the problem before it becomes severe.
How do I identify the problem?
Dangerous pests can do a lot of damage before you know about it, but you can identify the issue if you know what to look for. Often, the bugs are so small you won’t see them, only the result of their work.
For example, wood beetles will leave a pile of sawdust where they bore holes into the wood. Carpenter ants travel in lines, which make them easier to spot. They will leave large holes in wood where they have penetrated. Termites may leave piles of wings once they shed. Areas where they have been working are often soft and will crumble if pressed.
What symptoms should I look for?
While it’s often difficult to see the pests that are destroying your wood, you can learn to recognize symptoms of a potential problem. Consider all the following:
- Soft floors
- Creaking boards as you walk
- Doors that aren’t aligned correctly
- Squeaking doors
- Noise in the walls
- Flaky foundation
These signs may indicate a problem with pests or another issue. The only way to tell for sure is by getting an inspection from a pest control company.
