Why Drywood Termites Are a Problem in Aiea
Aiea sits on hillside terrain rising from Pearl Harbor, with valley microclimates that trap humidity and mature tropical landscaping throughout older neighborhoods. Drywood Termites thrive in sound dry wood — attic rafters, eaves, door frames, wooden furniture, and any unpainted or weathered wood above ground, which is exactly what Aiea offers — older hillside housing stock, valley humidity, and proximity to Pearl Harbor's waterfront create year-round pest pressure.

Drywood termites are one of the most destructive pests in Hawaii, causing millions of dollars in property damage across Oahu each year. Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites live entirely within the wood they consume and do not require contact with the soil. They infest structural timbers, furniture, picture frames, and any other dry wood in your home.
