Oahu's warm, humid weather means pests don't take a season off. Roaches, ants, rodents and Formosan termites stay active all year, and older homes with worn screens, gaps and aging wood give them easy ways in. Our technicians see these problems every day, so they know where to look and what to fix first.
Termite Control on Oahu
Termites are the costliest pest problem on the island. The University of Hawaii calls the Formosan subterranean termite "the single most damaging insect pest to homes and other structures in Hawaii," and estimated prevention, control and repair costs at over $100 million a year as of 1996 (UH CTAHR).
Xtermco has done termite work since 1964. We offer:
- Termite inspections, including inspection reports for home sales.
- Sentricon baiting for ground (subterranean) termites, with ongoing station monitoring.
- Tent fumigation for drywood termites, see termite fumigation on Oahu.
For treatment options and real estate reports, see our page on termite control in Honolulu.
Rodent Control in Honolulu and on Oahu
Rodent control starts with an inspection to find droppings, nests and entry points. Then the rats or mice inside are trapped, the openings they use are sealed, and food sources are cut off. Follow-up visits confirm activity has stopped. On Oahu, rats and mice stay active all year, so sealing entry points matters as much as trapping.
- Inspect: find where rodents travel, nest and get in.
- Trap: remove the rodents already inside. The CDC recommends snap traps over glue and live traps for homes (CDC).
- Seal: close roof, vent, pipe and door gaps with materials rodents can't chew through.
- Follow up: check that activity has stopped.
Rat control matters for health here too: the Hawaii Department of Health tells residents to "control snail, slug and rat populations around homes, gardens and farms" to reduce rat lungworm disease (Hawaii DOH). See rodent control on Oahu, or if you're trying traps first, read whether DIY rodent traps really work.
Commercial and Industrial Pest Control
Restaurants, hotels, schools, offices and warehouses need steady, documented service, not a one-time spray. Xtermco sets up recurring programs around your property and your inspection schedule. See commercial pest control in Hawaii and industrial pest control for facilities.
How to choose an exterminator on Oʻahu
Four questions to ask before you hire any pest control company in Honolulu, Waipahu or anywhere across the island.
What should a pest control company on Oʻahu be licensed for?
Hawaii's Regulated Industries Complaints Office advises checking that both the company and the technician are licensed for the type of work, such as termite, fumigation or general pest. Look up any license on Hawaii Business Check before signing (ours is PCO-201). For termite work, ask whether the technician is trained on Sentricon or fumigation.
Should I choose a company that only treats my home, or one that treats commercial properties too?
Oʻahu has distinct residential and commercial needs — restaurants and hotels have different code requirements than houses. Xtermco serves both.
How do I know if a company’s reviews are real?
Check the company directly on Google, Yelp and the BBB rather than trusting testimonials alone — links to all three are in the proof block above.
What’s the difference between a pest control visit and a termite inspection?
General pest control is a recurring treatment plan; a termite inspection is a one-time or annual check for active infestation.
