Yes, termites are a common problem in Alexandria. Northern Virginia’s humid summers, mild winters, and frequent rainfall provide the conditions termites need to survive and build colonies. Many local homes, especially older ones with wood framing or crawl spaces, offer easy access and steady moisture sources that attract these pests. Routine inspections are a smart way for Alexandria homeowners to detect termite activity early and help prevent costly damage.

In Alexandria, termite season typically runs from early spring through late fall. Swarming activity (the most visible sign of termites) usually peaks between April and June, when warmer temperatures and higher humidity allow colonies to reproduce. However, because subterranean termites remain active underground year-round, they can still cause damage even outside of swarm season. Regular inspections are the best way to stay ahead of them during peak season and throughout the entire year.

Yes, older homes in Alexandria are generally more vulnerable to termite damage. Many historic properties in the area were built with wood framing and may lack modern protective features like treated wood and sealed foundations. Over time, small cracks can create entryways for termites, and moisture from leaks can give them the damp environment they need to expand their colonies. If you own an older house in Alexandria, you can protect your home’s value by proactively scheduling termite inspections and treatments.

No, in most cases, homeowners insurance in Virginia does not cover termite damage. Termite activity and the resulting structural issues are usually classified as preventable, making them the homeowner’s responsibility. Because repairs can be expensive, many Virginia homeowners choose to schedule regular termite inspections and preventative treatments to detect issues early, before major damage develops.

In Alexandria, the termite you’re most likely to encounter is the Eastern subterranean termite. These pests live cryptobiotic lifestyles, meaning they are nearly always hidden from our view, whether they are underground or burrowed into wood. Because they are so stealthy, routine termite inspections are the best way to gauge if your home is at risk from these destructive pests.

In Alexandria, the local weather tends to increase the risk of termite activity. The Mid-Atlantic climate’s warm, humid summers provide the right conditions for subterranean termites to stay active and feed, while mild winters allow colonies to survive year-round without a lengthy period of dormancy. Frequent precipitation can also create damp areas around foundations, giving termites easier access to the wood and other cellulose materials they feed on.
