Termites

Common signs include hollow or damaged wood, mud tubes along walls or the foundation, discarded wings near windows and doors, and blistered or bubbling paint and drywall. These signs often appear only after termites have already been active for some time, which is why regular professional inspections are so important.

Termites enter through soil-to-wood contact, foundation cracks, gaps around plumbing, and areas with excess moisture. They build mud tubes up along your foundation as a protected pathway into your home. Once inside, a feeding pheromone signals the rest of the colony to follow, allowing the infestation to spread quickly.

Termite control is far more complex than most homeowners realize, and DIY methods are not recommended. Over-the-counter products may provide temporary relief but rarely eliminate the full colony. Professional treatment is the most effective solution and comes with ongoing monitoring and warranties that cover damage replacement, giving you protection that DIY simply cannot match.

We offer liquid barrier treatments, baiting systems, or a combination of both depending on your home’s structure and risk factors. Liquid barriers create a protective zone around your foundation while baiting systems target and eliminate colonies at the source. Learn more on our Treatments & Renewals page.

At least once per year. Regular inspections catch problems early, keep your protection plan active, and can save you thousands in potential damage down the road. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that termite activity can go undetected for years, making routine inspections one of the smartest investments you can make.

Yes. Licensed professionals use EPA-approved products applied in targeted areas, primarily under and around the foundation rather than inside your home. Baiting stations are another safe and effective option, designed to target termites specifically with minimal impact on your family and pets.
