Detailed Service Offerings
Our Comprehensive Termite Inspection
Our termite control service begins with a thorough inspection of your property. This allows us to identify the species of termite, the extent of the infestation, and any conditions that may be contributing to the problem.
Visual Inspection
We conduct a detailed visual inspection, checking for signs of termite activity, such as mud tubes, damaged wood, and termite droppings. We also look for potential entry points and moisture sources that could attract termites.
Moisture Assessment
Termites thrive in moist environments. We assess the moisture levels in and around your property to identify areas that may be conducive to termite infestations.
Effective Termite Treatments
Based on our inspection findings, we develop a customized treatment plan to eliminate the termite infestation and prevent future problems.
Liquid Termiticides
We use liquid termiticides to create a barrier around your property, preventing termites from entering and infesting the structure. These termiticides are highly effective and long-lasting.
Baiting Systems
Termite baiting systems are designed to attract termites and deliver a lethal dose of insecticide back to the colony. This is an effective way to eliminate entire termite colonies.
Preventative Measures
In addition to treating existing termite infestations, we offer preventative measures to protect your property from future problems.
Soil Treatment
Treating the soil around your foundation can create a barrier that prevents termites from accessing your property.
Wood Treatment
Applying wood preservatives can protect wood structures from termite damage.
Common Problems and Solutions
Visible Mud Tubes
Mud tubes, often found along foundation walls or wooden structures, are a clear sign of termite activity. They provide a protected pathway for termites to travel between their colony and food source. Ignoring mud tubes can allow termites to silently continue their destructive work, weakening the structure of your home. Our termite control services will identify and eliminate these tubes, followed by a thorough treatment to prevent future construction and feeding.
Hollow-Sounding Wood
Termites often eat wood from the inside out, leaving the surface intact while hollowing out the interior. Knocking on wood and hearing a hollow sound can indicate a termite infestation. This can compromise the structural integrity of wooden beams, floors, and support systems. We inspect for this damage, replacing afflicted wood, and then implementing a termite barrier to prevent any further degradation of property.
Discarded Wings
Swarming termites, or alates, are winged reproductives that leave their colony to start new colonies. Discarded wings near windowsills or doors can indicate a termite infestation. These swarms are a sign of mature termite colonies nearby. Our professionals will help trace these swarms, find the nest, and completely eliminate the possibility of these termites building a colony in your property.
Damaged Drywall
Termites can tunnel through drywall in search of cellulose, causing damage and creating small holes or sagging areas. This can lead to costly repairs and further structural damage if left unaddressed. We check drywall for small holes, and also look for moisture that termites will nest around. Our exterminators will ensure all drywall is free of termites to prevent future harm.
Uneven or Bubbling Paint
Termites can create tunnels just beneath the surface of painted walls, causing the paint to bubble or appear uneven. This can be an early sign of termite activity and should be investigated promptly. This can ruin the appeal of any room and can cause long-term issues to a building. Our skilled team ensure that all paint is restored in the process of termite damage treatment with the goal of an appealing, healthy, and secure home.
Sticking Windows or Doors
Termites can damage the wooden frames of windows and doors, causing them to warp and stick. This can make it difficult to open and close them properly. Such damage means termites are likely to travel across properties, which could lead to the entire home or building being at risk. We ensure building and home doors are well-protected and can stop the warping and sticking of frames.
Musty Odors
As termites consume wood and create damp conditions within walls, they often produce a musty odor. This scent can be a sign of a large and established termite infestation. These odors can be off-putting to guests and can even lead to the formation of mold. Our inspections use odor detection practices combined with traditional visual methods to ensure that this problem is addressed as thoroughly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have termites?
Common signs of termites include mud tubes, discarded wings, hollow-sounding wood, and damaged drywall. If you suspect you have termites, it's best to schedule a professional inspection.
What is the difference between subterranean and drywood termites?
Subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood. Drywood termites live entirely within the wood they infest, without needing soil contact.
Are termite treatments safe for my family and pets?
We use termite treatments that are safe for your family and pets when applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. We also offer eco-friendly treatment options for customers who prefer them.
How often should I have my property inspected for termites?
We recommend having your property inspected for termites at least once a year, especially if you live in an area with a high termite risk.
How long does termite treatment take?
The duration of termite treatment depends on the extent of the infestation and the treatment method used. Our technicians can provide a timeline during the inspection process.
What is the cost of termite control?
The cost of termite control varies depending on the size of your property, the severity of the infestation, and the treatment options chosen. We can provide a free estimate after inspecting your property.

Do I need to prepare my home before termite treatment?
Yes, there are a few steps you can take to prepare your home before termite treatment.

We will give you a comprehensive preparation checklist before the treatment begins.
