Process
- Thorough Inspection – We conduct a comprehensive termite inspection using the latest technology like thermal imaging to find signs of termites inside and outside your home. We inspect slabs, foundations, attics, and crawl spaces.
- Identification & Analysis – Next, we identify what type of termites you have and analyze conditions enabling the infestation like moisture issues. Identifying the species and colony location is key for effective treatment.
- Customized Treatment Plan – We create a tailored treatment plan based on the inspection findings.
- Treatment Application – Our licensed technicians apply the prescribed treatment(s) based on our integrated pest management (IPM) approach. Treatments are strategically applied to eradicate termites at the source.
- Ongoing Prevention & Monitoring – We offer quarterly, biannual, or annual termite inspections and treatments to prevent future infestations. Monitoring ensures your home remains termite-free for the long run.
Treatment methods that may be used include:
- Chemical barriers – Termidor, Biflex, Brava
- Baits and stations
- Dust and foams
- Fumigation (tenting)
- Wood treatments
- Heat/cold treatment
Benefits of Termite Control
- Protects your most valuable investment – your home or business.
- Preventing the spread of active termites by eliminating the colony and preventing further spread within the property which reduces future pest issues.
- Defense against harmful pests provides peace of mind that your property is safe from termites.
- Termite activity and damage can be detected early before major infestation.
- Customized treatments tailored to your specific termite colony and property conditions.
- By stopping a termite infestation early before extensive structural damage, which can cause many thousands of dollars in repairs, the investment in termite control has a strong ROI.
Risk Warning: Left untreated for long periods, termite damage to buildings can become extensive and costly. Don’t wait to take proactive measures. Schedule professional inspection!
Signs You Need a Pest Control Plan
Watch out for these indicators:
- Visible Termite Damage – If you notice cracks in drywall, peeling paint, warped wood, or holes in siding, it could be termites actively infesting the area. Termite damage is often hidden though, so their presence is not always obvious.
- Swarming Termites – Seeing winged termites swarming around your home during mating season means colonies have formed inside and treatment is urgently needed to eliminate nests.
- Mud Tubes – If you spot narrow mud tubes which termites build to travel unseen on foundation walls or wooden structures, it confirms termite activity requiring extermination.
- Droppings and Discarded Wings – Small piles of termite fecal matter pellets or cast off wings around baseboards or window sills also indicates their presence.
- Rotting Wood – Wood damaged from moisture making it attractive for termites to burrow and feast. They target weather exposed or underground wood surfaces.
- Conducive Conditions – Easy access to moisture and wood food sources through cracks, poor drainage, leaky pipes, etc allow termites to thrive and breed.
If you observe any signs of possible termites, catching them early is key!
