Description
Termites work silently and can damage structural wood for years before anyone notices. Our Termite Inspection & Treatment service starts with a careful inspection by a contractor experienced in wood-destroying insects, and ends with a clear plan you can understand.
The inspection
The technician looks for mud tubes along the foundation, discarded swarmer wings near windows and doors, frass (pellet-like droppings from drywood termites), blistered or hollow-sounding wood, and moisture problems that attract termites. Accessible areas such as crawl spaces, basements, garages, attics and exterior wood are examined, and findings are documented in a written report.
Treatment options
- Liquid termiticide barrier – applied to the soil around and under the foundation to stop subterranean termites from reaching the structure.
- Bait systems – stations installed around the home that termites feed on and share with the colony, suppressing it over time.
- Spot or localized treatments – for drywood termites in accessible wood; whole-structure fumigation is referred to specialists when required.
The starting price covers the inspection and report for a typical home. If treatment is needed, you receive a written quote first; nothing is performed without your approval. Read our guide to termite warning signs to learn what to watch for.
