Termite inspection & treatment that protects your investment.
Termites cause $5 billion in US property damage every year — and most homeowner insurance doesn't cover it. Early detection is everything.

Know your enemy
Three termite species. Three different threats.
Subterranean Termites
The most destructive species in North America. They live in underground colonies (up to 2 million workers) and build mud tubes to access above-ground food sources. They cause over $5 billion in structural damage annually in the US.
Typically found
Soil adjacent to the foundation, under slabs, along plumbing penetrations
Treatment
Liquid soil treatment (Termidor) or Sentricon bait station system
Drywood Termites
Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites don't need contact with soil. They infest dry wood directly — furniture, hardwood floors, structural timbers — and can be difficult to detect until damage is extensive.
Typically found
Window frames, door frames, hardwood flooring, furniture, roof timbers
Treatment
Tent fumigation (most effective) or local treatment for isolated infestations
Dampwood Termites
Dampwood termites target wood with high moisture content. Their presence often signals an underlying moisture problem that must be addressed alongside treatment. Less structurally destructive than subterranean species.
Typically found
Basements, crawl spaces, wood in contact with soil, near water leaks
Treatment
Moisture source elimination + wood treatment + selective replacement
Silent destroyers
Damage often hidden for years
Early detection
6 warning signs of termite activity.
Termites are called "silent destroyers" because damage often goes undetected for years. Know what to look for before it becomes a costly repair.
1.Mud Tubes
Pencil-width tubes of soil along foundation walls, piers, or plumbing — the highways subterranean termites use to travel.
2.Damaged Wood
Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, or surfaces that look blistered, sagging, or darker than normal.
3.Swarmers
Winged termites (alates) swarming indoors in spring — often mistaken for flying ants. Finding discarded wings near windows is a strong indicator.
4.Frass
Small, pellet-like droppings resembling sawdust pushed out of kick-out holes by drywood termites.
5.Stuck Doors & Windows
Doors or windows that suddenly become hard to open can indicate termite damage warping the frames.
6.Clicking Sounds
Soldier termites bang their heads against wood to signal danger — a faint clicking sound in your walls can be termites at work.
Spotted any of these signs?
Termite damage accelerates over time — the sooner you inspect, the less it costs.
Schedule inspection nowOur process
A thorough, room-by-room inspection every time.
Visual Exterior Inspection
We inspect the foundation, exterior walls, siding, crawl space vents, wood-to-soil contact, roof eaves, and all wood structural elements.
Interior Inspection
Technician inspects basements, crawl spaces, attic, window and door frames, garage, and any wood near plumbing or HVAC penetrations.
Moisture Mapping
We use moisture meters to identify high-moisture areas — a leading predictor of termite activity and conducive conditions.
Findings & Report
You receive a written report with photos documenting any active termite activity, damage observed, and recommended treatment options with pricing.
Treatment options
The right method for your specific situation.
Liquid Soil Treatment
We apply Termidor SC (fipronil) as a continuous liquid barrier in the soil around and under your foundation. Termites pass through the treated zone, pick up the active ingredient, and transfer it throughout the colony — eliminating it within 90 days.
Timeline
Treatment: 1 day · Protection: 10–15 years
- Long-lasting 10–15 year protection
- Non-repellent — termites don't avoid it
- Colony elimination, not just deterrence
Baiting System (Sentricon)
Sentricon in-ground stations are installed around your home's perimeter. Worker termites find the bait and share it with the colony. The active ingredient prevents termites from molting, causing the colony to collapse over 30–90 days.
Timeline
Installation: 1 day · Ongoing monitoring
- Environmentally minimal — no soil injection
- Ongoing colony monitoring
- Preferred for sensitive sites
Tent Fumigation
The structure is sealed under a tent and filled with sulfuryl fluoride gas, which penetrates all wood. This is the only method that guarantees 100% elimination of drywood termites throughout the entire structure.
Timeline
Treatment: 2–3 days out of home
- 100% whole-structure elimination
- Reaches all wood — no exceptions
- Effective against all wood-destroying insects
Local / Spot Treatment
When the infestation is localized, we drill small holes into affected wood and inject a foam or liquid termiticide. Best for early-stage drywood infestations or specific structural members that can be directly accessed.
Timeline
Treatment: 2–4 hours
- No need to vacate your home
- Lower cost for small infestations
- Minimal disruption
