Termite Control FAQ
How do I know if I have termites?
Termites often go undetected until significant damage occurs. Look for mud tubes along foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings, or small piles of what looks like sawdust (frass). If you notice any of these signs, call us for a professional inspection.
What’s the difference between termites and carpenter ants?
Both damage wood, but termites eat it while carpenter ants only excavate it for nesting. Termites have straight antennae and uniform body segments; carpenter ants have elbowed antennae and a pinched waist. Both require professional treatment but with different approaches.
How long does termite treatment last?
Liquid barrier treatments typically protect for 5-10 years. Baiting systems provide ongoing protection with regular monitoring. We offer annual inspection programs to ensure your home stays protected long-term.
Do I need a termite inspection before buying a home?
Absolutely. A Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection is highly recommended—and often required by lenders—before purchasing a home. We provide detailed inspection reports that meet real estate transaction requirements.
