Severe structural damage

Drywood Termites

Live inside wood, no soil contact needed

Aggressive "super termites" with huge colonies

Rapid, extensive destruction

How Professional Termite Control Works

Our comprehensive 5-step process protects your home's structural integrity with proven termite elimination and prevention methods.

Step 1: Comprehensive WDI Inspection
Step 1

Comprehensive WDI Inspection

Licensed inspectors in our network conduct thorough Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) inspections of your entire property: crawl spaces, basements, attics, foundations, visible wood members, and exterior perimeter. They identify termite species (subterranean, drywood, or Formosan), locate mud tubes, active infestations, wood damage, and conducive conditions. Detailed inspection reports document all findings.

  • Complete property inspection
  • Termite species identification
  • Detailed written report
Step 2: Treatment Method Selection
Step 2

Treatment Method Selection

Based on termite species and property conditions, technicians in our network recommend the best treatment: liquid barrier treatments (Termidor, Premise) for immediate protection, bait systems (Sentricon, Advance) for long-term colony elimination, or combination approaches. Each method has advantages—liquid works faster, baits are less invasive. Treatment selection depends on your specific situation.

  • Liquid vs. bait system options
  • Species-appropriate treatment
  • Cost and warranty comparison
Step 3: Professional Treatment Application
Step 3

Professional Treatment Application

For liquid treatments, technicians trench around your home's foundation and inject termiticide into the soil, creating a continuous barrier that kills termites on contact. For bait systems, monitoring stations are installed around your property's perimeter and checked regularly. Drywood termite treatments may involve localized wood treatments or whole-structure fumigation for severe infestations.

  • Complete perimeter treatment
  • EPA-approved products
  • Licensed applicators only
Step 4: Monitoring & Follow-Up
Step 4

Monitoring & Follow-Up

Technicians in our network return for follow-up inspections to monitor termite activity, check bait stations for consumption, verify treatment effectiveness, and assess any new conducive conditions. Bait systems require ongoing monitoring visits (typically quarterly) to ensure stations are maintained and bait is refreshed when consumed. Annual inspections are recommended for all properties.

  • Regular monitoring visits
  • Treatment effectiveness verification
  • Annual WDI inspections
Step 5: Warranty & Ongoing Protection
Step 5

Warranty & Ongoing Protection

Most treatments include a renewable warranty with free re-treatment if termites return. Liquid barriers last 5-10 years; bait systems provide continuous protection with monitoring. Technicians in our network provide recommendations for eliminating conducive conditions: fix moisture issues, remove wood-to-soil contact, ensure proper drainage, and maintain ventilation. Regular inspections and warranty renewal ensure long-term protection.

  • Renewable warranty programs
  • Conducive condition correction
  • Long-term structural protection

How do I know if I have termites?+
Common signs include mud tubes on foundation walls, discarded wings near windows, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, buckling or bubbling paint, small piles of frass (termite droppings), and visible swarmers (winged termites). Professional inspections can detect hidden infestations.
What's the difference between termite treatment methods?+
Liquid treatments create a chemical barrier in the soil around your home that kills termites on contact. Bait systems use monitoring stations with slow-acting poison that termites carry back to the colony. Liquid treatments work faster; bait systems are less invasive and environmentally friendly.
How much does termite control cost?+
Costs vary by treatment type and home size. Liquid treatments typically range from $1,200-$2,500. Bait systems cost $1,500-$3,500 initially, plus annual monitoring fees of $300-$500. Get multiple quotes through PestPal to compare options and prices.
How long does termite treatment last?+
Liquid barrier treatments typically last 5-10 years with proper application. Bait systems require ongoing monitoring and maintenance but provide continuous protection. Most companies offer annual inspections and renewable warranties with treatment.
Are termite treatments safe for my family and pets?+
Yes. Modern termiticides are specifically designed to target termites while having minimal impact on humans and pets. Products are applied underground or in contained bait stations. Your technician will explain any necessary precautions.
Do I need a termite inspection when buying a home?+
Absolutely. Termite damage repairs can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Most lenders require a Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection before closing. Even if not required, it's a wise investment to protect your purchase.
