For businesses and homeowners with wood construction and cellulose containing materials, termite infestations can result in substantial damage if left unchecked. Our inspection, information, advice, and treatments can help protect your structures from termite damage.

Termite Inspections:
We thoroughly inspect your home or business to identify signs of termite infestation. Some of the things we look for are:

• Damaged or hollow-sounding wood
• Mud tubes built for termites traveling above ground
• Pinholes in drywall or wallpaper
• Piles of small wings

We also provide wood destroying insect reports for real estate sales.

To reduce the risk of termite activity in your home or business, we recommend limiting the conditions that are conducive to termite infestation, including:

• Wood to ground contact
• Excessive moisture
  • A/C condensate draining next to siding or slab of house
  • Gutters draining too close to siding or slab of house
• Soil too high around slab of house
• Bark mulch next to slab of house
• Wood pile in contact with house
• Heavy foliage around siding or slab of house
• Wood rot
• Improper drainage
• Wooden debris under or around house
• Form boards left in place

Termite Control
There are a variety of termite control options. We provide an effective treatment plan, which may include:

• Exterior Protection – a continuous chemical zone created around the exterior of your home or building to keep termites from entering
• Termite Baiting – bait stations placed around your home to monitor termite activity
• Liquid Borate – treatments applied to the wood will protect the wood
• Termite Foam – injected into walls where activity is noted

We also offer pretreatments for termite control if you plan to build a new structure or are adding on to a pre-existing structure.
