Termite Pest Control
Termites silently damage homes from the inside out, causing costly repairs. Our expert termite control services effectively eliminate infestations and protect your home’s structure.
How to Identify Termite Infestation in Your Home
Recognizing a termite infestation early can save on costly repairs. Here’s how to spot common signs of termites around your home:
Foundation & Crawl Spaces
Look for mud tubes along foundations or crawl spaces; termites use these to travel undetected.
Wooden Structures
Check wooden areas for hollow sounds; termites consume wood from the inside out.
Basement Walls & Joists
Peeling paint or bubbling walls can indicate hidden termite damage.
Windows & Door Frames
Termites may weaken these structures, making doors and windows hard to open.
Garden Mulch & Wood Piles
Outdoor mulch or wood piles near the house can attract termites to your property.
Why Do Termite Invade the Home?
Termites are drawn to homes with accessible wood, moisture, and warm environments. Wood structures like walls, floors, and foundations provide perfect nourishment, while moisture sources keep termites hydrated. Homes with insufficient ventilation or water leaks are especially vulnerable.
Prevention Tips
- Fix any water leaks in and around the home.
- Ensure proper ventilation in basements and crawl spaces.
- Remove wood debris and mulch away from the home’s foundation.
- Regularly inspect wooden structures for early signs of damage.

Termite - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for termites to go away after pest control?
After a professional termite treatment, you’ll typically notice a reduction in termite activity within a few days to a couple of weeks as the treatment begins affecting the colony. However, complete eradication can take several months, depending on the infestation’s severity. The process continues as termiticides or baiting systems target remaining termites and new ones that come into contact with treated areas, ensuring thorough elimination.
How can I get rid of termites permanently?
Achieving permanent termite control requires a comprehensive approach:
- Regular pest control: Schedule routine professional inspections and treatments to catch termite activity early.
- Moisture control: Fix any leaks and ensure proper drainage to reduce moisture, especially around your home’s foundation.
- Seal entry points: Check and seal gaps in the foundation to keep termites out.
- Use treated wood: Use termite-resistant wood in construction or renovations for added protection.
- Remove wood debris: Keep mulch, firewood, and wood debris away from the house, as these can attract termites.
Is termite control safe for pets and children?
Yes, professional termite control treatments are designed with safety in mind. Exterminators use pet- and child-friendly products and apply them in a controlled manner to target termites effectively while minimizing risk to others. Pets and children may be asked to avoid treated areas until the treatment dries or settles. Always follow the pest control provider’s safety guidelines for the best results.
What kills termites instantly?
Certain insecticides are formulated to kill termites on contact by targeting their nervous system. Professionals apply these treatments strategically to ensure immediate results and maximize the impact on the colony. Some pest control services also use baiting systems that spread toxic substances throughout the colony, leading to gradual yet complete elimination.
What do termites dislike the most?
Termites are deterred by specific substances and conditions:
- Borates: Borate-treated wood and solutions discourage termites from feeding on treated surfaces.
- Essential oils: Oils like orange and neem oil have natural termite-repelling properties.
- Dry environments: Termites need moisture to survive, so keeping your home dry and well-ventilated can help deter them.
- Treated wood: Using pressure-treated wood in construction projects can prevent infestations.
How long does a termite pest control service take?
Typically, a termite pest control service takes 2-4 hours, depending on the home’s size and the infestation level. The process includes a detailed inspection, treatment application (like liquid termiticides or baiting systems), and addressing any structural concerns. Follow-up visits are often recommended to monitor progress and apply additional treatments if needed, ensuring complete and long-lasting protection against termites.
