1. Thorough Inspection

Every effective termite treatment begins with a comprehensive inspection. Our licensed termite specialists will:

• Examine your entire property, including the foundation, crawl spaces, basement, attic, and exterior
• Use specialized tools like moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden termite activity
• Identify conducive conditions that might attract termites (moisture issues, wood-to-soil contact, etc.)
• Look for telltale signs including mud tubes, damaged wood, discarded wings, and frass (termite droppings)
• Document all findings with photos and detailed notes

What sets our inspections apart: Our termite inspectors are certified professionals with extensive training in termite biology and behavior. We don’t just look for obvious signs—we understand how termites think and where they’re most likely to hide.

2. Species Identification & Infestation Assessment

Different termite species require different treatment approaches. After our inspection, we’ll:

• Identify the specific termite species affecting your property (subterranean, drywood, dampwood, or Formosan)
• Determine the extent and severity of the infestation
• Assess any structural damage that may require repair
• Evaluate risk factors for future infestations

Why this matters: Treatment methods that work for subterranean termites may be ineffective against drywood termites. Our targeted approach ensures we’re using the right strategy for your specific situation.

3. Customized Treatment Plan

Based on our findings, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to your property’s specific needs. Your personalized plan will include:

• Recommended treatment method(s) based on termite species and infestation severity
• Detailed explanation of the proposed treatment process
• Timeline for implementation and expected results
• Prevention recommendations to reduce future risk
• Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
• Warranty and guarantee information

Our treatment options may include:

Liquid Termite Barriers

• Creates a continuous treated zone around your home’s foundation
• Provides long-term protection (typically 5-10 years)
• Termites cannot detect the treatment and will either be eliminated upon contact or repelled
• Ideal for subterranean termite prevention and treatment

Termite Baiting Systems

• Strategically placed stations around your property’s perimeter
• Targets the entire colony, including the queen
• Ongoing monitoring and maintenance ensure continuous protection
• Environmentally friendly with minimal chemical use
• Effective for both active infestations and prevention

Direct Wood Treatment

• Applied directly to affected wood and surrounding areas
• Ideal for localized infestations, especially drywood termites
• Can be used in combination with other treatment methods
• Less invasive than whole-structure fumigation

Structural Fumigation

• Recommended for severe or widespread drywood termite infestations
• Entire structure is tented and treated with specialized gas
• Eliminates 100% of termites throughout the structure
• Requires temporary relocation (typically 2-3 days)
• Leaves no residual protection, so preventive measures are recommended

4. Pre-Treatment Preparation

Once you approve the treatment plan, we’ll guide you through any necessary preparation steps:

For Liquid Treatments:

• Moving plants, mulch, or obstacles away from your foundation
• Identifying utility lines and water sources
• Determining if drilling through concrete slabs, patios, or driveways will be necessary

For Baiting Systems:

• Marking proposed station locations
• Identifying underground utilities before installation
• Removing obstacles from installation areas

For Fumigation:

• Detailed preparation checklist for removing food, plants, and sensitive items
• Guidance on protecting non-removable items
• Temporary relocation planning assistance for your family and pets
• Security measures during the treatment period

5. Professional Treatment Implementation

On treatment day, our certified technicians will:

• Arrive in clearly marked vehicles at the scheduled time
• Review the treatment plan with you before beginning
• Implement the agreed-upon treatment with precision and care
• Take all necessary safety precautions to protect your property and family
