Termites are Built for Destruction:
Termites are very small insects that are similar in size to ants, which often leads to confusion.
Almost 4 million U.S. homes are infested by termites each year. Termites can be found in every state except for Alaska.
They primarily feed on wood, but also damage paper, books, insulation, and even swimming pool liners and filtration systems.
Signs of infestation are earthen (mud) tubes extending over foundation walls, support piers, sill plates, floor joists, etc. The mud tubes are typically about the diameter of a pencil, but sometimes can be thicker.
Here’s What Termites Do:
Termites are known as "silent destroyers" because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring and even wallpaper undetected.
Each year, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage - costs that aren't usually covered by homeowners' insurance policies.
Besides the monetary impact, thousands of winged termites emerging inside one's home are an emotionally trying experience — not to mention the thought of termites silently feasting on one's largest investment.
Discovering winged termites indoors almost always indicates an infestation warranting treatment.
our termite approach:
Unfortunately, Do-it-yourself termite treatments are mostly ineffective and will not prevent termites from re-infesting your property. Termites are highly secretive insects that are difficult to identify without specialized training.
Our exterminators use the HexPro Termite Baiting System which is designed to protect structures from termites through monitoring and baiting when termites are found to be active. Using the HexPro Termite Baiting System consists of three steps:
Monitoring for termite activity
When termite activity is detected replacing the wood monitors with Shatter Termite Bait.
Resuming monitoring with wood monitors when termite activity has stopped.
We also offer Pre-Soil treatment prior to the build of your home or business and Post conventional treatments
