Our Termite Treatment & Control Process

01

Thorough Inspection

We inspect the full structure — foundation, basement/crawl space, attic, and interior — for active termite evidence and conditions conducive to activity.

02

Treatment Recommendation

Based on infestation extent and structure type, we recommend liquid barrier treatment, bait station installation, or a combination.

03

Treatment

Liquid termiticide is applied to the soil around and under the foundation. Bait stations are installed at intervals around the perimeter.

04

Annual Monitoring

Bait stations are inspected and refreshed annually. Annual inspections maintain warranty coverage and catch any new activity early.

Termite Treatment & Control FAQ for Detroit Homeowners

How often should Detroit homeowners get termite treatment & control?
Given Detroit's lake-effect snow from lake st. clair and lake erie (avg 43 inches), most homeowners benefit from termite treatment & control at least once a year. Ice dam prevention on low-slope roofs (Nov–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Detroit most need termite treatment & control?
Brick bungalows and colonials throughout Wayne County and Tudor and Colonial Revival in Grosse Pointe and Birmingham are the most common home types in Detroit and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How do I know if I have termites?
Signs include mud tubes on foundation walls, discarded wings near windows and doors (swarmer season), hollow-sounding wood, small piles of sawdust-like frass (drywood termites), and visibly damaged wood.
How much does termite treatment cost?
Liquid soil treatment for an average home runs $800–$2,500. Bait station installation runs $1,200–$3,500 including first year monitoring. Annual monitoring plans are $200–$400/year.
How long does termite treatment last?
Liquid termiticide barriers last 5–10 years in the soil before reapplication is needed. Bait stations provide continuous monitoring and interception as long as they're maintained.
Do I need a termite inspection when buying a home?
Yes. A WDI (Wood-Destroying Insect) report is required by most lenders and is highly recommended for all buyers. We provide WDI reports for real estate transactions.
