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.

Given Grand Rapids's lake-effect snow from lake michigan averaging 72 inches per year, most homeowners benefit from termite treatment & control at least once a year. Heavy lake-effect snow removal from roofs and driveways (Nov–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.

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.
