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.

Annual Monitoring

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