Termite Treatment Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, a thorough inspection covers every area where termites typically hide – basements, crawl spaces, around foundations, and wooden structures. You’ll get a detailed report showing exactly what was found and where.

If termites are present, treatment begins immediately using proven methods specific to your situation. This might include liquid termiticides around your foundation, bait stations for ongoing monitoring, or targeted treatments for active colonies.

After treatment, you receive documentation showing the work completed and warranty coverage. Follow-up inspections ensure the treatment worked and catch any new activity early. You’ll know exactly when to expect each visit and what to look for between appointments.

Colwick’s older homes often have unique challenges like stone foundations or additions that create termite entry points. We know how to address these specific issues while protecting your home’s character and value. You’ll also receive prevention tips to reduce future risks.

How do I know if I have termites in my Colwick home?

Common signs include small holes in wood, soft spots in floors or walls, discarded wings near windows, and mud tubes along your foundation. You might also notice hollow-sounding wood when tapped or see small piles of what looks like sawdust near wooden structures. However, termites often work hidden for months before visible damage appears. A professional inspection can detect activity using specialized equipment that identifies termites before major damage occurs. In Colwick’s humid climate, subterranean termites are particularly common and can cause significant damage while remaining completely hidden from homeowners.

What does termite treatment cost and how long does it last?

Treatment costs depend on your home’s size, the extent of infestation, and treatment method needed. Most treatments range from several hundred to a few thousand dollars, which is minimal compared to the tens of thousands termite damage can cost. Liquid barrier treatments typically last 5-10 years, while bait systems provide ongoing protection with regular monitoring. Every treatment includes warranty coverage, so if termites return during the warranty period, retreatment is provided at no additional cost. The investment in professional treatment pays for itself by preventing costly structural damage and protecting your home’s value.

Are termite treatments safe for my family and pets?

Modern termite treatments are designed to target termites specifically while being safe for humans and pets when applied correctly. Most treatments are applied around your home’s exterior foundation or in areas where family members don’t have regular contact. Interior treatments, when needed, use minimal amounts of product in targeted locations. Professional technicians follow strict safety protocols and can explain exactly what products are being used and any precautions needed. Many homeowners prefer bait systems, which use even less product and pose virtually no risk to family members or pets.

How quickly can you treat an active termite infestation?

Active infestations can typically be treated within 24-48 hours of inspection, depending on the treatment method needed. Liquid treatments can often be completed in a single day, while bait systems may take a few weeks to eliminate the entire colony. The key is acting quickly once termites are discovered, as they can cause significant additional damage in just a few months. Emergency service is available for urgent situations, such as when termite clearance is needed for real estate transactions. Most treatments begin working immediately, though complete colony elimination may take several weeks depending on the size and location of the infestation.

Do I need a termite inspection for selling my home?

While New Jersey doesn’t legally require termite inspections for home sales, most buyers and mortgage lenders request them as part of the transaction. A clean termite inspection gives buyers confidence and can prevent deal delays or renegotiations. If termites are found, treatment can usually be completed quickly to satisfy buyer requirements. Having a recent professional inspection also demonstrates that you’ve maintained your property responsibly. Many real estate agents recommend getting an inspection before listing your home, so any issues can be addressed proactively rather than becoming obstacles during negotiations.

What's the difference between DIY and professional termite treatment?

DIY treatments might seem cost-effective, but they rarely eliminate entire termite colonies and often miss hidden infestation areas. Professional treatments use commercial-grade products not available to consumers and include comprehensive inspections that identify all problem areas. Professionals also provide warranties and follow-up service to ensure treatments work long-term. Termite behavior is complex – colonies can extend hundreds of feet underground and have multiple entry points to your home. Without proper training and equipment, DIY attempts often just move the problem to a different area rather than solving it completely. Professional treatment costs more upfront but prevents the much higher costs of ongoing damage and repeated failed treatments.
