Our Termite Treatment Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we conduct a thorough termite inspection of your entire property. We check your foundation, crawl spaces, basement, and any wood structures where termites typically hide. You’ll know exactly what we find – no surprises or hidden problems.

Next, we create a customized treatment plan based on your specific infestation. This might include liquid termiticides around your foundation, bait stations in high-risk areas, or targeted treatments for active colonies. We explain everything before we start.

After treatment, we monitor the results and provide follow-up inspections to ensure the termites are completely eliminated. You get documentation of our work and a clear timeline for when you can expect full protection. Most customers see results within days, with complete elimination typically achieved within a few weeks.

How do I know if I have a termite infestation?

Common signs of termite infestation include mud tubes along your foundation, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, discarded wings near windows or doors, and small piles of sawdust-like material called frass. You might also notice doors or windows that suddenly stick or don’t close properly due to termite damage warping the wood. In Locust Grove’s climate, subterranean termites are most active during spring and fall, so that’s when you’re most likely to spot these warning signs. If you see any of these indicators, don’t wait – termites can cause significant structural damage in just a few months.
Most termite treatments begin working within 24-48 hours, but complete elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the size of the infestation. Liquid termiticides create an immediate barrier that kills termites on contact, while bait systems may take longer as termites carry the treatment back to their colony. You’ll usually notice a significant reduction in termite activity within the first week. We schedule follow-up inspections to monitor progress and ensure the treatment is working effectively. The key is patience – rushing the process or using inadequate treatments often leads to recurring infestations that cost more to fix later.
Yes, when applied by licensed professionals, modern termite treatments are safe for families and pets. We use EPA-approved products and follow strict application guidelines to minimize any exposure risk. Most liquid termiticides are applied around the exterior foundation where family members and pets don’t typically spend time. For interior treatments, we’ll provide specific instructions about any temporary restrictions, though these are usually minimal. Bait stations are completely enclosed and tamper-resistant. We always discuss safety protocols with you before beginning treatment and answer any specific concerns you have about children or pets in your home.
Termite treatment costs vary based on your home’s size, the extent of the infestation, and the treatment method required. Most residential treatments in Locust Grove range from several hundred to a few thousand dollars – significantly less than the structural damage termites can cause if left untreated. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees after completing our inspection. Many homeowners find that professional treatment costs less than they expected, especially when compared to potential repair costs. We can also discuss treatment options that fit different budgets while still providing effective protection for your home.
Yes, ongoing protection is essential because termites are constantly present in New Jersey soil. A one-time treatment eliminates current infestations, but new colonies can establish themselves around your property over time. Most professional treatments include annual inspections to catch new activity early, when it’s easiest and least expensive to address. Think of it like changing your car’s oil – regular maintenance prevents major problems. We typically recommend annual inspections with retreatment as needed, usually every 3-5 years depending on your property’s risk factors. This proactive approach costs much less than dealing with new infestations or structural damage.
While DIY termite products are available, they rarely provide complete elimination of established infestations. Store-bought sprays and baits typically only kill termites you can see, missing the colony and queen that produce new termites. Professional treatments use more effective products and application methods that aren’t available to consumers. More importantly, we know where to look for hidden termite activity and how to create comprehensive protection around your entire property. DIY treatments often give homeowners false confidence while termites continue causing damage in areas that weren’t properly treated. Given the potential cost of structural damage, professional treatment is usually more cost-effective than attempting DIY solutions.
