Termite Treatment Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we conduct a thorough inspection of your property, checking all the areas where termites typically enter—around your foundation, basement, crawl spaces, and any wood-to-soil contact points. We’ll show you exactly what we find and explain whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or just conducive conditions.

If termites are present, we’ll recommend the most effective treatment method for your specific situation. This might be liquid termiticide applied around your foundation, bait stations for ongoing monitoring, or a combination approach depending on the severity and location of the problem.

Treatment typically takes a few hours to complete, and you’ll start seeing results within days. We’ll schedule a follow-up inspection to ensure the treatment worked and discuss ongoing prevention strategies to keep your home protected long-term.

Comprehensive Termite Prevention Treatment

What's Included in Your Treatment

Your termite treatment includes a complete property inspection, identification of termite species and colony locations, and application of professional-grade termiticides that aren’t available to homeowners. We also address the conditions that attracted termites in the first place—moisture problems, wood-to-soil contact, and entry points around your foundation.

You’ll receive a detailed report showing exactly where we found termite activity and what we did to eliminate it. We explain the signs to watch for and provide recommendations for preventing future infestations, including landscaping and maintenance tips specific to your property.

Many Merchantville homes have unique challenges due to their age and construction style. We tailor our approach to address these specific vulnerabilities while working around your landscaping and daily routine with minimal disruption.

How do I know if I have termites or just regular ants?

Termites have straight antennae, thick waists, and wings of equal length if you see the swarmers. Ants have bent antennae, pinched waists, and unequal wing lengths. But the biggest difference is what they leave behind—termites create mud tubes along your foundation and leave wood that sounds hollow when tapped. If you’re seeing small piles of what looks like sawdust near wooden structures, or if you notice any wooden areas that seem soft or hollow, those are strong indicators of termite activity rather than ants.
You’ll typically see termites stop feeding within 24-48 hours of treatment, but complete colony elimination takes 2-4 weeks depending on the size and location of the colony. The termiticide we use is designed to be carried back to the colony by worker termites, which gradually eliminates the entire population including the queen. We schedule a follow-up inspection about 30 days after treatment to confirm the colony is eliminated and check for any signs of new activity.
Yes, when applied by licensed professionals, modern termite treatments are safe around families and pets. We use EPA-approved termiticides that are specifically designed to target termites while posing minimal risk to humans and animals. Most treatments are applied around the exterior foundation or in targeted interior areas where children and pets don’t typically spend time. We’ll provide specific safety guidelines for your situation, but in most cases, normal household activities can resume within a few hours of treatment.
Termite treatment costs vary based on the size of your home, severity of the infestation, and treatment method required. Most residential treatments in the Merchantville area range from $800 to $2,500 for initial treatment. While this might seem significant, it’s much less expensive than repairing structural damage—which can easily cost $10,000 or more if termites are left untreated. We provide detailed estimates after our inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for with no surprises.
Store-bought termite products rarely eliminate entire colonies because they don’t reach the source of the problem. Termites live underground and can have colonies extending hundreds of feet from where you see activity. Professional treatments use specialized equipment to create complete barriers around your home and target the colony directly. DIY treatments often just push termites to other areas of your home, giving you a false sense of security while damage continues elsewhere. Professional treatment is more cost-effective in the long run because it actually solves the problem.
Annual termite inspections are recommended for most homes in New Jersey, especially if you’ve had previous termite activity or your home has conditions that attract termites. Homes with crawl spaces, previous moisture problems, or extensive landscaping near the foundation should be inspected annually. If you’ve never had a professional inspection, it’s worth having one done even if you don’t see obvious signs—termites can cause significant damage before homeowners notice any symptoms. Early detection saves thousands in repair costs and makes treatment much more straightforward.
