Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire property to identify active termite colonies and conditions that attract them. We check your foundation, crawl spaces, basement, and anywhere wood meets soil. You’ll get a detailed report with photos showing exactly what we found.

Next, we create a treatment plan specific to your property. This might include liquid treatments around your foundation, targeted applications to active areas, or baiting systems depending on your situation. We explain every step before we start.

Treatment day is straightforward. We apply professional-grade termiticides that eliminate existing colonies and create long-term protection. Most treatments are completed in one day with minimal disruption to your routine.

After treatment, we schedule follow-up inspections to ensure the termites are gone and your protection is holding. You’ll receive documentation for your records and warranty information covering our work.

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

Look for mud tubes along your foundation, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, or small piles of wood-colored droppings near wooden structures. You might also notice discarded wings near windows or doors during spring months when termites swarm. Sagging floors or doors that suddenly don’t close properly can indicate structural damage from long-term termite activity. Many Northwood homes have stone foundations that make detection tricky, so professional inspection is often the only way to catch problems early. If you’re seeing any of these signs, don’t wait – termites work 24/7 and damage adds up quickly.
Most termite treatments begin working within days, but complete colony elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks. Liquid treatments create immediate barriers that termites can’t cross, while baiting systems may take longer as termites carry the treatment back to their colonies. You won’t see instant results like you would with other pests because termites live underground and work hidden inside wood structures. We schedule follow-up inspections at 30 and 90 days to confirm the treatment is working and all termite activity has stopped. The timeline can vary based on colony size and environmental conditions, but you should see clear evidence of success within the first month.
Modern termite treatments are designed to target termites specifically while posing minimal risk to humans and pets when applied correctly. We use EPA-approved products and follow strict application guidelines to ensure safety. Most treatments are applied outside your home around the foundation or in areas where your family doesn’t spend time. Indoor treatments, when necessary, are applied in wall voids or other spaces away from living areas. We’ll discuss any specific precautions based on your family’s needs, including temporary relocation of pets during application if recommended. All products we use have extensive safety testing and are considered safe for residential use when applied by licensed professionals.
Termite treatment eliminates active infestations you already have, while prevention creates barriers to stop future infestations before they start. Treatment involves identifying and eliminating existing colonies using targeted applications to affected areas. Prevention typically involves applying protective barriers around your property’s perimeter and addressing conditions that attract termites. Many homeowners need both – treatment for current problems and prevention for long-term protection. In Northwood’s climate, prevention is especially important because our soil and weather conditions favor termite activity year-round. The best approach combines immediate treatment of any active issues with ongoing prevention to protect your investment long-term.
Termite treatment costs vary based on your property size, extent of infestation, and treatment method required. Most Northwood homes require treatment ranging from $800 to $2,500, with larger properties or extensive infestations costing more. Liquid treatments are typically less expensive upfront, while baiting systems may have higher initial costs but include ongoing monitoring. The key is getting an accurate assessment of your specific situation rather than estimates based on averages. We provide detailed written estimates after inspecting your property so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Remember that professional treatment costs far less than repairing structural damage from untreated termites, which can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars.
Yes, ongoing monitoring is essential for long-term termite protection, especially in areas like Northwood where termite pressure is constant. Initial treatment eliminates current infestations, but new colonies can establish from neighboring properties or untreated areas. Annual inspections help catch new activity before it becomes a major problem. Many treatment warranties require regular monitoring to remain valid. Monitoring typically involves checking bait stations, inspecting treatment areas, and looking for new signs of activity. The frequency depends on your property’s risk factors and the type of initial treatment. Most homeowners find that annual monitoring provides good protection and peace of mind, though some high-risk properties benefit from more frequent checks.
