Termite Inspection & Control

Termites eat wood, and can consequently cause great structural damage to your home if left unchecked. A typical homeowner's insurance policy does not cover destruction caused by termites, even though they cause over 1 billion dollars in damage to homes throughout the United States each year. Our inspection and treatment program can help you understand the threat of termites, and take the necessary steps to protect your home.

Termites are a fact of life in the south.

They cause millions of dollars in damage to structures each year, primarily residences. No structure, not even brick or concrete slab construction, is immune to their insidious appetite. Yet termite infestation is often difficult to detect.

The first visible sign of termites may be a “swarm” appearing in the spring. If so, then it may only be the tip of the iceberg. Worker termites are active 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, foraging for new food sources (wood) and gathering food to nourish the rest of the termite colony: queens, soldiers, reproductives and young.

Are they ants or termites?

For clues to help distinguish termites from ants, examine the insects’ wings, waist and antennae. While both insects have two pairs of wings, termite wings are relatively equal in size. Ant wings tend to be longer in front and shorter in back.

Ants also have a narrow, pinched waist, with three separate body parts. Termites’ waists are thicker and less distinct. In addition, ants’ antennae are elbowed, while termites’ are straight.

Worker termites are soft and milky in color. They require a constant source of moisture to prevent dehydration. They travel through mud tubes that they build for protection from air and sunlight. Because they forage constantly for food, they often enter your home unseen and cause damage behind your walls.

Will Termidor have or leave an odor?

No, Termidor is an odor-free method of termite control.

What makes Termidor different from other termite control options, such as bait systems?

Termidor utilizes a unique action known as the “Transfer Effect” to effectively eliminate termite populations up to six times faster than bait systems. And, unlike older liquids, Termidor does not repel termites, termites can’t smell, see or feel the insecticide, so they crawl freely through treated areas. When a termite eats or even comes in contact with the insecticide, it unknowingly transfers Termidor back to the colony on its body. Every termite it contacts will transfer Termidor to other termites.

Termidor is the most effective and fastest at completely eliminating termite populations up to six times faster than bait/ monitoring systems. Baits can take from many months to several years to control a colony. That’s because many bait systems work by recruitment, in which termites must first discover a bait station and then recruit sufficient colony members to it as well.

Only then is the termite control product added to the station. Plus, there’s no guarantee termites heading for or already in your home will find the bait stations at all. Termidor starts working immediately.

Is it environmentally responsible?

Termidor is one of the most thoroughly reviewed termite control products in history. Termidor is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency and can only be applied by a pest control professional who has been trained in correct application methods. Termidor is incredibly effective even at low application rates. For an average home treatment, only about 8 ounces of the active ingredient (fipronil) is actually used. Termidor bonds to the soil in which it is applied, so homeowners need not worry about soil movement. In addition, Termidor’s active ingredient, fipronil, is used extensively on food crops around the world and as the leading product for flea and tick control on dogs and cats since 1995.
