Our four-step termite control plan provides year-round protection for your home. Coverage for this plan includes subterranean termites.

1. free inspection of your home

The first step in your custom termite treatment plan is for our termite expert and certified Sentricon® specialist, will perform a thorough inspection of your home for termite activity. There is no charge for the inspection.

Primary items that will be checked during this inspection include:

  • basement and/or crawlspace
  • foundation and home perimeter
  • other common risk areas
  • any areas with suspected activity

2. develop custom treatment plan

Once the inspection is complete, we will prepare a custom treatment plan for your home. This treatment plan will be designed to target any existing termite issues, plus prevent future ones. proof. uses the most effective products to combat termites – the same products used at The White House, to be exact. We do this to ensure our customers receive the best protection from these destroying pests.

Your termite treatment plan will include:

  • A customized digital diagram showing the termite issues identified during the inspection
  • The steps we recommend to treat any existing issues and prevent recurring problems

3. active protection

To eliminate any existing termite colonies and protect your home from future termite infestations, a series of top-of-the-line Sentricon® bait stations with active bait are be placed around your home’s perimeter. These stations are strategically placed around your home to intercept foraging termites. The Sentricon® system begins working as soon as it’s put in the ground. When termites find the bait and take it back to the colony, it will spread throughout the colony’s population and eliminate them.
Simply put, the Sentricon® system uses termites’ very nature — their constant foraging in search of food — against them.

4. annual inspections

To maintain your home’s protection and make sure the treatment plan is working correctly, we will perform an annual inspection of both the interior and exterior of your home and adjust the treatment plan if necessary. The Sentricon® system kept up by a Certified Sentricon Specialist™, protects your home 24/7/365, year after year.
If you see termites or signs of activity at any time during the year, simply let us know and we will come out to inspect and treat!

what do i need to know about termites?

Termites can cause significant damage to your home over time if they are left unchecked. Termites eat the wood (or other cellulose material like paper, cardboard, etc.) of your home from the inside out. They are often hidden away behind walls and in dark areas. In fact, most termites don’t even have eyes because they don’t need them in the dark! This means homeowners often don’t notice termite activity until significant damage has occurred.

Termites avoid light since they can become dehydrated quickly and even die from exposure to the elements. Once they get close to the exterior of a section of wood, they stop eating and move on to eat the inside out of another section.

how much wood do termites eat?

The amount of wood consumed by termites depends on several factors such as the type of termite, the age of the colony, and the type and condition of the wood in your home. A large colony of subterranean termites can include millions of workers and eat hundreds of pounds of wood per year.

how much does termite damage cost?

According to the National Pest Management Association, every year the total cost of damage caused by termites in the United States is more than $5 billion (yes, with a “b”).

is my house at risk of termite infestation?

Most homes in the US are at some risk of infestation. There are several different kinds of termites in the United States. The most destructive by far are subterranean termites. These termites live in large colonies that can grow to include millions of workers and eat hundreds of pounds of wood each year. Most central and southern parts of the US are at risk of infestation from subterranean termites, as shown in the map below.

how do termites get into my house?

Subterranean termites can get into your home in two ways.

They enter your home:

  • Above ground, by flying into it: When a termite colony is mature, it will produce winged, reproductive male and female termites. When conditions are right, the reproductive termites will fly away to find other reproductive termites to mate with and set up new colonies. If your home is nearby, a mated pair of reproductive termites may come across it and decide it’s a great place to start their new termite colony. If you’re really unlucky, multiple pairs of reproductive termites will set up their colonies in and around your home!
  • Below ground, by tunneling up into it: Worker termites from existing colonies are constantly foraging to find new food sources. When they forage, they dig tunnels through the earth looking for sources of cellulose (wood). If they come across your home, they may decide it’s a great source of food for their colony. Soon after, the colony’s workers will start eating away at your home’s wood from the inside out!

what does termite damage look like?

There are several things you can look out for that indicate you have termites in your home. Upon discovering any of these signs, we recommend you give proof. pest control a call right away.

Signs of termite damage include:

  • Hollowed-out, muddy wood: Subterranean termites live in the soil and go back and forth from their home to the wood in your home as they eat. Damaged wood will have tunnels, holes, or chambers eaten out of it, and often have dried mud on it that the termites brought with them.
  • Mud tubes: Subterranean termites create telltale mud tubes to protect them as they go about eating your home’s wood. Common places to find mud termite tubes are around your home’s foundation, and on posts, pillars, or walls in your basement/crawlspace.
  • Piles of wings or winged termites: Winged termites are reproductive males and females that swarm to find mates and set up new colonies. Once they find an ideal spot for a new colony, they will shed their wings and take up residence in their new underground home. Finding piles of wings or of winged termites is a bad sign – it means you either have mature termite colonies in and around your home or that termites are looking to set up new colonies.
