What is termite control?
A plain-English overview of what's included and how it works.
Termite control eliminates active subterranean or drywood infestations and prevents future colonies from establishing. We use Sentricon® bait systems, non-repellent liquid barriers (Termidor®), or full-structure fumigation depending on species, structure, and severity — every treatment backed by a transferable warranty.

Termites
Termites cause an estimated $5 billion in structural damage in the US each year. Colonies feed 24/7 on cellulose, often unnoticed until damage is severe.
Subterranean Termites
The most destructive termite in the US. Nests underground and travels through mud tubes to reach wood above ground.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites live entirely inside the wood they eat and don't need soil contact. Common in coastal states and often treated with fumigation.
