Termites
Reticulitermes flavipes
How to Identify
– Look for mud tubes on foundation walls.
– See soft or hollow wood when tapped.
– Find discarded wings near windows or lights.
– Notice damp crawl spaces and unexplained wood damage.
Health Risks
No direct human health risk; causes severe structural damage to framing, siding, and joists — estimated $5B+ in annual US losses.
They don’t bite people. They eat wood and cause costly home damage.
Our Treatment Method
Perimeter liquid barrier or in-ground bait-station system; annual monitoring and re-inspection by licensed pest professional.
We use bait stations and liquid barriers around foundations. We inspect crawl spaces at barns and old homes.
Prevention Tips
– Keep firewood and lumber piles at least 20 feet from the foundation and off the ground.
– Fix leaky faucets, gutters, and downspouts — termites require constant moisture.
– Eliminate wood-to-soil contact on decks, fence posts, and siding.
– Remove excess mulch, leaf litter, and cellulose debris from foundation beds.
– Schedule a professional inspection every 1–2 years, especially for homes over 10 years old.
– Keep firewood off the ground and away from homes.
– Fix gutter leaks and poor yard drainage fast.
– Remove mulch and debris from foundation beds.
– Inspect basements and crawl spaces every one to two years.
– Call us for an annual termite warranty check.
