FAQ - Termites Control
Termites are wood-destroying insects. Their presence dates back to the dinosaurs. While they play an important role in nature, experts estimate they cause $5 billion of property damage each year
Termites range in size from one-eighth of an inch to one inch long. They can vary in shades of white, brown and black, depending on their type and age. Termites are sometimes confused with flying ants because both have wings and antennae.
Pest that stays behind the scenes, termites create significant damage to structures out of the public eye. Signs of a possible termite infestation include termite swarming (in spring), earthen mud tubes on foundation walls, support piers, and floor joists, and sawdust-like remnants near tiny holes in wood.
Yes, termites are sometimes known as white ants, although the term “termites” is more accurate. Our white ant treatment services are therefore exactly the same as our termite treatments.

A termite inspection involves a thorough, top-to-bottom examination of your home for signs of termite activity by one of our pestoman highly trained technicians. If we found evidence of termites and outlining we recommend treatment options.
Pre-treatment means treating the soil under the structure before cement floors are poured in place. This treatment would be a great benefit instead of drilling through concrete.
The method of treatment, amount and kind of pesticide used, and methods of application are the same for both pre-treatment and treatment, unless drilling would be needed.
This is a difficult question to answer.
