Mud tubes on the foundation and frass near a window sill both mean the same thing: active feeding, and every week counts. Because termite damage typically isn't covered by standard insurance, catching it early is the only real safeguard.
Inspection documentation is formatted for lenders, not just a verbal summary of what was found.
We move fast on visible swarm or mud-tube reports, since waiting rarely shrinks the problem.
Foundation perimeter measurements set the price, given to you before treatment starts. Bait station monitoring logs are kept on file and available to you at any time, not just at the annual check-in.
Non-repellent liquid barriers, in-ground bait stations, moisture meters, and acoustic detection tools. We also carry backup moisture meters, since accurate readings separate a real diagnosis from a guess.
Worker termites carry the termiticide back to the colony, which is the point of a full perimeter trench.
Stations placed at intervals, checked on schedule to intercept colonies before they reach the structure.
Drywood activity doesn't touch soil, so treatment targets the specific members showing frass or kick-out holes.
Licensed documentation formatted to lender and closing timelines, delivered when your transaction needs it.
We assess joists, sill plates, and subfloor before connecting you with repair contractors. Moisture-prone crawl spaces are checked closely, since that's frequently where subterranean activity shows up before it's visible elsewhere.
New construction gets a termite barrier in place before the concrete goes down, not after. It's worth scheduling an annual re-inspection even after treatment, since grading changes can develop over time.
Tell us what you're seeing — mud tubes, swarmers, frass, damaged wood — so we send the right inspector and gear.
An inspector arrives with moisture meters and acoustic tools to confirm activity before recommending anything.
Full foundation and accessible wood get inspected, with findings documented in writing.
Every job closes with a documented warranty and, where relevant, a station-check calendar.
Found mud tubes behind our water heater during a routine check — caught it before it reached the framing.
Needed a WDO report fast for a closing deadline. Had it in my inbox the same day as the inspection.
Bait stations checked every quarter for two years straight. No surprises, no missed visits.
They found drywood termites in a rafter we'd never have checked ourselves. Saved us a much bigger repair.
Refinancing required a current WDO report and ours had expired. They got an inspector out within two days to meet the lender deadline.
Licensed inspectors cover Kellogg and the surrounding Kellogg, ID region, with priority given to active swarms, mud tubes, and closing deadlines. We factor in soil conditions and tree cover across Kellogg when scheduling routine versus priority inspections. Soil conditions shift termite activity year to year, which is part of why we adjust inspection focus based on recent regional weather patterns.
Subterranean colonies live in soil and travel via mud tubes; drywood colonies live entirely inside dry wood, no soil contact needed. If you're unsure whether you need prevention or active treatment, we'll help you figure out which situation actually applies.
Priced by linear foot of foundation and treatment type — we give an exact written quote after inspection, not a phone estimate.
A wood-destroying organism report is commonly required for financing, and we issue licensed reports formatted for that.
Modern termiticide treatment is built for long-term elimination, generally backed by a multi-year term.
DIY treatment often scatters the colony instead of killing it, making the eventual professional job harder. Simple changes to mulch depth or irrigation runoff near the foundation can meaningfully reduce future termite pressure.
Seeing a swarm is often the first visible sign a colony has matured enough to reproduce. It's also worth scheduling an annual re-inspection even after initial treatment, since new conducive conditions can develop.
A documented inspection today costs less than structural repair later.
