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.
Our inspectors carry state wood-destroying organism licensing and produce reports accepted for real estate closings.
Swarms and mud tubes jump the queue — active colonies cause damage every day they're left untreated.
You'll see the full cost tied to actual foundation length, not a phone-quote guess. Bait station monitoring logs are kept on file and available to you at any time, not just at the annual check-in.
Borate treatments and termiticide injection rods, not a surface spray that only repels rather than eliminates. 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.
Treatment is scheduled with a written warranty term, plus a monitoring schedule if bait stations go in.
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 Burgin and the surrounding Burgin, KY region, with priority given to active swarms, mud tubes, and closing deadlines. Older Burgin neighborhoods with mature tree cover tend to carry higher subterranean termite pressure, which shapes inspection priority. Soil conditions shift termite activity year to year, which is part of why we adjust inspection focus based on recent regional weather patterns.
One needs ground moisture and builds visible tubes, the other nests directly inside the wood itself. We're glad to walk through the difference between preventive and curative treatment options during the initial inspection call.
Priced by linear foot of foundation and treatment type — we give an exact written quote after inspection, not a phone estimate.
Most lenders require a current WDO report — we can turn documentation around fast to meet a closing deadline.
Non-repellent barriers typically carry a multi-year warranty, with annual re-inspection recommended.
DIY treatment often scatters the colony instead of killing it, making the eventual professional job harder. We can also advise on landscaping changes — mulch placement, irrigation adjustments — that reduce moisture conditions termites favor.
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.
Whether it's mud tubes or a closing deadline, we can get an inspector out fast.
