Termite damage builds quietly for years before it's visible — our Lauderdale, MN inspectors know exactly where to look first. Homeowners insurance almost never covers termite damage, which makes early detection the only real financial protection you have.
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.
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.
Photos and moisture readings document structural damage so you know the scope before repairs start. Basement and crawl space access points get particular attention during inspection, since those areas often show early activity first.
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.
We inspect thoroughly, not just a visual walk-through — moisture readings catch what the eye misses.
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 Lauderdale and the surrounding Lauderdale, MN region, with priority given to active swarms, mud tubes, and closing deadlines. We factor in soil conditions and tree cover across Lauderdale 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.
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.
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. We can also advise on landscaping changes — mulch placement, irrigation adjustments — that reduce moisture conditions termites favor.
Swarmers are reproductive termites leaving a mature colony to start new ones — a swarm usually means an established colony nearby. We recommend a yearly check-in since soil grading and mulch buildup change year to year.
Whether it's mud tubes or a closing deadline, we can get an inspector out fast.
