Mud tubes on the foundation and frass near a window sill both mean the same thing: active feeding, and every week counts. Homeowners insurance almost never covers termite damage, which makes early detection the only real financial protection you have.
Our inspectors carry state wood-destroying organism licensing and produce reports accepted for real estate closings.
We move fast on visible swarm or mud-tube reports, since waiting rarely shrinks the problem.
You'll see the full cost tied to actual foundation length, not a phone-quote guess. We maintain a running record of every station check, which we can share whenever you'd like to review it.
Non-repellent liquid barriers, in-ground bait stations, moisture meters, and acoustic detection tools. We cross-check readings with a second meter on any borderline case.
Liquid termiticide trenched along the full foundation perimeter, engineered for colony-level elimination through contact transfer.
Useful where trenching isn't practical — ongoing monitoring catches activity before it becomes structural.
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. 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. A yearly check-in catches soil grading or mulch buildup around a foundation before it becomes a new pathway.
Location and type of sign determine whether this is a subterranean or drywood dispatch.
An inspector arrives with moisture meters and acoustic tools to confirm activity before recommending anything.
You get a complete record, including photos of any mud tubes or damage found on-site.
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 Mounds View and the surrounding Mounds View, MN region, with priority given to active swarms, mud tubes, and closing deadlines. Older Mounds View 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. 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.
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.
Over-the-counter sprays usually repel locally rather than eliminate the colony, which can complicate professional treatment later. 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. 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.
