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.
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. We maintain a running record of every station check, which we can share whenever you'd like to review it.
Borate treatments and termiticide injection rods, not a surface spray that only repels rather than eliminates. 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.
We can turn around official wood-destroying organism reports fast for a closing deadline.
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.
Termiticide applied to soil and footings before slab pour, protecting new builds from day one. 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.
We serve Shelbina and nearby communities, moving fastest for active infestations and time-sensitive real estate inspections. Older Shelbina neighborhoods with mature tree cover tend to carry higher subterranean termite pressure, which shapes inspection priority. We also track regional soil moisture trends, since drought years and wet years both shift where subterranean colonies tend to concentrate.
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.
Cost depends on foundation size and whether it's liquid barrier or bait stations, quoted in writing after seeing the property.
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.
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.
