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.
Inspection documentation is formatted for lenders, not just a verbal summary of what was found.
Swarms and mud tubes jump the queue — active colonies cause damage every day they're left untreated.
Foundation perimeter measurements set the price, given to you before treatment starts. 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 also carry backup moisture meters, since accurate readings separate a real diagnosis from a guess.
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.
We assess joists, sill plates, and subfloor before connecting you with repair contractors. Basement and crawl space access points get particular attention during inspection, since those areas often show early activity first.
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.
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 Mars and the surrounding Mars, PA region, with priority given to active swarms, mud tubes, and closing deadlines. We factor in soil conditions and tree cover across Mars 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. 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.
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.
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.
A documented inspection today costs less than structural repair later.
