What's the difference between termite swarmers and flying ants?

Termite swarmers have equal-length wings, a straight waist, and straight antennae. Flying ants have unequal wings, a pinched waist, and elbowed antennae. Finding swarmers indoors is a serious warning sign of an active colony.

How long does Termidor last?

Termidor SC applied as a liquid barrier has been proven effective for up to 10 years in real-world conditions. We back our Termidor treatments with a renewable 1-year warranty and annual inspection.

Is termite treatment safe for my family and pets?

Yes. Termidor is applied to soil around the exterior foundation and is not accessible to humans or pets once applied. Bait station systems are completely enclosed and child and pet safe.

Do I need to leave my home during termite treatment?

For liquid perimeter treatments and bait stations, no evacuation is required. For any localized injection work in living spaces, we may ask you to vacate for 4–6 hours. Full tent fumigation (for drywood termites) requires a 24–72 hour evacuation.

Termite Treatment

Protect your home's structure with proven termite solutions

Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage annually in the United States — more than fires and floods combined. Most homeowner insurance policies do not cover termite damage. Subterranean termites, the most destructive species, can destroy a floor joist in as few as 3 years of undetected activity. Early detection and treatment is critical.

Our Termite Treatment Treatment Methods

We select the most effective approach based on your specific infestation, property, and family situation.

Termidor Liquid Barrier

Industry's most effective liquid termiticide. Applied around the foundation perimeter, it creates a continuous treated zone that termites pass through and transfer to colony members. Up to 10-year effectiveness.

Sentricon Bait System

In-ground bait stations placed around your property contain cellulose bait that termites prefer over wood. Slow-acting active ingredient spreads through the colony, eliminating it completely.

Wood Treatment (Borate)

Boracare or Tim-bor applied directly to wood framing kills active termites and prevents future infestations. Ideal for new construction and exposed wood in crawlspaces.

Localized Treatment

For isolated infestations, direct foam or liquid injection into infested wood and galleries provides targeted elimination without full perimeter treatment.
