Here are brief answers to the questions we hear most often. Click through to the relevant FAQ section for more detail.
How do I know if I have termites?
Common signs include discarded wings near windows, mud tubes along foundations, hollow-sounding wood, and small pellet droppings. A professional inspection provides definitive answers. Our General Termite FAQ covers identification in detail.
How much does termite treatment cost?
Treatment costs vary based on infestation size, treatment method, and home size. Spot treatments may cost a few hundred dollars while whole-house fumigation can reach several thousand. Our Treatment FAQ explains pricing factors.
Do I have to leave my home during treatment?
For traditional fumigation, yes. You must vacate for two to three days. Tentless treatments often allow you to stay home or return the same day. Our Tenting vs Tentless FAQ compares the convenience factors.
Will termites come back after treatment?
Properly executed treatments eliminate existing colonies. However, new termites can reinfest over time if conditions remain favorable. Warranties and preventative measures help protect against recurrence.
