Termite Control FAQ

Do you do termite inspections for home sales?

Yes. We provide written wood-destroying organism reports for buyers, sellers and agents, usually within a few days of the request.

Which termite is more common here?

Dampwood termites show up wherever wood stays wet, like under leaky decks. Subterranean termites travel from the soil through mud tubes. We treat them differently.
