A termite inspection is recommended in several situations. It's often required when buying or selling a home, as lenders and insurance companies may request proof of a recent inspection. Even if you're not in the process of buying or selling, it's a good decision to get an inspection if you notice signs of termites, such as mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, or frass. Regular inspections—typically once a year—can help catch an infestation early before it causes significant damage.

The cost of termite treatment depends on factors like infestation severity, termite type, and whether you need treatment, prevention, or ongoing protection. At Terminix, we offer flexible payment options to help make termite protection more affordable. You can choose monthly or annual payment plans, and for larger treatments, financing options may be available to fit your budget. Our expert termite exterminators customize solutions to fit your home and budget.

While DIY termite treatments are available, they are generally not effective. Termites are persistent and can be challenging to eliminate without professional help. A professional termite exterminator can assess the extent of the infestation and provide a more thorough and long-lasting solution.

Termites can cause significant damage to your home before you even notice their presence. Taking proactive steps to prevent infestations and recognizing the early warning signs can help minimize costly repairs. Here are a few basic preventive measures and early detection tips:

• Reduce moisture: Fix leaks, improve drainage, and keep wood from direct contact with soil to help deter termites.
• Store wood properly: Keep firewood, lumber, and mulch away from your home's foundation.
• Use treated wood: When building or renovating, use termite-resistant or pressure-treated wood.
• Maintain landscaping: Keep bushes, trees, and mulch away from your home to help reduce termite sheltering spots and make it easier to spot mud tubes or structural damage caused by termites.
