Termites are a type of social insect that live together in large colonies. Subterranean termites are the most widespread species living across the country. These termites prefer to nest under the ground in damp soil. Subterranean termites are well-known for using trees and wooden structures as a food source, preferring wet or decaying wood. Out in nature, they are helpful recyclers; in our homes, they are destructive pests.
Each year across the country, termites are responsible for causing more than five billion dollars in damage. While subterranean termites nest outside, they frequently find their way inside our homes through tiny cracks they come across or pieces of wood making contact with the ground. Once inside, they will move to high-humidity areas and infest water-damaged pieces of structural timber. Leaky pipes, roof damage, and poor ventilation can result in a termite infestation.
Termite Control Process
Tailored Pest Control has been treating for termites for almost 10 years. We’re termite experts and have a comprehensive process for finding, eliminating, and preventing termite infestations.
01
Inspection
Our first step in the pest control process is to visit your home to talk with you about what you’ve seen for pest activity around your property and to find out what you want to gain from our services. We’ll then inspect inside and outside your house to pinpoint any infestation, entry points, conducive conditions, and other potential issues. We’ll recommend a treatment plan based on our findings.
02
Treatment
Our treatments are designed to get rid of the pests that are already active in your house, but that’s not our final goal. We also provide the services necessary to protect your house from new pest problems. Depending on the pest control plan you choose for your property, we’ll provide interior and exterior treatments to get and keep your house fully pest-free.
03
Follow-Up
All of our pest-free bundle plans include 12 yearly service visits. We’ll come to your home each month to re-treat it and make sure it is fully protected from pests. If you choose one of our other pest control plans, you may receive bi-monthly services. Each of our plans also includes free re-services between scheduled visits if pests show up unexpectedly.
