Warning Signs Termites Are Damaging Your Home
Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage annually across America, often working undetected until significant structural damage occurs. Most homeowners don't realize they have a termite problem until these wood-destroying insects have already compromised key structural elements.
Look for these telltale signs of termite activity in your home:
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Mud tubes along foundation walls or crawl spaces
- Discarded wings near windows or doors (especially in spring)
- Sagging floors or bubbling paint
- Tiny holes in drywall with surrounding dark spots
- Frass (termite droppings) resembling small wood pellets
- Doors or windows that suddenly stick
- Visible maze-like patterns in wooden structures
Many Missouri homes face higher termite pressure due to our region's soil conditions and seasonal swarms. When you notice even one of these warning signs, it's crucial to act quickly. Our licensed professionals use specialized inspection techniques to identify colonies before they can spread, applying targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony rather than just surface insects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your treatments family and pet-friendly?
Yes. All products are applied with precision by licensed professionals to target termites only — not people or pets.
Can I combine termite protection with other pest services?
Yes — many homeowners add our Preferred Choice Plan for total year-round protection against ants, spiders, and other common pests.
How long does a termite inspection take?
Most homes take 45–90 minutes, depending on size and foundation type. We inspect inside and out, including crawl spaces and wood-to-soil contact areas.
Is the guarantee transferable if I sell my home?
Yes. Our termite guarantee stays with the property, not the owner—so if you sell your home, the new homeowner automatically inherits the coverage.
Is this a one-time treatment or recurring service?
Our termite treatment is a one-time service designed for long-term protection. However, we also offer annual inspections and renewal options to maintain your warranty and ensure continued coverage.
What’s included in your lifetime guarantee?
The first five years of coverage are free, with annual or as-needed inspections and re-treatments if needed. After that, a small renewal fee keeps your warranty active for life.
When is the best time to schedule a termite treatment?
Most termite treatments are performed in the spring when termite activity increases, but we offer inspections and same-day bids for swarmer calls year-round.
