- Swarming Termites or Discarded Wings: Often found near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures, especially in the spring.
- Hollow-Sounding Wood: Floorboards, walls, or structural beams that sound hollow when tapped.

Preferred Baiting Solution: Installing bait and monitoring stations around the exterior of the structure to provide termite protection. Certain conditions may require additional interior bait stations. If necessary, liquid termiticide treatments will be used at infestation sites.
Limited Liquid Solution: This treatment method is designed to create a protective treated zone between termites and the wood of the structure. It begins by applying a standalone, non-repellent liquid termiticide to the exterior of the structure for protection. This treatment involves trenching and rodding the soil along the foundation wall on the exterior of the structure. Followed by drilling and treating underneath concrete slabs and porches around the structure.
Preventative Baiting Solution: Installing bait and monitoring stations around the exterior of the structure will provide subterranean termite protection. We may also require the use of liquid termiticide treatments where necessary, such as sites near the infestation.
Home Treatment & Termite Protection
Pest Solutions proudly uses the proven effective method of termite treatment available to date, Sentricon. This method differs from traditional liquid methods by using bait to eliminate the entire colony. Sentricon is a service designed to scientifically eliminate an entire subterranean termite colony, including its queen. While liquid solutions protect from food foragers, they do not protect the entire colony and can become ineffective over time.
With Sentricon, treatment does not diminish or degrade over time. It visibly produces evidence that our termite treatment is working with in-ground stations placed around your home.
