About Subterranean Termites
​
Our Professional Termite Treatment: What’s Included​
​
​A comprehensive, 5-step defense system designed to eliminate colonies and protect your property for years to come.
​
Inspection & Reporting​​
Every successful treatment starts with a deep dive. Our expert team conducts a thorough property inspection to identify active galleries and potential entry points.
​
The Deliverable
​
You receive a detailed report outlining our findings, observations, and a comprehensive treatment strategy tailored to your home’s layout.
​
Perimeter Defense (Drilling & Injection)​
​
We create a high-tech "chemical zone" that termites cannot detect.
​
The Process
​
We drill small, discreet irrigation holes (1/2" to 5/8") into perimeter walls and adjacent pavement.
The Protection
​
We use the EPA-Approved Premise (Active Ingredient: Imidacloprid). This professional-grade termiticide is injected into irrigation holes drilled into the perimeter walls and the adjacent slab.
How it Works
​
Unlike older chemicals, termites cannot detect or avoid Premise. They pass through it, become "carriers," and transfer the Imidacloprid back to the rest of the colony, resulting in total elimination.
Professional Surface Restoration​​
​
We believe a treatment shouldn't leave a footprint. After the injection process, every drill hole is neatly sealed and plastered. We pride ourselves on leaving your property exactly as we found it.
Total Structure Coverage​:​
Termites are relentless, so our treatment is comprehensive.
-
Soil Treatment: Direct application to non-paved soil around your perimeter.
​

The 5-Year "Peace of Mind" Warranty​
​
We don’t just treat and disappear. Every full treatment includes a five-year warranty against reinfestation. Our Promise: In the rare event of new or renewed termite activity, we will provide remedial treatment at no additional charge.​
Don’t just take our word for it.
​
​Frequently Asked Questions
​
Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?​​
​
Yes. We use Premise, which is applied via deep-soil injection or behind walls. This keeps the product contained exactly where termites travel, with no airborne residue.
​
How long does the process take?​​
​
For most residential homes, the process usually takes 1 to 2 days.
Will the drilling damage the look of my home?​​
​
Not at all. We use precision bits, the irrigation holes are neatly drilled, and professionally patched.
What happens if I see termites after the treatment?​​
​
Our 5-Year Warranty has you covered. We provide no-charge remedial treatments if any new activity is detected
​
​
Pre-Construction Termite Treatment?
It’s a lot easier (and cheaper) to keep termites out of a house while it’s being built than it is to evict them once they’ve moved into the walls. Pre-construction termite treatment—often called "pretreat"—is the gold standard for long-term home protection.
​
Here is a brief breakdown of how it works and why it matters.​​ Unlike post-construction treatments (where you drill through finished floors), a pretreat happens in stages as the house is being framed and the foundation is poured. The goal is to create an uninterrupted chemical or physical barrier between the soil and the structure's wood.
​
The Key Methods
​
Soil Poisoning:
This is the most common approach. Before the concrete slab is poured, a liquid termiticide is applied to the soil. This creates a "dead zone" that termites cannot cross to reach the house.
​
Physical Barriers:
Some builders install stainless steel mesh or specialized plastic membranes around pipe penetrations and foundation joints. Termites are tiny, but they can't chew through steel!
​
Wood Treatment:
​Once the "skeleton" (framing) of the house is up, the wood can be sprayed with a borate solution. This makes the wood itself toxic to termites if they try to attack.
​​
Why Do It During Construction​
You can reach the soil directly under the center of the house. Once the concrete is poured, those areas are inaccessible without heavy machinery.
​
Cost-Effective:
​
It is significantly cheaper to spray open ground than it is to "trench and treat" a finished yard or drill through expensive tile and hardwood floors later.
​
Peace of Mind:
Many mortgage lenders and building codes actually require proof of termite pretreatment before they will clear a home for closing.
The Typical Timeline
​
-
Step 1: The ground is leveled, and plumbing is installed
.
-
Step 2: The "Termite Man" arrives to spray the soil and around the pipe "stubs."
​
-
Step 3: The slab is poured (usually within 24 hours to protect the chemical barrier from rain).
​
-
Step 4: A final "perimeter" spray is often done after the landscaping is finished.
​
Pro Tip: If you are building a home, make sure to keep your "Termite Certificate." You’ll need it if you ever decide to sell the house!
