Termite Control & Inspection Services
Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage across the US every year — and most homeowners never see them coming. Protect your Newport News home with professional termite inspection and treatment.
What to Look For
Signs You May Have Termites
Mud Tubes
Pencil-width mud tunnels along your foundation, walls, or crawlspace — the termites' highways between soil and wood.
Hollow-Sounding Wood
Tap on wood beams, floors, or walls. A hollow sound suggests termites have eaten through from the inside out.
Discarded Wings
Piles of small, identical wings near windows or doors after a swarm — a sure sign of termite activity nearby.
Frass (Droppings)
Small pellets that look like sawdust or coffee grounds near wood — drywood termite droppings left behind as they tunnel.
Bubbling or Warped Paint
Moisture from termite activity can cause paint to bubble or wood to warp, mimicking water damage.
Tight-Fitting Doors & Windows
Termite damage and the moisture they create can cause door frames and window frames to swell and stick.
Our Process
How We Treat Termites
Full Property Inspection
We inspect your foundation, crawlspace, attic, and all wood-to-soil contact points to identify termite species, activity level, and entry points.
Liquid Soil Treatment
We apply termiticide to the soil around your foundation creating a continuous chemical barrier. Termites pass through it, die, and transfer it to others in the colony.
Bait Station Program
Strategically placed bait stations around your property attract termites, which carry slow-acting bait back to the colony — eliminating the entire colony over time.
Prevention & Monitoring
We identify and recommend fixing conditions that attract termites: wood-to-soil contact, moisture issues, and ventilation problems that make your home a target.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Termite swarmers have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and a straight waist. Flying ants have bent antennae, unequal wings, and a pinched waist. Mud tubes are exclusively a termite sign. If you're unsure, call us — we'll identify them for free.
A liquid soil treatment takes 1–2 hours for most homes. Bait station installation is faster. Both methods begin working immediately, but complete colony elimination may take weeks to months depending on colony size.
For liquid soil treatments applied to the exterior perimeter, no evacuation is needed. If interior drilling is required for severe infestations, we'll advise on a brief exit period.
Annual termite inspections are strongly recommended for all Hampton Roads homeowners. Virginia's warm, humid climate makes termites a year-round threat, not just a seasonal one.
