Key Warning Signs of Termite Activity

Termites are notoriously difficult to detect, as they consume wood from the inside out. However, there are several subtle but critical signs a homeowner can look for. Recognizing these warning signs early and calling for a professional inspection is the key to preventing extensive and costly damage to your property.

• Mud Tubes on Foundations: Subterranean termites build pencil-sized mud tubes on foundation walls, support piers, or floor joists. These tubes protect them from other pests as they travel from their soil colony to the wood in your home.
• Termite Swarmers or Discarded Wings: In the spring or fall, you may see flying termites, known as swarmers. You might also find their discarded wings on windowsills or in spider webs. This is a definitive sign of a mature, nearby colony.
• Damaged or Hollow-Sounding Wood: Tap on wood trim, baseboards, or exposed beams. If the wood sounds hollow or papery, it may indicate that termites have consumed it from the inside, leaving only a thin outer layer of paint or wood.
• Bubbling or Peeling Paint: Unexplained blistering, peeling, or uneven paint can sometimes indicate moisture buildup behind the wall caused by termite activity and damage. It can often resemble subtle water damage but has no other apparent cause.
• Sticking Windows or Doors: As termites tunnel through and damage wooden window and door frames, the resulting warping can make them difficult to open or close properly. This is a subtle sign that the structural integrity is compromised.

If you notice any of these signs, no matter how small, do not hesitate. Immediate action is crucial, as a mature termite colony can silently feed on your home 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our Termite Treatment and Protection Systems

At Parkway Pest Services, we understand that every home and infestation is unique. That’s why our entomologists have developed a comprehensive termite control strategy that utilizes the industry’s most advanced and effective technologies. Our certified specialists will recommend the best solution to eliminate the current colony and protect your property for years to come.

• Detailed Termite Inspection: Our process always begins with a meticulous inspection of your entire property. A certified specialist will examine your home from the foundation to the attic, using specialized tools to identify signs of termite activity, locate entry points, and assess any existing damage.
• Advanced Liquid Treatments: We can apply a continuous, non-repellent liquid barrier to the soil around and under your home's foundation. Termites cannot detect this product, and as they tunnel through the treated zone, they unknowingly carry it back to the colony, leading to total elimination.
• The Sentricon® System: As Certified Sentricon Specialists™, we proudly offer the Sentricon® system with Always Active™ technology, a revolutionary baiting system that eliminates entire termite colonies. Strategically placed bait stations are installed around your home, and foraging termites share the bait, effectively destroying the colony, including the queen.
• Ongoing Monitoring and Protection: The Sentricon® system acts as a permanent security system around your home. We provide continuous monitoring of the stations, ensuring that your home is protected from future termite invasions long after the initial problem is resolved.
• Wood-Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR): We are licensed to provide official WDIR documentation for real estate transactions, ensuring that a home is structurally sound and free from wood-destroying pests before a sale is finalized.

Our team is committed to providing the ultimate defense for your home. We will walk you through the best options for your situation, ensuring you understand the process and feel confident in the long-term protection of your investment.

Why Professional Termite Control is Non-Negotiable

Termite control is not a DIY project. The products and systems required to eliminate a colony are not available to the public and require a state license to apply. Professionals use specialized equipment to ensure the treatment is applied correctly and effectively, reaching hidden areas where termites thrive and breed.

A termite colony can extend deep into the ground and have multiple hidden entry points into your home. A trained inspector knows exactly where to look for this covert activity. Without this expertise, you risk missing the core infestation, which allows the silent destruction of your property to continue.

Professional termite treatments often come with a service agreement or warranty. This provides invaluable peace of mind, ensuring that if termites return within the specified period, the company will retreat the property. This level of financial assurance is impossible to achieve with store-bought products.
