Every day termites go undetected, the damage compounds
Structural damage
Termites eat wood from the inside out — destroying wall studs, floor joists, and support beams while the surface looks completely normal. By the time you see it, the damage is severe.
Expensive repairs
The average termite damage repair costs $3,000–$8,000. Many homeowner insurance policies don’t cover termite damage at all. Early detection is the only way to avoid these costs.
Home value impact
Active or past termite infestations must be disclosed when selling. An untreated infestation can reduce your home’s value and derail a real estate transaction entirely.
Silent growth
A mature termite colony contains hundreds of thousands of workers eating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no warning sounds, no visible damage until it’s too late.
Our proven termite elimination process
We don’t just treat the surface. Our approach eliminates the entire colony and protects your home year-round.
Detailed inspection
Our state-certified technicians inspect your entire property — inside, outside, crawl spaces, and foundations — identifying active termites, shelter tubes, prior damage, and all high-risk zones. You’ll know exactly what we find.
Custom treatment plan
We recommend the Sentricon® bait system to eliminate active colonies, or preventative station installation if no termites are found yet. Every recommendation is based on your specific inspection findings — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sentricon® installation
We install tamper-resistant Sentricon® stations in the soil around your home’s perimeter. Worker termites feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony — eliminating the queen and collapsing the entire colony from within.
Ongoing monitoring
Sentricon® stations remain active in the ground 24 hours a day, continuously protecting against future colony attacks. Our technicians check every station during scheduled visits and provide you a written report each time.
Real estate inspections (when needed)
Buying, selling, or refinancing? We perform the official NPMA-33 Wood Destroying Insect Inspection accepted by all Kansas City area lenders and title companies — with fast turnaround and a full written report.
Sentricon® bait system vs. liquid chemical barrier
The most common question we hear. Here’s an honest side-by-side comparison so you understand exactly what we recommend and why.
Sentricon® bait system
Targets and eliminates the entire colony underground.
Liquid chemical barrier
Creates a chemical zone around the foundation to repel termites.
8 warning signs of a termite infestation
Termites are silent destroyers. These are the clues that give them away — tap any you’ve spotted in your home.
1. Hollow or damaged wood
Wood sounds hollow when tapped, or a screwdriver easily penetrates the surface. Termites eat from the inside out, leaving the surface intact until there’s nothing left behind it.
2. Mud tubes on walls
Pencil-width mud tubes on exterior walls or your foundation. These are the highways termites build to travel between their colony and your home. One of the clearest signs of active infestation.
3. Termite swarms
Winged termites appearing in spring or fall — especially after rain. A swarm means an active colony is very nearby. This is the most urgent sign. Call us the same day.
4. Termite droppings (frass)
Sawdust-like pellets near wood surfaces, baseboards, or walls. These small dark pellets near exit holes are a clear indicator of drywood termite activity.
5. Stuck windows or doors
Frames that suddenly become hard to open may signal structural wood damage from termite activity warping and weakening the surrounding wood frame.
6. Clicking sounds in walls
Soldier termites bang their heads against the wood to signal danger to the colony. You may hear a faint clicking or tapping sound coming from inside your walls at night.
7. Bubbling paint or wallpaper
Discoloration or bubbling that looks like water damage but isn’t. The cause is termite activity and moisture buildup between the wall surface and the wood behind it.
8. Soft or spongy wood
Wood that feels brittle or gives way under light pressure from a knife or screwdriver. A strong indicator that termites have been eating through the structure beneath the surface.
