Our Termite Treatment Process

When we begin our termite control process, it is important first to determine where the activity is. There are some common signs of termites you should always be aware of:

We use a termite baiting program to eradicate active termite colonies working inside your property. This method is low profile, less invasive, and more environmentally conscious than other options such as liquid treatments. Our team will install bait stations at termite hot spots around your home or business. Initially, we use a detection cartridge; if activity is detected, we then swap in a bait cartridge in its place. Termites will carry this back to their colony, exposing it to the termiticide in the bait. Our experts will visit each station at least once every three months to check for further activity.

In addition to our general treatment program, we also provide VA and FHA home inspections for wood-destroying insects. Contact our office to learn more.

What Are the Signs of a Termite Infestation?

Are you concerned about the possibility of termites invading your Michigan home? Recognizing the signs of a termite infestation early can save you time, money, and stress. At SureShot Pest Control, we understand the unique challenges homeowners face in Michigan, where the climate and environmental conditions can create favorable conditions for termite activity. Here are some key indicators to watch for:

Wood Damage: Termites feed on wood from the inside out, which can make it difficult to detect their presence until significant damage has occurred. Look for hollowed-out or damaged wood, particularly in areas that are dark, damp, or near the ground, such as basements, crawl spaces, and attics.

Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites, the most common type found in Michigan, build mud tubes to travel between their nests and food sources. These pencil-thin tubes may be found along exterior walls, foundation walls, or in crawl spaces. Breaking open these tubes and observing termite activity inside is a strong indicator of an infestation.

Swarmers: Termite swarmers are reproductive members of the colony that emerge in large numbers to establish new colonies. They are often mistaken for flying ants but can be distinguished by their straight antennae, uniform waist, and equal-sized wings. Finding discarded wings around windowsills, doors, or light fixtures is a clear sign that a termite colony is nearby.

Frass: Termite droppings, known as frass, resemble sawdust or tiny pellets and may accumulate near termite nesting sites or feeding areas. Keep an eye out for these small piles of waste material, especially in areas where wood and soil meet.

Sagging Floors or Ceilings: Advanced termite damage can compromise the structural integrity of your home, leading to sagging floors, ceilings, or warped walls. If you notice any unusual changes in the shape or stability of your home's interior, it could be a sign of a severe termite infestation.

If you suspect that your Michigan home may be infested with termites, don't hesitate to contact SureShot Pest Control for a thorough inspection. Our experienced technicians are trained to identify termite activity and provide customized treatment solutions to protect your home from further damage.
