FAQ
How do I know if I have termites?
Common signs include mud tubes on foundations, discarded wings near windows and doors, hollow-sounding wood, and wood that crumbles easily. However, termites are often active for years before showing visible signs. That’s why regular professional inspections are crucial.
How long does termite treatment last?
Liquid barrier treatments typically provide protection for 5-10 years, while bait systems require ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Our annual inspection ensures your protection remains effective, and our warranty gives you peace of mind.
Is termite treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes, we use modern termite control products that target termites specifically while minimizing risk to people, pets, and the environment. We’ll provide specific safety instructions for your family during and after treatment.
Do I need termite protection if I've never had termites?
Absolutely. Unlike other pests that show obvious signs, termites often cause significant damage before homeowners even know they’re there. Preventative protection is far less expensive than repairing termite damage.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover termite damage?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies specifically exclude termite damage, considering it preventable with proper maintenance. Our Termite Defense System includes a warranty against new termite damage.
How often do I need termite inspections?
Warren County
Are the older homes in Warren County's historic areas more susceptible to termites?
Yes, older homes often have more entry points and may have sustained undetected damage over the years. Our thorough inspections are particularly important for Warren County’s historic homes, where we look for hidden termite activity in basements, crawl spaces, and original wood structures.
How do termites affect log homes common in rural Warren County?
Log homes require specialized termite protection strategies. Our termite specialists have experience with the unique challenges of protecting log structures and can develop custom protection plans for these distinctive homes.
Hunterdon County
How do the agricultural areas in Hunterdon County affect termite activity?
Properties adjacent to agricultural fields often experience higher termite pressure due to the abundance of wood debris and moisture. Our Termite Defense System includes expanded monitoring for these high-risk properties.
Do Hunterdon County's soil conditions affect termite treatment methods?
Yes, the varied soil types in Hunterdon County can influence treatment efficacy. Our technicians are trained to adjust treatment methods based on local soil conditions, ensuring optimal protection regardless of your property’s specific location.
Morris County
Are new construction homes in Morris County's developing areas protected against termites?
While new homes may have pre-construction treatments, these often have limited lifespans. Our Termite Defense System provides ongoing protection as these initial treatments begin to degrade, typically around 5-7 years after construction.
How do Morris County's wet springs affect termite activity?
The moisture from springtime rainfall creates ideal conditions for termite swarming and new colony formation. Our spring inspections are particularly important in Morris County to detect these seasonal swarms before they establish in your home.
Morris County
Somerset County
How do Somerset County's many waterways affect termite pressure?
Do Somerset County's newer developments still need termite protection?
Absolutely. While newer homes may have had pre-construction treatments, these typically protect for only 5-7 years. Additionally, the disturbed soil from recent construction often creates ideal conditions for termite colony establishment.
