“We found subterranean termites in the crawl space during a renovation and needed a fast solution. David was there the next morning, treated the entire perimeter, and coordinated directly with our contractor so work didn't stop. The follow-up inspection came back clear.”

Our Termite Control Services for The Heights
From inspection through long-term monitoring — comprehensive termite solutions for historic Heights homes.
WDO Inspection
Licensed wood-destroying organism inspection with a detailed written report. The $175 inspection fee is credited in full toward any treatment you book.
Liquid Termite Barrier
Continuous termiticide barrier applied along the foundation perimeter — critical for pier-and-beam homes where soil contact with wood creates direct subterranean access.
Drywood Spot Treatment
Targeted foam or liquid injection into active drywood termite galleries in attic framing, wall voids, and window or door framing — no full fumigation required for localized colonies.
Sentricon Monitoring System
In-ground bait stations around the perimeter intercept subterranean foragers before they reach the structure and eliminate the colony at the source.
Annual Re-Inspection
Yearly inspection to confirm treatment effectiveness and catch new activity early — essential for homes with old-growth lumber and pier-and-beam construction.
Pre-Closing Treatment Letters
Fast turnaround on treatment documentation for real estate transactions — The Heights' high sale volume means we handle these routinely and efficiently.

Case Study
The Heights: Dual Termite Infestation Resolved Before Renovation Completion
The Problem
A Heights homeowner restoring a 1911 Victorian discovered both active subterranean mud tubes on the rear pier posts and drywood termite frass in the attic above the master bedroom. With interior drywall about to go up, the contractor needed clearance before the framing was enclosed.
Our Solution
David performed a full inspection covering the crawl space, attic, and perimeter. He applied a liquid termiticide barrier around the full foundation perimeter and treated the active drywood galleries in the attic framing with targeted foam injection. Both treatments were completed in one day, coordinated around the contractor's schedule.
The Outcome
A 30-day re-inspection showed no new subterranean activity and confirmed the drywood galleries were inactive. The contractor enclosed the framing on schedule and the homeowner enrolled in annual monitoring. The renovation completed on time with no further termite delays.
Termite Control FAQs for The Heights
Why do Heights homes face both drywood and subterranean termite risk?
Subterranean termites exploit the soil-contact access that pier-and-beam foundations provide — mud tubes appear on pier posts and floor joists. Drywood termites infest old-growth attic lumber and framing through small entry points in rooflines and soffits. Heights homes built before 1930 frequently face both simultaneously.
How often should a Heights home be inspected for termites?
We recommend annual inspections for all Heights properties. Homes with pier-and-beam foundations, prior termite history, or active monitoring systems should never go more than 12 months between inspections given the consistent termite pressure in this neighborhood.
Can termite treatment happen while my home renovation is in progress?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with renovation contractors on Heights properties. We schedule treatments to align with framing exposure windows, apply treatments to open crawl spaces and attic framing before drywall goes up, and provide clearance documentation for contractors when needed.
Will the liquid barrier treatment damage my historic foundation or landscaping?
No. Liquid termiticide is injected into the soil adjacent to the foundation using a narrow rod — there is minimal soil disturbance and no damage to foundation materials. We work carefully around garden beds and established plantings.
Do I need a WDO inspection to sell my Heights home?
Most buyers' lenders require a current WDO report before funding. Our $175 inspection fee is credited toward any treatment, and we provide fast turnaround on the inspection report and treatment letter — keeping The Heights' active real estate transactions on schedule.
How long does termite treatment take on a Heights bungalow?
A standard liquid barrier application for a typical Heights pier-and-beam bungalow takes 3-5 hours. Drywood spot treatment adds 1-2 hours depending on the number of active galleries. We work efficiently to fit around renovation and family schedules.
