Termites Cause $5 Billion in Damage Annually. Don't Let Your Home Be Part of That Statistic.
Termites eat wood 24/7, silently destroying your home's structure. By the time you see damage, they've been feeding for months—or years. Protect your biggest investment with professional termite inspection and treatment.
Warning Signs You Have Termites
Termites work silently, but they leave clues. If you see any of these signs, call for an inspection immediately.
Hollow-Sounding Wood
Tap on wooden beams, floors, or walls. If it sounds hollow or papery, termites may have eaten the wood from the inside out.
Discarded Wings
Small piles of wings near windows or doors. Termite swarmers shed their wings after finding a place to start a new colony.
Mud Tubes
Pencil-thick mud tunnels on foundation walls or wood. Termites build these to travel from soil to wood while staying protected.
Tight-Fitting Doors or Windows
Warped doors and windows that suddenly don't close right. Termite damage or moisture from termite activity causes wood to warp.
Cracked or Bubbling Paint
Paint that looks like water damage but there's no leak. Termites feeding beneath the surface cause paint to bubble or crack.
Frass (Termite Droppings)
Small piles of wood-colored pellets near wood. Drywood termites push their droppings out of the wood they're eating.
The Real Cost of Waiting
Early Detection & Treatment
$500-$1,500Catch termites early with a professional inspection. Treatment is straightforward when damage is minimal. Your home's structure stays intact.
Structural Repairs After Delay
$3,000-$8,000+Wait too long and termites eat through beams, joists, and framing. Repairs require contractors, permits, and major disruption. Insurance rarely covers termite damage.
The longer you wait, the more expensive it gets. The choice is clear.

Termite Treatment Options
Liquid Barrier Treatment
Professional-grade termiticide creates a protective barrier around your home's foundation. Termites can't cross it—and it lasts for years.
- Immediate protection
- Eliminates existing colonies
- Long-lasting barrier (5+ years)
- Most effective for subterranean termites
Bait Station System
Strategically placed bait stations around your property. Termites feed on bait, share it with colony, entire colony eliminated.
- Less invasive installation
- Monitors ongoing termite activity
- Eliminates entire colonies
- Good for homes with wells or septic
Pre-Treatment for New Construction
Building new? Treat the soil before foundation is poured. This is your best—and cheapest—defense against future termite problems.
- Applied before concrete slab
- Creates permanent barrier
- Most cost-effective prevention
- Required by some lenders
Spot Treatment
Localized treatment for small areas of activity or drywood termites. Targeted application where termites are active.
- For isolated infestations
- Drywood termite treatment
- Less invasive than full treatment

Termite Service Questions
How much does a termite inspection cost?
I provide free termite inspections for homeowners. If you're buying or selling a home and need a detailed inspection report for closing, there may be a fee depending on the scope. Call me at (765) 573-4134 and I'll give you exact pricing based on your situation.
How long does a termite inspection take?
A thorough inspection typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the size of your home and accessibility of crawl spaces, attics, and foundation areas. I inspect everything—interior, exterior, foundation, wooden structures, and potential entry points.
How quickly can you treat if you find termites?
If I find termite activity during inspection, I can usually schedule treatment within a few days. For urgent situations—like real estate closings or active swarms—I'll prioritize your service. When you call, you're talking to me directly, so we can coordinate fast.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
For liquid barrier treatments, you can typically stay in your home. Most treatments are applied to the exterior foundation and soil. For interior treatments or fumigation (rare), I'll give you specific instructions. Safety is always the top priority.
Does homeowners insurance cover termite damage?
Unfortunately, most homeowners insurance policies do NOT cover termite damage. Insurers consider termites a preventable problem. That's why early detection and treatment is so important—waiting makes it your expense, not theirs.
How often should I have a termite inspection?
I recommend annual termite inspections for Indiana homes, especially homes with previous termite activity, wooden decks, or crawl spaces. Annual inspections catch problems early when treatment is cheapest and damage is minimal.
