When it comes to termite damage, the worst infestations are often the ones you don’t see—until it’s too late. At STL Pest Control, we’ve been helping St. Louis homeowners since 1989 protect their most valuable investment: their home. And one thing we know for sure? Routine termite inspections and baiting systems are game-changers.
Why Termites Are a Big Deal in St. Louis
St. Louis is a hot spot for subterranean termites, the most destructive species in the U.S. These pests work 24/7, silently chewing through wood, drywall, and even flooring—causing thousands in repairs before you spot a single sign.
What attracts termites to homes in St. Louis?
-
Moisture: Damp basements and leaky plumbing are termite magnets.
-
Wood-to-soil contact: Deck posts, fence lines, and crawlspaces are easy access points.
-
Unseen entry: They sneak in through foundation cracks and expansion joints.
The Power of Routine Termite Inspections
Think of a termite inspection like a wellness check for your house. Catching a problem early makes all the difference.
What we look for:
-
Mud tubes on walls or foundations
-
Damaged or hollow-sounding wood
-
Discarded wings or live swarmers
-
Moisture levels and entry points
🔍 At STL Pest Control, our certified technicians are trained to spot the subtle signs most homeowners miss—so you don’t end up footing a huge repair bill down the line.
Why Baiting Systems Are a Smart Long-Term Solution
A termite baiting system doesn’t just stop termites—it wipes out the whole colony. Here’s how it works:
-
We install bait stations around the perimeter of your home.
-
Termites find the bait and carry it back to their colony.
-
The bait eliminates the colony at its source—preventing future infestations.
✅ Baiting is low-maintenance, non-intrusive, and extremely effective.
✅ It’s safe for pets, kids, and your landscaping.
✅ We monitor it regularly to make sure you stay protected.
