What to expect
A termite process built around clear findings
We inspect common entry points and risk areas, explain what we found, and recommend the option that fits the structure.
Inspect
We check the exterior, foundation, basement or crawlspace, structural wood, and other accessible risk areas.
Explain the findings
We show you visible evidence, contributing conditions, and areas that require attention.
Choose the treatment
The plan may use a liquid termite treatment or Trelona bait monitoring based on the property.
Plan follow-up
We explain service intervals, what to watch for, and practical ways to reduce future risk.
Treatment options
Two effective options. One clear plan.
Choose from Trelona® bait termite monitoring or liquid termite treatments, based on your home, your property conditions, and the level of risk.
Option 1: Liquid Termite Treatments
Best for: Active termite problems, high-risk conditions, or homeowners who want a strong “barrier-style” solution around the structure.
How it works:
Liquid termite treatments are applied to the soil and key entry points around your home to create a protective zone. This approach is often recommended when there’s confirmed activity, heavy risk factors, or conditions that favor termite entry.
What you can expect:
- Detailed inspection and treatment plan tailored to your foundation type
- Treatment applied where it’s most effective around the structure
- Clear guidance on follow-up and prevention steps
Why St. Louis homeowners choose this:
- Strong option for active infestations
- Excellent for homes with conditions that increase termite pressure
- Fast, targeted protection around the structure
Option 2: Trelona® Bait Termite Monitoring
Best for: Homeowners who want a low-disruption, ongoing protection approach—especially when termite pressure is moderate or you want long-term monitoring.
How it works:
We install discreet monitoring stations around the perimeter of your home. If termites are found, we introduce Trelona® bait designed to be shared within the colony. Over time, this can reduce and eliminate termite activity while keeping constant watch around your property.
What you can expect:
- Perimeter station installation and baseline inspection
- Routine monitoring and service visits
- Targeted baiting when activity is detected
- Ongoing protection with continued monitoring
Why St. Louis homeowners choose this:
- Minimal disruption to the home
- Great for long-term prevention and early detection
- Continuous monitoring helps catch activity quickly
Common termite signs
Know when an inspection is the right next step
Some termite evidence resembles other insect or moisture problems. A professional inspection is the best way to understand what you are seeing.
- Mud tubes along foundation walls or in basements
- Winged swarmers or piles of discarded wings
- Soft or hollow-sounding wood
- Bubbling paint, small openings, or unexplained debris

Common questions
What property owners often ask
How do I know whether I have termites?
Swarmers, mud tubes, discarded wings, and damaged wood are common warning signs, but an inspection is the best way to confirm activity.
Is liquid treatment or bait monitoring better?
Neither option is right for every property. Current activity, construction, risk conditions, and your protection goals guide the recommendation.
Can you help protect new construction?
Yes. Termite pre-treatment is available for new construction, additions, patios, porches, and other qualifying concrete work.

Not Sure Which Termite Treatment You Need?
Most homes don’t need a “one-size-fits-all” approach. We’ll recommend the best fit based on:
-
Evidence of current termite activity
-
Foundation and construction type
-
Soil contact points and moisture conditions
-
Prior termite history or previous treatments
-
Your preference: monitoring plan vs. barrier-style protection

Termite Treatment FAQ
How do I know if I have termites?
Swarmers, mud tubes, and soft or damaged wood are common signs. An inspection is the only reliable way to confirm termites vs. ants or moisture damage.
What’s the difference between bait monitoring and liquid termite treatment?
Bait monitoring focuses on detection and colony reduction over time through perimeter stations. Liquid treatments focus on creating a protective zone at the structure to stop termite entry and impact activity.
How long does termite treatment take?
Liquid treatments are typically completed in a scheduled service visit. Bait monitoring is a program—stations are installed, then monitored and serviced on an ongoing basis.
Are termite treatments safe for pets and kids?
When applied correctly by licensed professionals, both approaches are designed to be used responsibly around homes. We’ll review any specific concerns before service.
How much does termite treatment cost in St. Louis?
Pricing depends on home size, foundation type, access, and whether termites are active. We provide a clear quote after inspection—no surprises.
Do you offer ongoing protection?
Yes. Many homeowners choose monitoring or maintenance plans for long-term peace of mind.
