Termite Inspection Process in St. Charles & St. Louis County, MO
At Around The Clock Pest Control, we use a multi-step approach to ensure that termites are detected before they cause major structural damage to your home. Our experienced technicians are trained to spot even the most subtle signs of an infestation. Here’s how our process works:
Step 1: Exterior Property Assessment
- Inspect the home’s foundation for visible termite shelter tubes.
- Examine wooden structures such as decks, fences, and sheds for signs of damage.
- Identify potential termite entry points near soil contact and moisture-prone areas.
- Look for signs of swarming termites, such as discarded wings near entryways.
Step 2: Interior Inspection
- Tap wooden surfaces to detect hollow-sounding areas that may indicate internal damage.
- Use moisture meters and infrared technology to find hidden colonies within walls and flooring.
- Inspect baseboards, window frames, and doorframes for signs of termite activity.
- Check attic spaces for termite-damaged wood and droppings.
Step 3: Crawl Space and Attic Examination
- Assess wooden beams and joists for tunnels and structural weakening.
- Look for frass (termite droppings) or wood shavings, indicating active feeding.
- Identify any leaking pipes or excessive moisture, which can attract termites.
Step 4: Reporting and Recommendations
- Provide homeowners with a detailed inspection report, including images of problem areas.
- Offer tailored treatment and prevention solutions based on the findings.
- Answer any questions homeowners may have about termite risks and mitigation strategies.
