Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have drywood or subterranean termites in Lauderhill?
Drywood termites leave small, hard pellets called frass near infested wood. Subterranean termites build mud tubes up from the soil along foundations and walls. Winged swarmers can come from either type. Our free inspection checks the accessible areas of your home and identifies the species before any treatment is recommended.
Do I have to leave my home during termite treatment?
It depends on the method. Tent fumigation requires everyone to leave, typically for two nights and three days, and no one can go back in until the licensed fumigator posts clearance. A liquid Formosan treatment doesn't require leaving the house, but people and pets need to stay away from the work area and off treated soil until it has dried or been watered in. Spot treatment and baiting have their own preparation steps, which your inspector will explain.
What do the warranty terms cover after termite treatment?
Coverage depends on the service in your contract. Drywood bonds come with a one-year or three-year initial term. Drywood fumigation and Formosan liquid treatment start with one year, and all three can be renewed annually for a fee. Spot treatment covers only the treated areas for sixty days. Formosan fumigation has no warranty at all. None of these plans cover wood repair, so read your agreement's exclusions before you sign.
Is a Formosan termite fumigation enough on its own?
Formosan fumigation targets termites inside the structure on the day of treatment. It includes no warranty, no renewal, and no promised retreatment. Any later work is quoted as a new job. If you want ongoing Formosan coverage, the liquid soil treatment and the baiting system are separate options, each with its own contract.
Is the termite inspection for a home sale free?
The standard inspection we use to diagnose and quote your home is free. The official WDO report used in real estate closings is a separate paid service, and your inspector can give you a quote for it when you book.
