Frequently asked questions
How can I tell whether my Miramar home has drywood or subterranean termites?
Drywood termites often leave small, hard pellets below infested wood such as window frames or trim. Subterranean termites, including Formosan termites, often build mud tubes along foundations or walls. Our free inspection confirms the species so your options fit the actual problem.
Do I have to leave my house during termite treatment?
It depends on the method. Tent fumigation requires leaving, typically for two nights and three days, until clearance is posted. Formosan liquid treatment does not require leaving home, but people and pets must stay clear of the immediate work area while treatment is in progress and off treated soil until the application has been watered in or has dried. Spot treatment and bait installation each have their own preparation steps, which your inspector will explain.
Is the termite inspection really free?
Yes. The standard inspection with a written quote is free. An official WDO real-estate report for a home sale or closing is a separate paid service, quoted on request.
How soon can someone come out to my home?
We respond the same day. New customers are typically scheduled within 24 hours. Same-day appointments depend on availability and preparation.
Does a termite warranty pay to repair damaged wood?
No. Our termite agreements do not cover wood repair or replacement. Where a warranty applies, it covers retreatment or servicing as described in that agreement. Formosan fumigation has no warranty at all.
