Frequently asked questions
Is the termite inspection in Pinecrest free?
Yes. The standard inspection to identify termites and quote treatment is free. An official WDO report for a home sale or refinance is a separate paid service, and we'll quote it when you ask.
Do I have to leave my house for termite treatment?
It depends on the method. Tent fumigation typically requires leaving the home for two nights and three days, and no one can go back in until the licensed fumigator has posted clearance. A liquid soil treatment does not require leaving the home, but people and pets must stay clear of the work area and off treated soil until the application has been watered in or has dried. Every method comes with its own preparation instructions, and your inspector will review them with you.
How soon can someone come out to my Pinecrest home?
We respond the same day you contact us. New customers are typically scheduled within 24 hours. Same-day appointments depend on availability and preparation.
Does a termite warranty pay for damaged wood?
No. None of our termite services covers wood repair or replacement. Coverage depends on the service. Some agreements include covered retreatment during the term, the baiting system includes station monitoring and servicing, and Formosan fumigation has no warranty at all.
Can Formosan termites be treated without tenting?
Often, yes. Formosan termites can be handled with a liquid soil treatment or a termite baiting system, and both work on this species. Formosan fumigation is also available, but it comes with no warranty. Longer-term protection requires a separate service, such as liquid treatment or baiting. Your inspector will recommend the option that fits where the activity is.
