Stop Termites Before Structural Damage Occurs
Subterranean termites live in soil and travel unseen into buildings through foundations, crawl spaces, and plumbing penetrations. Once inside, they feed on structural wood, often for years before damage becomes visible. Effective termite control requires precise inspection, continuous soil protection, and long-term monitoring.
Pestcom Pest Management provides professional termite control services throughout southwest Idaho and eastern Oregon, designed to eliminate active colonies and protect homes from future infestations.
In the Boise area, many homes have crawl spaces, irrigation systems, and soil conditions that can make them more attractive to subterranean termites, especially around foundations and slab edges. During an inspection, we consider common Treasure Valley construction styles, local building practices, and moisture patterns so we can recommend the most appropriate treatment options for your property.
How Termites Invade Structures
Subterranean termites typically enter homes through hidden access points, including:
- Foundation cracks and expansion joints
- Plumbing and utility penetrations
- Crawl-space stem walls and piers
- Wood-to-soil contact
- Areas with excess moisture or poor drainage
Because termite activity is often concealed behind walls or beneath flooring, infestations may go unnoticed until visible damage appears. Scheduling a termite inspection in Boise helps confirm activity early and outlines next steps before damage spreads.

Our Termite Protection System
We use a structured, proven approach designed for Boise homes and Treasure Valley construction styles.
1) Inspection & Moisture Mapping
We inspect crawl spaces, sill plates, subfloor framing, plumbing penetrations, irrigation zones, and foundation edges. We also review any previous treatments, repairs, or moisture concerns to build a complete picture of risk.
2) Soil Barrier Installation
A continuous treated zone is applied around the structure using:
- Trenching to footer depth
- Rod injection at labeled intervals
- Spot or foam treatments for tight voids
This creates a protective barrier termites cannot cross without exposure.
3) Monitoring & Bait Systems (Optional)
For properties with landscaping changes or prior termite history, monitoring stations allow for:
- Early detection of new activity
- Colony suppression over time
- Documented inspections and trend tracking
4) Moisture & Habitat Corrections
We may recommend adjustments such as:
- Irrigation and drainage corrections
- Splash block or gutter improvements
- Eliminating wood-to-soil contact
- Correcting negative grading near foundations
Small moisture fixes often make a big difference in long-term termite prevention.
5) Ongoing Monitoring
Ongoing service options include scheduled inspections, photo documentation, diagrams of treated zones, and annual or quarterly protection plans.
Preparing for Termite Service
Before We Arrive
- Clear 12–18 inches along the foundation
- Move wood piles, bins, or stored materials
- Provide crawl-space access
- Mark known irrigation or utility lines
After Treatment
- Keep soil undisturbed for 48–72 hours
- Do not caulk weep screens or foundation vents
- Maintain gutters and splash blocks
- Contact us if swarmers or mud tubes appear
Preparation helps treatments work efficiently and protects your landscaping.
Signs of Termite Activity
Common warning signs include:
- Mud tubes on foundations or crawl-space walls
- Hollow-sounding or soft wood
- Swarming insects near windows or lights
- Discarded wings
- Bubbling or cracked paint
Early detection can prevent costly structural repairs—especially during spring and early summer when swarming is common in the Treasure Valley.
Why Ongoing Protection Matters
Even after colonies are eliminated, termites can return if soil barriers are disturbed or moisture conditions remain favorable. Ongoing inspections help document structural changes, landscaping updates, or grading adjustments that could affect protection.
Routine monitoring allows us to keep your home protected long-term—without surprises.
