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 designed to eliminate active colonies and protect homes from future infestations.
How Termites Invade Structures
Subterranean termites enter through:
- Expansion joints and foundation cracks
- Plumbing and utility penetrations
- Crawl-space stem walls and piers
- Wood-to-soil contact
They follow moisture and hidden access paths, making infestations difficult to detect without professional inspection.
Our Termite Protection System
1) Inspection & Moisture Mapping
We inspect:
- Crawl spaces, stem walls, and piers
- Sill plates and subfloor framing
- Plumbing penetrations and expansion joints
- Yard grade, irrigation, and drainage
We look for mud tubes, damaged wood, and conditions that attract termites.
2) Soil Barrier Installation
A continuous treated zone is created around the structure using:
- Trenching to footer depth
- Rod injection at labeled intervals
- Foam or spot treatments for tight voids
This forms a barrier termites cannot cross without exposure.
3) Monitoring & Bait Systems (Optional)
Perimeter bait stations can be installed to:
- Detect termite activity early
- Suppress colonies over time
- Provide long-term protection and documentation
4) Moisture & Habitat Corrections
We provide guidance to reduce termite pressure, including:
- Irrigation and drainage adjustments
- Splash block and gutter improvements
- Eliminating wood-to-soil contact
- Correcting negative grade
5) Ongoing Monitoring
We provide:
- Photo documentation
- Diagrams of treated zones
- Scheduled inspections and station checks
- Annual or quarterly monitoring options
Preparing for Termite Service
Before we arrive
- Clear 12–18 inches along the foundation
- Move wood piles, bins, and stored materials
- Provide crawl-space access
- Mark irrigation or utility lines if known
After treatment
- Keep soil undisturbed for 48–72 hours
- Do not caulk weep screeds or foundation vents
- Maintain gutters and splash blocks
- Contact us if swarmers or tubes appear
Signs of Termite Activity
- 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 prevents expensive repairs.
Why Ongoing Protection Matters
Even after colonies are eliminated, termites can return if soil barriers are disturbed or moisture conditions remain favorable. Monitoring and periodic inspection protect your home long-term.

Battling Termite Infestations
Subterranean termites feed on wood and plant material hidden inside structures. Because damage occurs internally, infestations often go unnoticed until significant harm has already occurred.
Watch for:
- Swarming insects
- Mud tubes
- Cracked or bubbling paint
- Hollow-sounding wood
- Discarded wings
Professional inspection is the only reliable way to confirm activity and protect the structure.
