What Are the Signs of Termite Infestation?

Before signing a contract, ensure you ask:

• Are you using a liquid barrier or a colony elimination baiting system (like Sentricon)?
• Does your service include a warranty or a re-treatment guarantee?
• Is the inspection thorough enough to identify the specific termite species?
• Are your technicians licensed and specifically trained in Termite extermination services?

Keep an eye out for mud tubes on the foundation, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windowsills, and frass (tiny wood-colored droppings). If your paint is bubbling or windows are sticking, it could also indicate termites.

Droppings
If you site Termite droppings that look tiny, rigid, wood-colored pellets.

Mud Tubes
Termite create mud tubes that are distinctive. They are found on the exterior of a surface and offer protection for termites.

Flying Termites
Flying termites called Swarmers, are attracted to light and are usually found near light fixtures. They have wings similar to fish scales. These Swarmers are typically the first sign of a termite infestation.

Wood that is Hollowed out
If wood by baseboards and windowsills sounds hollow when tapped with any tool, that means it is infested by termites. If the wood is damaged, tapping on the wood may cause crack and reveal termites that are eating the wood inside.

Termites cause billions in property damage annually in North America. Because most homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover termite damage, repairs can easily range from $3,000 to $30,000+ if the structural integrity of the home is compromised.

No two properties are the same. A quote depends on the square footage of the structure, the type of foundation, the severity of the infestation, and environmental factors like soil moisture. An on-site inspection ensures you get an accurate price without any hidden fees later.

Traditional liquid treatments are labor-intensive, requiring extensive trenching around your home and drilling through concrete porches or garage floors. You aren’t just paying for the product; you are paying for the specialized equipment, hours of heavy labor, and the long-term liability protection the company provides.

Yes. We prioritize low-impact solutions. We specialize in Termite Extermination and prevention services in Calgary. Our Sentricon baiting systems use a targeted active ingredient that specifically affects the molting process of insects. The bait is housed in tamper-resistant, underground stations that are inaccessible to children and pets.

No, termites cannot eat through concrete. However, they are experts at finding the tiniest hairline cracks (as small as 1/32nd of an inch) within concrete slabs or expansion joints to gain entry into your home.

With baiting systems, you will see a reduction in activity as soon as the workers begin feeding. However, total colony elimination, even including the queen, typically takes 60 to 90 days, depending on the size of the colony and the time of year.

In most cases, no, you do not have to leave your property. Because our Sentricon installations and monitoring occur around the exterior perimeter of the building, there is no need to vacate the premises.

For the initial interior inspection, we will need access to your home. However, for the installation of the exterior baiting stations and subsequent routine monitoring visits, you do not need to be present as all work is performed outdoors.
