Termite control and inspection
Inspection, treatment, and protection against wood-destroying insects.
Termites do their damage quietly, inside wood, so an inspection is the honest starting point — it finds whether there's activity and where. Treatment ranges from targeted work to a full soil or bait system around the home.
Termite pressure in the Inland Northwest is far lower than in the Midwest or South. The region's main wood-destroying insect is the carpenter ant, which thrives in the surrounding pine country — so inspections here focus on carpenter ants and moisture at least as much as on termites.
Low termite pressure — inspect for carpenter ants
Termite pressure in the Inland Northwest is far lower than in the Midwest or South. This host’s live note is that the main wood-destroying insect is the carpenter ant, which thrives in the surrounding pine country, so inspections here focus on carpenter ants and moisture at least as much as on termites. If termites are found, treatment still starts with where the activity is. This page refers that inspection; it is not the inspector.
