We don’t jump straight to treatment. Every service starts with a detailed inspection so the plan matches the structure, the activity, and the conditions we find.
How Termites Take Hold
Termites look for moisture, wood, and direct access through the foundation or exposed structural points. Once termites find these conditions, they move in quietly and spread over time. At Rock Pest Control, our team tracks where they’re getting in and builds the right plan to stop it.
Signs You May Have Termites
Mud Tubes Along Foundation
Termites build narrow mud tubes along the exterior foundation to travel from the soil into the structure. These tubes protect them from drying out and are often one of the first visible signs of activity.
Wood That Looks Damaged
Termite damage can resemble wood rot. You might notice soft, hollow-sounding wood or damage in exposed beams, especially in basements or during renovation work.
Flying Termites (Swarmers)
You may see winged termites, especially in spring or fall. They often look like flying ants and appear when colonies are expanding or starting new nests near your home.
Discarded Wings Indoors
After swarming, termites shed their wings. Finding small piles near windows, doors, or basement areas can point to activity happening inside or just outside the structure.
Why Professional Inspections Matter
Termite activity doesn’t stay in one place. What shows on the surface often connects to a larger issue along foundations, behind walls, and through structural gaps. Without a full inspection, it’s easy to miss where they’re coming from and treat the wrong areas.

How We Handle Termites
Termite Treatment Options
Sentricon Bait Stations
We place always-active stations around the home to detect termite activity early and eliminate colonies over time, typically within about 30 days after termites begin feeding.
Targeted Colony Treatment
When we find live activity, our technicians place above-ground stations directly on it, allowing termites to carry the treatment back and eliminate the colony at the source.
Liquid Barrier Treatment
Applying a liquid treatment to the soil around the structure creates a protective zone that helps stop termites from reaching the home.
Termites follow moisture and access points. We look at the conditions around your home so you’re not dealing with the same issue again later.
Before installing treatment, we use Call Before You Dig to mark utilities and ensure safe access around the foundation. We also guide you on clearing areas so nothing gets missed.
Termite control doesn’t stop after treatment. We monitor activity, perform yearly maintenance or reinspections, and stay ahead of conditions that can lead to future problems.
