Termite Treatment Backed for Ten Years
A continuous treated zone in the soil stops the colony at the property line of your foundation, and our guarantee keeps it stopped.
The weakness we attack
Termites cannot detect the treated soil, so they keep walking through it.
Subterranean termites live in the ground and commute into your house. That is the weakness we attack. Our standard treatment is a liquid application of a modern non-repellent termiticide, placed where the colony actually travels: trenched along the foundation, around piers, and injected under slabs and attached porches where the structure requires it.
Because the product is non-repellent, foraging termites keep crossing the zone, contact it, and carry it back into the colony.
Why we lead with liquid
The other approach
Bait stations
- Bait systems have their place, and there are homes where they are the right call.
- Protection depends on quarterly station checks staying on schedule.
A real tool. Not our default in this region.
What we lead with
A continuous treated zone
- A continuous zone in the soil around and under the structure.
- Goes to work on day one, with no station schedule to maintain.
- Suited to coastal Virginia soil conditions and the heavy pressure around Hampton Roads.
Do the job thoroughly once, then stand behind it for a decade.
Grade level
The colony is not in your house. It is in the ground under it, which is where the treatment day is actually spent.
One working day, most homes
How a treatment day goes
- 01 Before a single trench opens
Confirm the findings, walk the plan
We confirm the findings from your inspection and walk the treatment plan with you, including any precautions your property needs for pets, wells, or gardens.
- 02 Where the colony actually travels
Trench the soil at the foundation
The crew trenches soil at the foundation and places the product where subterranean termites commute, rather than where it is convenient to spray.
- 03 Licensed technicians, labeled rates
Treat the piers, under the house
Piers in the crawl space get treated in the same pass, because the interior supports are on the same soil the exterior wall is.
- 04 Slabs and attached porches
Drill and inject where concrete meets structure
Where a slab, stoop, or attached porch meets the structure, the treated zone has to continue through the concrete, so we drill and inject rather than leave the gap a colony would find.
- 05 For your file and any future closing
Document product, rates, and locations
Everything gets recorded: what was applied, at what rate, and exactly where. That record is yours, and it is the document a settlement agent asks for years later.
- 06 It transfers with the home
The 10 year guarantee starts
Your re-treatment guarantee begins the day the work is finished, and it stays with the structure rather than with you.

The re-treatment guarantee, and who it follows
If subterranean termites re-infest a structure we treated under the guarantee, we re-treat it. It stays with the structure, which future buyers and their lenders genuinely care about. Read the guarantee.
One more thing most companies skip: treatment without moisture correction is half a job. If the crawl space that fed this colony stays damp, conditions stay inviting.
We will show you the readings and, when it matters, pair the treatment with moisture control so the next colony finds a much less interesting house. Where the wood is already gone, our own carpentry crew replaces it.
Before the crew arrives
Treatment questions
Do I have to leave the house during treatment?
Usually not. The treatment targets soil around and under the foundation, applied by licensed technicians using EPA-registered products at labeled rates. We will tell you about any specific precautions for your home, including pets, wells, and gardens, before the crew starts.
How long until the termites are gone?
Foraging termites start crossing the treated zone immediately, and colony decline follows over the coming weeks as the non-repellent product transfers between insects. Visible activity typically fades quickly. The guarantee period is where your real protection lives.
What exactly does the 10-year guarantee promise?
If subterranean termites re-infest a structure we treated under the guarantee, we re-treat it. It covers qualifying liquid treatments for ten years and stays with the structure, which future buyers and their lenders genuinely care about.
