Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why are termites so common in New Hope?

The soil and the climate in Madison keep the ground around foundations damp through most of the year, and the native subterranean species never get a hard winter shutdown. Swarm season peaks in the spring after warm rain.

Q: How much does termite treatment cost in New Hope?

A liquid barrier runs $1,200 to $3,000 for a typical New Hope home, and a baiting system runs $1,000 to $2,200 installed. The inspection is free, and the WDO report is written before any treatment is proposed.

Q: What are the first signs of termites in New Hope?

Mud tubes on the foundation are the clearest sign, along with winged swarmers at the windows in the spring, discarded wings in small piles, hollow-sounding wood, and bubbling paint. Calls spike after the first warm rains.

Q: How does a baiting system work?

Stations go into the soil around the foundation, and foraging workers feed on a treated cellulose bait and carry it back to the colony. The colony thins out over weeks. Baiting suits homes where trenching the full perimeter is impractical.

Q: Do I need a termite inspection before buying a house in New Hope?

Lenders require a wood-destroying organism inspection on most sales, and buyers should order one regardless. The report documents activity and damage in the crawl space, slab edge, or framing.
