Frequently Asked Questions

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 Bay Springs?

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.

Q: How long does a termite treatment hold up?

A liquid barrier stays effective for five to ten years when properly applied, and a baiting system keeps working as long as the stations are serviced. The annual re-inspection keeps the record current.
