Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Q: Why are termites so common in Newark?

The soil and the climate in Wise 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 Newark?

A liquid barrier runs $1,200 to $3,000 for a typical Newark 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 Newark?

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.
