Mud tubes on the foundation or frass near window sills both mean the same thing — termites are actively feeding, and every week matters. Because termite damage typically isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance, catching it early is the only real safeguard against a costly repair bill.


Every inspection is conducted by a licensed WDO inspector, with reports formatted for lenders and closings when needed.
When a Lake in the Hills, IL customer reports a swarm or visible mud tubes, we move that inspection ahead of routine requests.
Treatment quotes are based on measured foundation perimeter and infestation type, given to you in writing before work begins.
Our equipment includes borate wood treatments, termiticide injection rods, and monitoring stations for long-term colony elimination. We also provide a moisture map of the foundation area, since moisture readings often predict where future termite pressure is most likely.
We trench and treat the full foundation line so worker termites carry the termiticide back to the colony itself.
Monitoring stations placed at intervals around the structure, checked on a schedule to intercept colonies before they reach the building.
Drywood colonies live inside the wood itself, so treatment targets the specific members showing frass or kick-out holes.
Licensed inspection documentation formatted to lender and closing requirements, delivered within the timeline your transaction needs.
We document structural damage with photos and moisture readings, then connect you with repair contractors if needed.
We treat soil and foundation footings pre-pour so new builds start with a termite barrier already in place. We cross-check readings with a second meter on any borderline case, since termite treatment decisions shouldn't rest on a single instrument.

Tell us what you're seeing — mud tubes, swarmers, frass, or damaged wood — so we schedule the right inspector and equipment.
An inspector arrives with moisture meters and acoustic detection tools to confirm activity before recommending treatment.
You get a complete inspection record, including photos of mud tubes, damage, or conducive conditions found on-site.
Every treatment includes a documented warranty term and, where applicable, a station-check schedule going forward.
Found mud tubes behind our water heater during a routine check. Inspector caught it before it reached the framing.
Needed a WDO report fast for a closing deadline. Report was in my inbox the same day as the inspection.
Bait stations have been checked every quarter for two years now, exactly as scheduled. No surprises.
They found drywood termites in a rafter we never would have checked. Saved us from a much bigger repair later.
Refinancing required a current WDO report and ours had expired. They got an inspector out within two days to meet the lender deadline.

Licensed inspectors cover Lake in the Hills and the wider Lake in the Hills, IL region, with scheduling priority given to properties showing active swarms, mud tubes, or real estate transaction deadlines. We factor in soil conditions and tree cover across Lake in the Hills when scheduling routine versus priority termite inspections.

Subterranean termites live in soil and travel via mud tubes into structures; drywood termites live entirely inside wood, requiring no soil contact.
Cost varies by foundation size and whether liquid barrier or bait stations are used; we quote in writing after seeing the property.
Most lenders and many state real estate transactions require a current WDO inspection report — we can turn documentation around on your closing timeline.
Non-repellent liquid barriers typically carry a multi-year warranty period, with annual re-inspection recommended.
DIY treatments often scatter the colony instead of eliminating it, which complicates professional treatment down the line.
Swarmers are reproductive termites leaving a mature colony to start new ones — seeing a swarm usually means an established colony is nearby. We recommend a yearly check-in after initial treatment, since soil grading and mulch buildup around a foundation can change year to year.
A documented inspection today is cheaper than structural repair later — call to get on the schedule.
