Mud tubes on the foundation or frass near window sills both mean the same thing — termites are actively feeding, and every week matters. Homeowners insurance almost never covers termite damage, which makes early detection the only real financial protection you have.


Every inspection is conducted by a licensed WDO inspector, with reports formatted for lenders and closings when needed.
When a Dexter, MI customer reports a swarm or visible mud tubes, we move that inspection ahead of routine requests.
You'll see the full cost of liquid termiticide or bait station installation before we start — priced by linear foot of foundation, not guesswork.
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.
Beyond treatment, we assess joist, sill plate, and subfloor damage so you know the full scope before repairs begin.
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.

Describe the signs and their location; that determines whether we're dispatching for subterranean or drywood treatment.
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.
Treatment is scheduled with a written warranty period, and we outline the monitoring schedule if bait stations are installed.
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 Dexter and the wider Dexter, MI 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 Dexter 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.
A wood-destroying organism report is commonly required for financing; we issue licensed reports formatted for that purpose.
Modern termiticide treatments are designed for long-term colony elimination, generally backed by a multi-year warranty.
DIY treatments often scatter the colony instead of eliminating it, which complicates professional treatment down the line.
A swarm event signals the colony has matured enough to reproduce, which is often the first visible sign homeowners notice. 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.
