Our Process
Falls Church & Fairfax County Expertise
We know why Falls Church homes get termites. Stream valleys along Tripps Run and Four Mile Run keep the soil wet year-round. Add in 1940s–1960s basements with settling cracks, and you have a direct path for subterranean termites.
78-Point Inspection
Our technicians check mud tubes, crawlspaces, foundation walls, and wood-to-soil contact points. In Falls Church's older Cape Cods and ramblers, we pay extra attention to basement window frames, additions, and where brick meets wood trim.
Sentricon Colony Elimination
Bait stations go in the ground around your home. Workers carry the bait back to the queen. This kills the whole colony at its source instead of just blocking termites at a barrier they can go around.
Year-Round Monitoring
Yearly inspections and ongoing Sentricon checks catch activity before it turns into costly damage. Free callbacks mean we come back until the problem is handled.
