Our Process
McLean & Fairfax County Expertise
We understand the termite risks specific to McLean, from stream valley moisture along Pimmit Run and Dead Run to the aging basements in Chesterbrook and Broyhill estates built in the 1960s.
78-Point Inspection
Our licensed technicians check mud tubes, crawlspaces, foundations, and wood-to-soil contact points. In McLean's wooded neighborhoods with mature landscaping, these entry points are common and easy to miss.
Sentricon Colony Elimination
Bait stations go around your perimeter. Workers carry the bait back to the queen. This takes out the whole colony at its source, not just blocks termites at a barrier they can route around.
Year-Round Monitoring
Annual inspections and continuous Sentricon monitoring catch activity before it becomes costly damage. Free callbacks mean we come back until the problem is handled.
