You might not see them, but termites could be eating away at your home right now. These pests cause an estimated $5 billion in damage every year in the U.S., and the worst part? Most homeowners don’t realize they have termites until serious damage has already been done. Unlike ants or roaches, termites stay hidden—chewing through wood behind walls, under floors, and even inside structural beams.
The average homeowner spends $3,300 on termite damage repairs—and that’s before considering the cost of removing the infestation. Termites aren’t just a nuisance; they are a financial nightmare if left unchecked. If you wait until you see the signs, you’re already too late. The damage has been done.
Our region is one of the highest-risk areas for termite activity in the country. The combination of warm temperatures and humidity creates the perfect breeding ground for these destructive insects. If you live in the DMV area, your home is at risk—whether you see termites or not.
By the time you see termites, it’s often after years of hidden damage. Termites don’t come out into the open. They live in the soil, enter your home through tiny cracks, and stay hidden as they eat through wood. The only visible signs might be mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, or discarded wings from a swarm—signs that mean the infestation has already set in.
Traditional liquid treatments create a chemical barrier around your home, preventing termites from entering. While this method is effective, it requires trenching around the home, drilling into concrete slabs, and applying chemical treatments deep into the soil. This is a great curative option, but it’s invasive and requires ongoing maintenance.
For homeowners looking for a less invasive, long-term solution, Sentricon is the industry’s leading termite baiting system. Instead of waiting for termites to invade your home, Sentricon eliminates the colony before they can cause damage.
If you already have termites, a liquid treatment may be necessary to eliminate the active infestation. This method involves creating a barrier around your home using a non-repellent termiticide that termites pass through and unknowingly transfer to the colony. It’s highly effective, but more invasive.
For best results, many homeowners pair a liquid treatment with Sentricon for long-term protection.
We built an internal research team that dug through thousands of studies and reports to understand the true impact of the products used in our industry. As a result, we removed nine of the industry’s harshest chemicals and only use materials we are comfortable applying in our own homes day in and day out. Our treatments are EPA-approved, effective, and designed to be long-lasting while maintaining a lower impact on your home and surroundings.

By the time you see termites, they’ve likely already done extensive damage. The average undetected infestation causes $3,300 in home damage before it is discovered. A proactive approach—like installing a Sentricon system or scheduling annual inspections—can save you thousands of dollars in potential repairs.
Yes! Termites are incredibly difficult to detect early. A monitoring program ensures that if termites do find their way to your home, they are identified and eliminated before they can cause significant damage.
If your home is covered under one of our termite protection plans, any necessary treatments or bait replacements are fully covered at no additional cost to you. Our goal is to keep your home termite-free.
We provide termite services throughout the DC Metro area, including Northern Virginia and parts of Maryland.
Sentricon installation: Usually completed within 2 hours.
Liquid treatments: Depending on the severity of the issue and the size of your home, it may take anywhere from 2-6 hours.

Yes, we offer free inspections for homeowners interested in starting a termite protection plan or who suspect they may have an issue.
If left untreated, termites will continue to eat through your home, causing structural damage that can cost thousands of dollars to repair. Additionally, some homeowners' insurance policies do not cover termite damage, leaving you responsible for costly repairs.
Sentricon is a baiting system that eliminates termite colonies. Here’s how it works:
Bait stations are placed around your home.
Termites find the bait and take it back to the colony.
The active ingredient prevents termites from molting, which eventually eliminates the entire colony.
Stations remain in place to monitor for future activity.
On average, it takes about 90 days to fully eliminate a colony, but results may vary based on colony size and activity levels.
Yes, Sentricon is scientifically validated and has won the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge for its reduced impact on the environment. It’s a highly effective solution without the need for invasive treatments like drilling or trenching.
