Termite Control
What our termite treatment includes
Our termite service starts with an inspection of accessible foundation areas, crawl spaces, basement areas, sill plates, piers and other wood-to-soil conditions. We look for live termites, mud tubes, swarm evidence, moisture conditions and visible damage. After we explain what we find, we recommend a liquid barrier, bait system, or a combination suited to the structure. Liquid treatment creates a treated zone where allowed, while bait systems use monitored stations to intercept termite activity. We treat as part of the termite job, document conditions, and explain follow-up. Tennessee restricts termiticide use to certified or licensed applicators, and our team follows those requirements.

Signs to watch for
Signs termites may be active
Dickson homes have a median build year of 1981, so crawl spaces, foundations and older wood deserve a close look. Watch for these clues.
Mud tubes
Pencil-like soil tubes on foundation walls or piers can give subterranean termites a protected route into wood.
Discarded wings
Small piles of shed wings near windows or lights may follow a termite swarm, especially during spring.
Hollow wood
Wood that sounds hollow when tapped can have galleries inside, even when the surface looks intact.
Blistered flooring
Raised or blistered wood flooring may reflect termite feeding below the surface, moisture, or both.
Sagging wood
A soft sill, joist, or trim board can indicate concealed damage and should be examined rather than covered.
Tight doors or windows
Seasonal swelling can cause sticking, but unexplained changes near damp crawl-space wood also warrant termite inspection.
What to expect
Our termite treatment process
We keep the work clear from the first conversation through treatment and follow-up, so you know what we found and why we chose the plan.
Step 1
Tell us what you noticed
We ask about swarmers, mud tubes, damaged wood, crawl-space access and changes around the home so our technicians prepare for the right inspection.
Step 2
Inspect the structure
We examine accessible foundation edges, crawl spaces, basement areas, wood-to-soil contact and other routes subterranean termites may use.
Step 3
Explain the treatment plan
We show you the evidence and explain whether a liquid barrier, bait system, or combination fits the structure and observed activity.
Step 4
Treat and plan follow-up
We complete the agreed termite treatment, record the service conditions, and explain monitoring, access needs and steps that help limit reinfestation.
Timing
When termite signs need attention
Termites can stay hidden behind finishes or below a floor. We help you separate signs that call for prompt attention from conditions that can be scheduled for a planned visit.
Call now if you see
- Live termites or a fresh swarm inside the home
- New mud tubes on the foundation or crawl-space piers
- Soft, hollow, or visibly damaged structural wood
- A sudden floor, door, or window change near damp wood
Schedule a planned visit for
- Old shed wings with no current activity
- A past termite treatment needing review
- Possible mud tubes that are dry or inactive
- A home inspection concern before maintenance work
What drives the cost
What moves termite treatment cost
Homes near Dickson's I-40 and Highway 46 interchange are part of the same local service area, but each structure needs a different treatment plan. These details affect the work involved.
You get the price and the scope from us before any work starts.
Treatment method
A liquid barrier, bait system, or combination requires different materials, access and follow-up work.
Home size and layout
More foundation lines, piers, additions, crawl-space sections and interior areas can increase inspection and treatment work.
Access to crawl spaces
Tight, blocked, or damp crawl spaces take more care to inspect and treat than open, accessible areas.
Termite activity found
Live termites, mud tubes, swarm evidence and the location of affected wood determine how broadly we treat.
Moisture and soil conditions
Water near foundations, damp wood and soil conditions can change treatment access and the prevention steps we recommend.
Common questions
Termite control questions
What are the first signs of termites in a house?
Common early clues include mud tubes on foundation walls or piers, discarded wings after a swarm, hollow-sounding wood, and small areas of damaged or blistered flooring. In a crawl space, inspect sill plates, joists and wood near soil or moisture. These signs do not prove active termites by themselves, so our technicians inspect before choosing treatment.
How do I tell flying termites from flying ants?
Termites usually have straight antennae, a broad waist, and wings of similar length. Flying ants have elbowed antennae, a pinched waist, and front wings longer than the rear pair. Shed wings indoors can be an important clue either way. We can inspect swarm evidence and identify the insect before recommending termite treatment.
What is the difference between a liquid treatment and bait stations?
A liquid treatment creates a treated zone around applicable foundation and soil areas. Bait stations use monitored points where termites feed and carry the bait back through the colony. The right choice depends on construction, access, soil, activity and your home's conditions. We explain the plan after inspecting the structure.
How long does a termite treatment protect my home?
Protection depends on the treatment method, construction, soil movement, moisture, weather, renovation, and new termite entry points. A treatment is not a permanent guarantee against future activity. We explain the follow-up and monitoring needed for the selected plan, and we recommend attention to leaks, wood-to-soil contact and crawl-space moisture.
Is an inspection part of the treatment?
Yes. Our termite service includes inspection of accessible areas as part of treatment planning. We look at foundation edges, crawl spaces, basement areas, wood-to-soil contact, mud tubes, swarm evidence and visible damage. We then explain what we found and select a liquid barrier, bait system, or combination based on the structure.
What does termite damage look like in a crawl space?
Look for mud tubes on piers or foundation walls, hollow or tunneled wood, blistered surfaces, weakened sill plates, and soil or moisture touching wood. Damage may be hidden behind insulation or finishes. Do not disturb questionable structural wood before inspection. Our technicians document accessible conditions and explain what requires treatment.
