Our comprehensive termite control services include a combination of thorough inspections, industry-leading treatments, and proactive prevention to ensure your home stays termite-free.

Detailed Termite Inspection

Every effective termite extermination plan starts with a professional termite inspection. Our experts carefully examine your home, looking for active infestations, entry points, and signs of termite damage such as:

  • Mud tubes along the foundation
  • Hollowed or damaged wood
  • Discarded wings near windows and doors
  • Frass (termite droppings) around baseboards and attics

 

Using advanced moisture meters and thermal imaging, we pinpoint termite activity, ensuring no hidden colonies go undetected.

Powerful Termite Treatment Options

Once we assess the severity of your infestation, we customize a targeted termite treatment plan using the most effective, science-backed solutions:

  • Liquid Barrier Treatments – We apply industry-trusted liquid barrier treatment around your foundation, creating a long-lasting protective barrier that eliminates termites upon contact and through colony transfer.
  • Baiting Systems – Our termite bait stations work 24/7 to attract and eliminate entire colonies, providing a non-invasive, eco-friendly solution.
  • Wood & Soil Treatments – If needed, we apply borate-based wood treatments to deter termites and prevent future infestations in vulnerable areas.

Ongoing Termite Prevention & Protection

Eliminating termites is just the first step—keeping them out is just as important. That’s why Hank’s offers continuous termite monitoring and preventative treatments to protect your home year-round. Our termite protection plans include:

  • Annual termite inspections to catch infestations early
  • Bait system maintenance to ensure colonies don’t return
  • Soil and foundation treatments for long-term defense

 

With Hank’s expert pest control services, you can rest easy knowing your home is protected by proven solutions and industry-leading expertise. Schedule your termite inspection today and let us help you safeguard your biggest investment!

Introduction to Termite Infestations

Termites are one of the most destructive pests a homeowner can face, causing billions of dollars in structural damage each year. These silent destroyers work around the clock, feeding on wood, drywall, and even structural beams—often without immediate signs of damage. By the time you notice mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, or discarded wings, a termite infestation may already be well established.

The Hidden Danger of Termites

Unlike other household pests, termites don’t just invade your home—they consume it from the inside out. Because they thrive in hidden, moist, and dark spaces, they can remain undetected for months or even years, leading to expensive repairs and compromised structural integrity.

Common Termite Species in Our Area

At Hank’s, we specialize in eliminating the most common termite species found in homes, including:

  • Subterranean Termites – The most destructive and widespread, these termites build underground colonies and enter homes through foundation cracks.
  • Drywood Termites – Unlike subterranean species, drywood termites don’t need soil contact. They burrow directly into wooden structures, making them harder to detect.
  • Formosan Termites – Known as super-termites, these highly aggressive species cause damage at an alarming rate due to their large colony sizes.

How Termites Enter Your Home

Termites gain access to homes in a variety of ways, including: 

  • Foundation Cracks – Tiny openings in your foundation allow subterranean termites to tunnel inside.
  • Wood-to-Ground Contact – Decks, fences, and untreated wood touching the soil create an open invitation for termite colonies.
  • Leaky Pipes & Moisture Issues – Damp wood attracts termites looking for an ideal nesting site.
  • Attics & Crawl SpacesDrywood termites enter through exposed wood, vents, and even furniture.

 

Without professional termite control, these pests will continue to multiply, leading to serious structural damage and costly repairs. That’s why early detection and expert termite extermination are key to protecting your home.

If you suspect termite activity, don’t wait! Contact Hank’s today for a professional termite inspection and stop the damage before it gets worse.

The Risks of Untreated Termite Infestations

Ignoring a termite infestation can lead to severe and costly consequences. Termites are not just a nuisance—they are silent destroyers that cause structural damage, compromise home safety, and significantly reduce property value. Without professional termite control services, these pests will continue to multiply, feeding on your home’s wooden framework, flooring, and support beams.

1. Costly Structural Damage

Termites work 24/7, consuming wood, drywall, and even insulation. Over time, they weaken key structural components, leading to:

  • Sagging floors and ceilings
  • Warped or hollow-sounding walls
  • Doors and windows that stick due to shifting foundations
  • Cracked or crumbling woodwork

 

2. Expensive Repairs

On average, homeowners spend thousands of dollars on termite-related damage. Unfortunately, most homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover termite destruction, meaning these costs come out of pocket. Early termite detection and preventative treatments can save you from unexpected, high-cost repairs.

3. Decreased Property Value

A history of termite infestations can significantly reduce your home’s resale value. If termites have compromised the foundation, framing, or wooden structures, buyers may hesitate or demand expensive repairs before closing. A professional termite treatment plan from Hank’s can help safeguard your home’s value and prevent long-term financial losses.

4. Health Risks & Air Quality Issues

While termites don’t pose direct health risks, an untreated termite problem can lead to:

  • Mold and mildew growth due to increased moisture from termite activity
  • Poor indoor air quality from damaged wood and insulation
  • Dust and allergens that can worsen respiratory conditions

5. Continued Colony Growth

A small termite problem can escalate quickly. A single subterranean termite colony can have hundreds of thousands of termites, and drywood termites can live unnoticed for years within furniture and walls. The longer they remain untreated, the more extensive the damage becomes.

If you suspect termites, acting fast is crucial. Contact us today to schedule an inspection and protect your home from costly damage.

Why DIY Termite Treatments Don’t Work

DIY termite treatments may seem like a quick fix, but they fail to eliminate entire colonies, leading to recurring infestations and costly damage. Here’s why professional termite control is the smarter choice:

  • Surface Treatments Fall Short – Store-bought sprays and baits only target visible termites, missing the thousands hidden within walls and foundations.
  • Wrong Treatment for the Wrong Termites – Different species require specific solutions. Misidentification leads to wasted time and ineffective results
  • No Long-Term Prevention – DIY methods don’t offer ongoing monitoring or barriers to stop future infestations.
  • Delays Cost You More – While you try and fail with DIY approaches, termites continue to cause expensive structural damage.
  • Professionals Get It Right – Hank’s uses advanced treatments and expert solutions to eliminate termites at the source and keep them from coming back.
