Mud tubes running up your foundation are subterranean termites building a protected path from the soil to the wood framing — our inspection traces every tube back to its source before we quote a barrier treatment. A colony can feed on structural wood for years before any visible sign appears on the surface, which is why routine inspection matters even without an active swarm.
We check the sill plate, foundation cracks, and crawl space for mud tubes and wood-to-soil contact before recommending treatment.


Every technician performing Big Lake termite inspections carries state licensing for wood-destroying organism reporting.
Swarm season calls get priority scheduling since active swarmers mean a mature colony needs attention quickly.
Liquid barrier and bait station pricing is quoted after inspection, tied to linear footage and species found.
Our inspection kit includes bore-scopes for checking wall voids without cutting into drywall unnecessarily.
A liquid barrier is trenched and applied along the full foundation line, not just the section where mud tubes were spotted.
Bait stations are placed around the property and checked on a monitoring schedule to catch new activity early.
We identify drywood frass (small pellet droppings) to pinpoint exactly which framing member needs treatment.
We provide a full written wood-destroying organism report accepted by most lenders as part of closing documents.
Moisture meters and sounding tools help us map the extent of existing damage before recommending repairs.
We set up recurring inspection schedules for Big Lake commercial buildings with reports for property records.

Tell dispatch whether it's a swarm sighting or existing damage; swarm calls get expedited scheduling.
Our mobile units carry both liquid termiticide and bait station equipment for Big Lake termite calls.
Inspection results in a written treatment plan and price, whether that's a liquid barrier or bait station system.
Treatment is applied the same visit when possible, with monitoring visits scheduled to confirm the colony is gone.
The WDO report they provided was exactly what our lender needed for closing — saved us from a delay.
Swarmers showed up near our bedroom window one evening and I panicked. The inspection found a subterranean colony and the liquid barrier was done the same week.
As a property manager, having a bonded termite plan on file made our annual insurance review painless.
Bait stations were installed along our property line and the quarterly monitoring checks have been reassuring ever since.

Termite swarmers have straight antennae and a thick waist, unlike the bent antennae and pinched waist of flying ants.
Treatment differs by species — subterranean gets a soil barrier or bait stations, drywood often gets localized wood treatment.
Yes, a WDO report is standard for most real estate transactions and we can usually schedule it within a few days.
Longevity depends on the product used and soil conditions, which we'll explain based on what's applied to your property.
Most subterranean treatments are done outside the structure, so interior disruption is minimal.
