Termite Inspection & Treatment in Baton Rouge, LA
Termites cause more damage to Louisiana homes than storms do in many years, and they work quietly. Catching them early means a treatment instead of a carpentry bill.
Request pest controlTwo kinds to know
Native subterranean termites are common across the region. Formosan termites, an invasive species, build larger colonies and can do damage faster.
Swarm season
Winged termites often swarm in spring, with Formosan swarms around dusk in late spring. Swarmers near lights or windows are a sign a colony is close.
Mud tubes
Pencil-width mud tubes on foundation walls, piers or inside crawl spaces are how subterranean termites travel. Break one open and see if it's rebuilt.
Damaged wood
Wood that sounds hollow, bubbled paint and soft trim near the floor can all be termite damage.
Liquid treatments
A liquid termiticide applied to the soil around and under the house creates a treated zone termites pick up and carry back.
Bait systems
Bait stations around the house are monitored and replenished; colonies are eliminated over time.
Moisture control
Leaks, poor drainage and wood touching soil invite termites. Fixing them is part of any lasting treatment.
Buying or selling
Louisiana real estate deals often include a wood destroying insect report. A company can inspect and provide one.
