Mud tubes on the foundation or frass near window sills both mean the same thing — termites are actively feeding, and every week matters. Homeowners insurance almost never covers termite damage, which makes early detection the only real financial protection you have.


Our inspectors hold state wood-destroying organism (WDO) licensing and produce documentation accepted for real estate transactions.
When a Forest City, IA customer reports a swarm or visible mud tubes, we move that inspection ahead of routine requests.
Treatment quotes are based on measured foundation perimeter and infestation type, given to you in writing before work begins.
We install non-repellent liquid termiticide barriers and in-ground bait stations, backed by moisture meters and acoustic detection tools. Beyond the treatment itself, you'll get a documented moisture assessment, since damp foundation zones are usually the first areas termites return to.
We trench and treat the full foundation line so worker termites carry the termiticide back to the colony itself.
Bait stations give ongoing colony-level monitoring, useful for properties where liquid trenching isn't practical.
Drywood colonies live inside the wood itself, so treatment targets the specific members showing frass or kick-out holes.
Licensed inspection documentation formatted to lender and closing requirements, delivered within the timeline your transaction needs.
Beyond treatment, we assess joist, sill plate, and subfloor damage so you know the full scope before repairs begin.
Termiticide soil treatment applied before slab pour, protecting new construction from day one. We cross-check readings with a second meter on any borderline case, since termite treatment decisions shouldn't rest on a single instrument.

Describe the signs and their location; that determines whether we're dispatching for subterranean or drywood treatment.
An inspector arrives with moisture meters and acoustic detection tools to confirm activity before recommending treatment.
You get a complete inspection record, including photos of mud tubes, damage, or conducive conditions found on-site.
Every treatment includes a documented warranty term and, where applicable, a station-check schedule going forward.
Found mud tubes behind our water heater during a routine check. Inspector caught it before it reached the framing.
Needed a WDO report fast for a closing deadline. Report was in my inbox the same day as the inspection.
Bait stations have been checked every quarter for two years now, exactly as scheduled. No surprises.
They found drywood termites in a rafter we never would have checked. Saved us from a much bigger repair later.
Refinancing required a current WDO report and ours had expired. They got an inspector out within two days to meet the lender deadline.

We serve Forest City and surrounding Forest City, IA communities, moving fastest for active infestations and time-sensitive closing inspections. Older Forest City neighborhoods with mature tree cover tend to carry higher subterranean termite pressure, which shapes how we prioritize inspection requests.

Subterranean colonies need ground moisture and build visible mud tubes, while drywood colonies nest directly inside dry wood members.
Pricing is based on linear feet of foundation and treatment type — we provide an exact written quote after inspection, not a phone estimate.
Most lenders and many state real estate transactions require a current WDO inspection report — we can turn documentation around on your closing timeline.
Modern termiticide treatments are designed for long-term colony elimination, generally backed by a multi-year warranty.
Over-the-counter sprays typically only repel termites locally rather than eliminating the colony, which can make the infestation harder to treat professionally later.
Swarmers are reproductive termites leaving a mature colony to start new ones — seeing a swarm usually means an established colony is nearby. We recommend a yearly check-in after initial treatment, since soil grading and mulch buildup around a foundation can change year to year.
A documented inspection today is cheaper than structural repair later — call to get on the schedule.
