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.


Every inspection is conducted by a licensed WDO inspector, with reports formatted for lenders and closings when needed.
When a Woodbine, IA customer reports a swarm or visible mud tubes, we move that inspection ahead of routine requests.
You'll see the full cost of liquid termiticide or bait station installation before we start — priced by linear foot of foundation, not guesswork.
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.
Monitoring stations placed at intervals around the structure, checked on a schedule to intercept colonies before they reach the building.
Localized injection and, when needed, structural fumigation for drywood termites living inside wood members rather than the soil.
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. Every crew also carries backup moisture meters, since accurate readings are what separate a real diagnosis from a guess.

Describe the signs and their location; that determines whether we're dispatching for subterranean or drywood treatment.
We show up equipped to inspect thoroughly, not just visually scan — moisture readings catch what the eye misses.
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.

Licensed inspectors cover Woodbine and the wider Woodbine, IA region, with scheduling priority given to properties showing active swarms, mud tubes, or real estate transaction deadlines. We factor in soil conditions and tree cover across Woodbine when scheduling routine versus priority termite inspections.

Subterranean colonies need ground moisture and build visible mud tubes, while drywood colonies nest directly inside dry wood members.
Cost varies by foundation size and whether liquid barrier or bait stations are used; we quote in writing after seeing the property.
A wood-destroying organism report is commonly required for financing; we issue licensed reports formatted for that purpose.
Non-repellent liquid barriers typically carry a multi-year warranty period, with annual re-inspection recommended.
DIY treatments often scatter the colony instead of eliminating it, which complicates professional treatment down the line.
A swarm event signals the colony has matured enough to reproduce, which is often the first visible sign homeowners notice. 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.
