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.
Swarms or mud tubes get priority scheduling — we know active subterranean colonies cause damage every day they go untreated.
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.
Non-repellent liquid termiticide applied along the foundation perimeter, engineered to eliminate the colony through contact transfer.
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.
We provide official wood-destroying organism reports that satisfy real estate closing and refinance requirements.
We document structural damage with photos and moisture readings, then connect you with repair contractors if needed.
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.
The full foundation perimeter and accessible wood members are inspected, with findings documented in a written report.
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 West Union and the wider West Union, 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 West Union when scheduling routine versus priority termite inspections.

Subterranean termites live in soil and travel via mud tubes into structures; drywood termites live entirely inside wood, requiring no soil contact.
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.
Over-the-counter sprays typically only repel termites locally rather than eliminating the colony, which can make the infestation harder to treat professionally later.
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.
Whether it's mud tubes, swarmers, or a closing deadline, we can get an inspector out fast.
