Mud tubes on the foundation or frass near window sills both mean the same thing — termites are actively feeding, and every week matters. Because termite damage typically isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance, catching it early is the only real safeguard against a costly repair bill.


Our inspectors hold state wood-destroying organism (WDO) licensing and produce documentation accepted for real estate transactions.
When a La Crescent, MN 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. We also provide a moisture map of the foundation area, since moisture readings often predict where future termite pressure is most likely.
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.
We document structural damage with photos and moisture readings, then connect you with repair contractors if needed.
We treat soil and foundation footings pre-pour so new builds start with a termite barrier already in place. 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 La Crescent and the wider La Crescent, MN region, with scheduling priority given to properties showing active swarms, mud tubes, or real estate transaction deadlines. Older La Crescent neighborhoods with mature tree cover tend to carry higher subterranean termite pressure, which shapes how we prioritize inspection requests.

Subterranean termites live in soil and travel via mud tubes into structures; drywood termites live entirely inside wood, requiring no soil contact.
Pricing is based on linear feet of foundation and treatment type — we provide an exact written quote after inspection, not a phone estimate.
A wood-destroying organism report is commonly required for financing; we issue licensed reports formatted for that purpose.
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.
A swarm event signals the colony has matured enough to reproduce, which is often the first visible sign homeowners notice. It's also worth scheduling an annual re-inspection even after treatment, since new conducive conditions like grading changes can develop over time.
A documented inspection today is cheaper than structural repair later — call to get on the schedule.
