Our Termite Control & Prevention Services
Our licensed, insured, and highly experienced termite team can effectively eliminate colonies and keep them from ever taking root.
Here’s how we do it:
Liquid Treatments
For active infestations, we recommend liquid treatments. These can completely wipe out a colony in up to 90 days, while other options may take years to get the problem under control.
Our liquid treatment process involves establishing a termite-proof barrier around your property through the following:
- Creating a small trench around the exterior foundation wall
- Applying a termiticide solution in the trench (using the rodding technique, which yields better results), saturating the soil and abutting the exterior foundation wall
- Occasionally, drilling will be needed to apply the solution beneath slabs, walkways, stoops, or driveways
- Backfilling the trench and cleaning our work area
Once the solution is applied to the soil, it will bond with the molecules to create a termite-treated zone that can last for up to 12 years.
Bait Stations
While generally slower, baiting is an effective method for eliminating termites.
Here’s how it works:
- We place bait stations around your property, strategically positioning them where termites forage for food
- Worker termites feed on the bait and share it with the rest of the colony
- The bait features a toxin that prevents termites from molting and eventually causes the colony to collapse
With us, you can get termite baiting exclusively or pair it with comprehensive insect and critter protection through our pest control programs.

What Are Termites?
Termites are small insects that feed on wood and other materials found in buildings. They live in colonies underground and travel through tunnels to get to their food source; when they encounter wood, they’ll start to eat away at it until it’s completely destroyed.
Unfortunately, this process can go unnoticed for some time before the signs become obvious for homeowners and business owners. That’s why regular property inspections are vital; that way, infestations can be identified early on and dealt with accordingly using termite pest control.
How Can I Protect My Home or Business From Termites?
The best way to protect your property from termites is through prevention. Regularly inspect your property for signs of infestation, such as mud tubes around the foundation or walls, damaged wood, or piles of discarded wings near windows or doors.
If you find any evidence of termite activity, contact a professional termite pest control company like Ford’s Hometown Services right away, which will be able to assess the situation and recommend the best course of action for treating the problem.
How Can I Prevent Termites in My Home or Business?
Once the termite infestation has been eliminated, make sure that you take steps to prevent a recurrence. Termite pest control services will seal up any cracks or openings in your foundation or walls where termites may enter, but you can help.
Termites can be prevented by keeping wood piled up away from the exterior of your house or commercial property, as well as removing old, rotting tree stumps near your house. Both of these situations can attract termites looking for food sources. Additionally, consider having an annual inspection completed by a professional pest control expert who will be able to identify any potential problems before they become serious issues requiring costly repairs.
