Termite Inspection & Treatment
Prime Pest Solutions starts its termite treatment process with a detailed inspection. By examining the property closely, we identify any evident termite activities.
The inspector then drafts a layout of the structure, aiding in the generation of a precise termite treatment quote. This quote is influenced by both the structure's linear footage and its foundation type. In Georgia, the foundation type is especially crucial when addressing subterranean termites.
Features like expansion joints between slabs or block walls in a crawl space might necessitate a termiticide treatment to ward off termites. After finalizing the quote and treatment details, the inspector will arrange a suitable time to administer the liquid termite treatment service.

Protecting Your Home From Termites
The primary goal of a treatment for subterranean termite control is to create a chemical barrier between the termite nest, typically in the ground, and the wooden elements of a structure.
Inspect
We inspect the structure, foundation type, visible termite activity, and areas where termites may gain access.
Quote
The termite treatment quote is based on the structure, linear footage, foundation type, and treatment needs.
Treat
Liquid termiticides are applied to targeted areas to help create a barrier between termites and the structure.
Protect
Ongoing attention to termite risk areas helps protect the home from future termite activity and damage.
Soil & Foundation Treating
Soil treatment involves applying termiticides to the soil beneath and around a building to form a robust chemical barrier. It's vital to ensure a continuous barrier both inside and outside the foundation, beneath slabs, and surrounding utility entry points.
Treating the foundation involves the application of termiticide directly to it, making it resistant to termites. The goal is to introduce the termiticide into every crack at the footing and through any openings in the foundation wall that might connect to the external ground.
Another instance of foundation treatment is addressing the insides of hollow concrete block walls. These details matter because subterranean termites often use hidden routes to reach wood and structural materials.

Termites can remain hidden while causing damage to wood, flooring, framing, crawl spaces, and structural areas. Professional termite control helps identify activity and protect vulnerable areas of the property.
Subterranean Termites
These termites often live in the ground and travel through soil or hidden pathways to reach structural wood.
Liquid Termiticides
Liquid termite treatments are designed to create a treated zone between termites and the structure.
Crawl Spaces
Crawl spaces, block walls, and foundation gaps can create access points that need close inspection.
Termite Damage
Early inspection and treatment can help reduce the risk of more costly termite damage over time.
Signs You May Need Termite Control
Mud Tubes
Subterranean termites may build mud tubes along foundations, walls, crawl spaces, or other surfaces to travel between soil and wood.
Swarmers or Wings
Termite swarmers or discarded wings near windows, doors, or light sources can indicate nearby termite activity.
Wood Damage
Soft, hollow, blistered, or damaged wood may point to termites or moisture conditions that need inspection.
Termite Control Questions
How does termite treatment work?
Termite treatment often involves creating a treated barrier between ground-dwelling termites and the structure. Prime Pest Solutions inspects the property, prepares a quote, and applies treatment based on the structure and foundation type.
Why is the foundation type important?
Foundation type affects how termites may access the structure and how treatment should be applied. Slabs, crawl spaces, block walls, expansion joints, and utility entry points may all require different treatment considerations.
What are signs of termites?
Common signs include mud tubes, termite swarmers, discarded wings, damaged wood, hollow-sounding wood, and activity around crawl spaces, foundations, or moisture-prone areas.
Can termite control help prevent future damage?
Yes. Professional termite treatment and ongoing inspections help protect structures by addressing active termite activity and reducing access between termites and vulnerable wood materials.
