These tubes are made of particles of soil, wood and debris, and they allow subterranean termites to reach food sources above ground level.

1. Soil Treatments for Subterranean Termite Defense
Our soil treatments create a powerful barrier around your homeโs foundation, stopping subterranean termites before they can cause damage. This treatment not only repels termites but also ensures that any termites that cross the barrier carry the treatment back to their colonyโleading to full colony elimination.
2. Termite Bait Stations for Ongoing Protection
Our termite bait systems are strategically placed around your property to attract and eliminate termite colonies. Termites consume the bait and unknowingly spread it to the rest of the colony, ensuring total eradication. This proactive approach provides continuous monitoring and long-term protection.
3. Wood Treatments for Direct Termite Prevention
For added protection, our wood treatments fortify your homeโs structural wood against termite infestations. Treated wood deters termites, killing any that come into contact with it. This method is most effective when combined with soil or bait treatments for complete termite defense.
Hereโs whatโs included:
Termite protection refers to specialized termite control services designed to protect your home from structural damage caused by termites. Termite protection often includes either a liquid termiticide treatment or strategically placed bait stations around the homeโs foundation.
These services are part of a termite protection plan, which should also include routine inspections and preventive treatments. Many of these plans come with a termite bondโa contractual agreement that includes ongoing monitoring and covers any new damage caused by termites while under the agreement.
Absolutely. Termite damage is a widespread issue across nearly all of the U.S. Without termite protection, homeowners risk significant out-of-pocket expenses from termite-related damage. A professional termite protection plan helps ensure the structural integrity of your home, often saving you thousands of dollars by preventing issues before they start.
The extent of termite damage depends largely on the size and maturity of the colony. A small colony of 60,000 termites can consume approximately one square foot of wood in about a month, but thatโs just the beginning. Moderate to large colonies, which may include millions of termites, can cause severe structural damage in two to three years or less. In extreme cases, large colonies can render a home uninhabitable in under two years. Because termite damage can go unnoticed until it's extensive, itโs much more cost-effective to prevent it than to repair it.
The cost of termite control services varies depending on your propertyโs size and the type of treatment used. While preventive services are typically affordable, the cost to repair termite damage can easily climb into the tens of thousands. Investing in proactive termite protection through Massey Services now can save you from major headaches and unexpected costs in the future.
While DIY termite treatments exist, they often fall short of providing the long-term protection your home requires. A professional termite inspection from Massey Services identifies not just the presence of termites, but also the environmental factors that may invite future infestations. Our experts recommend the best treatment plan based on your homeโs layout and the local termite species. This professional guidanceโbacked by our unbeatable guaranteeโoffers far greater peace of mind than any store-bought solution.
The most effective termite control depends on the species of termite and the unique construction of your home. Thatโs why we begin every service with a free inspection. Based on our findings, we may recommend liquid treatments, bait stations, or a combination of bothโalways customized to give you the strongest defense against termites.
Yes, itโs absolutely necessary. Termites often work silently, and by the time their presence is discovered, the damage is usually significant. Regular inspections and proactive treatments with a comprehensive guarantee are your best defense against costly repairs and future infestations.
