Every home is different in design and construction. Every region of the U.S. has different native termites and threat levels. The three major types of termites – subterranean, drywood and Formosan – attack in different ways, and must be combatted using specialized tactics. That’s why Orkin doesn’t offer pre-packaged termite control plans. Your local Orkin Pro has extensive training in termite control and knows that every plan must be unique.
Your customized termite control plan starts with a comprehensive termite inspection conducted at no cost to you. Your Orkin Pro will then develop a plan of attack, taking into account where termite colonies are located and how your home is constructed. You will receive a detailed inspection report, and a treatment plan complete with written specifications and diagrams outlining the recommended methods for existing termite control and future infestation prevention.
Your termite control plan won’t leave anything to chance when it comes to eliminating termite. Thanks to the Orkin Guarantee, you don’t have to take chances, either. Orkin promises your complete satisfaction with its termite control services. If termites return between treatments, your Orkin Pro will return to your property to re-treat your home and property at no cost to you.
Did you know that termites cause more damage each year than fire and flooding combined? Home and business owners spend more than $5 billion annually repairing the destruction caused by these voracious pests. Don’t wait until termites have invaded your valuable home or other property.

For more than 70 years, Orkin has been at the forefront of termite control science and technology. Your local Orkin Pro is equipped with an arsenal of tools to deploy against the termites eating your home. Not all of these may be applicable to your infestation or your home’s construction type; your unique, targeted termite control plan will include the methods most likely to be effective in your home and region.
Liquid termite treatments are used outside, within and inside your home’s foundation walls to immediately kill existing termites and prevent future infestations. The entire perimeter of your home is protected. Liquid can also be injected directly into active termite infestations. High-tech flowmeters record the amount of termite control solution applied to each individual location and cumulatively, to ensure that the precise amount needed is used.
To fill cracks and voids in your foundation, around pipes, around the slab and interior and exterior walls, your Orkin Pro will apply dry foam or Orkinfoam, which expands as it dries to reduce or eliminate appealing termite nesting spots.
Your Orkin Pro will place termite monitoring stations in the most at-risk areas of your home, crawl space or foundation. If termite activity is detected, the monitoring station is replaced with a bait device. Termites eat the bait and then share it with other termites, ensuring the rapid demise of the termite colony.
It is important to inspect your home for termites at least once each year. Orkin provides this service as part of your customized treatment plan. At your request, your Orkin Pro will come inspect your property at any other time throughout the year.

Termites need wood, water and warmth to survive. While their regular food sources in the wild are old root systems and fallen trees, they sometimes make their way into human structures. When this occurs, there are certain areas that they usually find most attractive:
Clogged gutters and downspouts and the resulting water that pools around foundation areas can attract termites.
These pipes provide an access point for termites. Air conditioning lines, bath traps in houses built on slabs, and water, electric and gas lines all provide a highway for termites if the entry points are not well sealed.
All provide food for termites and need to be inspected regularly and kept as far from the home’s foundation as possible. Remember, any wood in contact with the soil can potentially be infested with termites.
If a crawl space does not have enough clearance, it is difficult to inspect, and termites can be attracted to dripping pipes located here.
Although termites don’t eat foam plastic insulation panels, they provide a warm refuge for termites.
Don’t wait until an infestation begins. Call 866-715-4665 to schedule your free termite inspection with Orkin today.
