The problem
Termites Do Their Damage Out of Sight
By the time you see swarmers or soft wood, termites have usually been working for a while. In Southeast Louisiana that often means Formosan termites, which build huge colonies and move fast.
We inspect, map your structure, wipe out active colonies and put long-term protection in place, with an annual inspection to keep it active. Every plan comes with the paperwork so you can see exactly how your home is protected.
Signs of termites
- Mud tubes on the foundation or piers
- Piles of discarded wings near windows and doors
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Bubbling paint or damaged trim
- Floors that feel soft or sag

The 3 Termites We Treat in Louisiana
Each one lives and spreads differently, so the right treatment depends on which one you have.
Subterranean Termites
Live in the soil and build mud tubes into your home. Swarm in late winter and spring, usually during the day.
Learn more →Formosan Termites
Huge, aggressive colonies that do damage fast. Swarm around lights on late-spring evenings.
Learn more →Drywood Termites
Live inside the wood with no soil contact. Look for little piles of pellets under small holes.

Inspections, Real Estate Reports and Wood Protection
Structural Inspection & Mapping
Every plan includes a detailed inspection and digital mapping of your structure, with treatment specs so you can see exactly where your home is protected.
WDI / WDO Reports
Wood Destroying Insect inspections and documentation for real estate transactions.
Pre-Construction Treatment
Soil and foundation treatment before the slab is poured or walls close, documented for the builder and warranty records.
Tent-Free Drywood Treatment
Targeted drywood termite treatment without tenting the whole house.
Borate Wood Treatment
A professional borate preservative applied to wood to protect it from termites and other wood-destroying insects.
Post-Treatment Check-Ins
Scheduled 30, 60 or 90-day follow-ups as applicable, to confirm conditions and document findings.
We also treat powderpost beetles, carpenter ants and carpenter bees. Louisiana requires termite contracts to be filed with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry, and we handle that filing for you.

What types of termites are common in Southeast Louisiana?
Native subterranean termites, Formosan termites and drywood termites. Formosan termites are especially destructive and very common around New Orleans.
How do I know if I have termites?
Watch for mud tubes on your foundation, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows, damaged trim and sagging floors. A professional inspection is the only way to know for sure.
Do you offer termite inspections?
Yes. We inspect homes and commercial properties, including annual preventative inspections and Wood Destroying Insect Reports (WDI/WDO) for real estate transactions.
What is a WDI report?
A Wood Destroying Insect Report documents whether termites or other wood-destroying insects are present. Lenders and buyers often require one when a Louisiana home is sold.
Are Formosan termites worse than regular termites?
Yes. Formosan colonies are much larger and can cause structural damage far faster than native subterranean termites, so early detection matters.
Which termite treatment is best for my home?
It depends on your structure and the termites involved. A liquid barrier gives immediate protection, bait stations eliminate colonies over time, and the combination gives you both. We'll recommend one after the inspection.
How long does termite treatment last?
A properly installed treatment provides long-term protection when it's maintained. That's why every plan includes an annual inspection and renewal.
Do you treat new construction?
Yes. Pre-construction treatment goes into the soil and foundation before the slab is poured or walls close, and we provide documentation for the builder and warranty records.
