Protecting Your Property Starts From the Ground Up Termites don’t just invade homes—they often start in your yard. Left unchecked, a hidden colony can tunnel its way straight to your foundation, causing thousands in damage. So when’s the right time to act?

1. Start Early: Spring and Early Summer

Termites become most active during warmer months, especially spring and early summer. This is when they swarm—looking for new places to build colonies. Treating your yard before or during this season gives you the best shot at cutting them off before they spread.

2. After Heavy Rain

Moist soil attracts termites. If your area experiences heavy rain or consistent moisture, your yard becomes the perfect breeding ground. After a wet spell, it's wise to schedule an inspection and consider preventive treatment.

3. When You Spot Warning Signs

Keep an eye out for:

• Mud tubes on fences, trees, or foundation walls

• Hollow-sounding wood or tree stumps

• Swarming insects that resemble ants but with wings

• Piles of discarded wings near doors or windows

These signs mean it’s time to take immediate action—termites are already in or near your property.

4. If You’re Landscaping or Renovating

Planning a new deck, planting trees, or adding mulch? It’s a good idea to treat your yard beforehand. Disturbing the soil can expose or attract colonies, so it’s better to be proactive.

5. Annually for Prevention

Even if you don’t see any signs, annual termite yard treatment is a smart move—especially if you live in a high-risk area or have a history of infestations. Prevention is always cheaper than repair.

Don’t Wait for Damage—Act Early

Termites may be quiet, but their destruction isn’t. Protect your yard and home with a thorough inspection and professional treatment plan.
