Stop Existing Termites and Protect Against Future Infestations
Termites are the most destructive insect pests in the United States, causing billions of dollars in damage annually. Because Eastern subterranean termites work from the inside out, weakening wood framing and structures, it can be years before an infestation is discovered.

How Much Does Termite Treatment Cost?
The cost of your termite treatment is based entirely on the linear footage of your home.
Pricing is also determined by your home’s construction. Specifically whether your home is built on a concrete slab, has a basement, or features a crawlspace. Non-traditional methods, like termite baiting systems, are also priced by linear footage.
An Akita technician must complete an in-person termite inspection of your property to provide an accurate cost estimate for termite treatment.
While we are happy to provide one-time termite treatment services, one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent termites is adding termite monitoring to one of our quarterly programs.

How We Treat for Termites
We offer several highly effective methods to eliminate active colonies and provide lasting termite prevention.
- Termidor® Liquid Soil Treatment: This industry-leading application is applied along your foundation or exterior perimeter. Unlike basic repellents, Termidor® has a “transfer effect” that makes it a true colony killer, offering long-term, potentially indefinite protection.
- Termite Bait Stations: These systems are installed around your property and monitored every few months to intercept pests before they reach your home.
- Wood Treatments: We apply borates directly to vulnerable wood to eliminate termites and other wood-destroying insects on contact.
How do I know if I have termites?
Because Eastern subterranean termites feed inside the wood, spotting them early can be difficult. However, knowing what to look for can save your home. A professional inspection will look for the following warning signs:
- Shed swarmer wings or live winged insects around windows, patio doors, or light sources.
- Mud tubes running up your exterior walls or foundation.
- Wood inside the home that feels soft, is easily penetrated, or appears rippled, peeling, or bubbled.

Termite FAQs
- What do termites look like?
-
Eastern subterranean termites consume wood and other cellulose materials (like books and paper). Worker termites are small, pale, and wingless. However, the winged termites (called alates or “swarmers”) are often the first ones you’ll see.
- What is the difference between flying ants and termite swarmers?
-
It is easy to confuse the two, but knowing the difference is crucial. Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a thick waist, and wings that are all the same length.
Flying ants have bent antennae, a pinched waist, and front wings that are longer than their hind wings.
If you aren’t sure which one is flying around your property, it is best to schedule a termite inspection immediately.
- Where do termites come from?
-
These pests build their colonies underground in the soil. In the early or late spring, depending on the climate, male and female “swarmers” will leave their original colony to mate and establish new colonies nearby.
- How long does the treatment last?
-
Termidor® offers incredible long-term protection. Since it was introduced in 2000, it has held up exceptionally well in soil experiments and is predicted to offer indefinite protection.
- Do you offer a guarantee on your work?
-
Yes! Our termite guarantees are valid for 1 year and can be extended year after year. These guarantees can even be transferred to new owners if you sell your home. If your termite problem returns between our visits, we will re-treat the area at absolutely no additional cost.
- Does homeowners insurance cover termite damage?
-
In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage, classifying it as a preventable maintenance issue. This makes proactive termite prevention and regular professional inspections the most cost-effective way to protect your home.
