Residential Termite Treatment for Your Home
Request a termite estimate
Termites feed on the wood that holds your house together. Most of the damage happens out of sight, in walls, floors and crawl spaces. Treatment costs money, but repairs and a lower resale price usually cost much more.
Sloweach Pest Control is a referral service. We do not treat termites. We connect you with independent providers in our network who inspect homes and offer treatment plans. You can request an estimate, compare written quotes, ask plain questions, and decide with no obligation. This page explains the signs, the methods and the price drivers, so you can judge each quote with confidence.
Think You Have Termites? Start Here
Found mud tubes, tiny wings or soft wood? Do not panic, and do not spray store-bought products on the spot. A professional inspection tells you what you have and how far it has spread.
Request an estimate, and a provider in our network can look at the problem and put a plan in writing.
Why Waiting Costs More
Termites keep eating through nights and weekends, and they do not take breaks. A small colony can grow for years before anyone notices. Hot, humid summers and heavy rain keep soil damp, and that suits many termite types well. Mild winters mean they rarely slow down much.
A smaller problem usually means a smaller bill. Damage to framing, floors or trim can also be costly to repair and can hurt resale value.
Signs to Look For
Check these spots first. Look at the garage, the attic edges, the crawl space and the base of exterior walls.
Mud Tubes
Subterranean termites build thin mud tunnels on foundations, piers and walls. They use them to travel safely from soil to wood. Break one open. Live, pale insects inside are a strong warning sign.
Wings and Droppings
Piles of small, clear wings near windows or doors often mean a swarm. Tiny pellets that look like sand can point to drywood termites.
Wood That Sounds Hollow
Tap baseboards, door frames and floor edges. Hollow sounds, bubbling paint or doors that suddenly stick can mean wood is being eaten from within.
Know Your Termite Type
The type of termite changes the plan, and often the price. That is why a good inspection comes before any quote.
Subterranean Termites
These live in soil and reach the house through the ground. They are common in warm, damp areas. Treatment usually focuses on the soil around and under the home.
Drywood Termites
These live inside the wood itself and need no soil contact. Treatment can be targeted to specific areas or cover the whole structure, depending on how far they have spread.
How Treatment Works
Providers use a few common methods. Some jobs use more than one.
Liquid Barrier Treatment
A provider applies a termiticide in the soil around the foundation. Termites that cross it are stopped from reaching the wood. Expect trenching or small drill holes in some areas.
Bait Stations
Stations are placed in the ground around the home. Termites carry the bait back to the colony. This approach often takes longer, and the provider will need to check the stations over time.
Spot and Wood Treatment
For a limited problem, a provider may treat infested boards directly. This can cost less, but it only fits small, well-defined areas.
Slab and Pier-and-Beam Homes
A slab-on-grade ranch home hides its foundation edge, so termites can enter through tiny cracks and plumbing gaps. Older pier-and-beam houses have open crawl spaces that need a close look for tubes and damp wood. Ask each provider how they plan to treat your foundation type.
Termite Reports for Home Sales
Buyers and lenders often ask for a termite inspection report when a house changes hands. A clean report helps a sale move along. If a report shows activity, treating it and keeping the paperwork can protect your price. Ask the provider what documents they give you afterward.
Choosing a Termite Provider
Do not pick on price alone. A low number may leave out steps that matter. Compare, then decide.
What a Written Quote Should List
- The termite type found, or suspected
- The treatment method and the areas covered
- The products used and how the job is done
- The total price, and any extra visits or fees
- The length of any service plan or warranty, and what it covers
- Whether damage repair is included or separate
Quote in writing, and keep each one so you can line them up side by side.
Questions Worth Asking
Ask if the provider is licensed in your state. Ask how long the work takes, and how the home should be prepared. Ask what happens if termites return. Plain answers are a good sign.
After Treatment
Treatment is not the end of the story. Keep wood and mulch away from the foundation. Fix leaks and keep gutters clear so water drains away from the house. Schedule any follow-up checks the provider suggests. Keep your paperwork in a safe place for future buyers.
Some policies may cover sudden damage, but many do not cover termites, so check your policy. Providers can often help document damage for a claim.
Compare, Then Decide
You do not have to decide on the first visit. Get a few quotes, read them closely and choose what fits your home and budget. Request a callback to check provider availability, or use the request form.

Questions
Residential Termite Treatment FAQ
How much does termite treatment cost for a house?
Many jobs fall between about $1,000 and $4,000 in the U.S., but price depends on the termite type, home size and method. Compare written quotes to see what each one includes.
Can I get rid of termites myself?
Store-bought products rarely reach a whole colony and may only push termites elsewhere in the house. A professional inspection shows how far the problem has spread and which treatment fits your home.
Do I need a termite inspection before selling my house?
Buyers and lenders often ask for one. Having a report ready can keep a sale on track. If activity is found, treating it and keeping the paperwork can help protect your price.
