Why Termites are Common in Crofton

Crofton's warm, humid seasons, mixed slab and crawl-space foundations, and abundant mulch/landscaping create ideal conditions for Eastern subterranean termites. Colonies work 24/7 out of sight—most damage begins long before homeowners notice.

What to expect with Termite Control

1) Detailed inspection

A licensed technician checks the foundation, sill plates, garages, crawl spaces, porches, utility penetrations, and landscaping that contacts the structure. You'll get a clear report with photos and a step-by-step plan.

2) Treatment options (matched to your structure & soil)

• Liquid perimeter treatment to create a continuous protective zone around the foundation and entry points.

• Termite baiting & monitoring with stations at strategic intervals for colony elimination and long-term surveillance.

• Localized spot treatments where full treatment isn't required.

PestNow follows Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to prevent termites efficiently and safely.

3) Ongoing Termite Protection & Warranty

After treatment, we schedule follow-ups and monitoring. Keep coverage active with a renewable termite warranty that includes periodic inspections and re-treatments if needed during the warranty term.

4) Real estate WDI inspections (NPMA-33)

Signs of termites in Crofton

• Swarmers (winged termites) indoors or near windows/doors in spring or after warm rains

• Discarded wings along sills and light fixtures

• Mud tubes on foundation walls, piers, or garage interiors

• Soft/blistered paint or wood, hollow-sounding trim, sagging floors

• Sticky windows/doors from moisture and hidden tunneling

Don't scrape or spray the area—that can drive termites deeper. Schedule an inspection so we can track the colony and treat it correctly.

Termite Prevention Tips

• Maintain 3-4 inches of visible foundation; pull mulch back from siding

• Fix leaks and moisture in crawl spaces; consider dehumidification

• Store firewood off the ground and away from the house

• Seal utility penetrations; keep gutters and downspouts clear

• Ask about moisture control and TAP insulation to support long-term protection
