Termite Control Manassas VA

Termite Control in Manassas, VA

If you live in Manassas, you've probably heard about termites. They're small, quiet insects that eat wood—and they don't take breaks. Left alone, they can damage floors, walls, and decks. The good news: with the right plan, you can stop them and protect your home.

Why are termites common in Manassas

Our warm, humid springs and summers are perfect for Eastern subterranean termites. They live in the soil and build muddy tunnels to reach your house. Neighborhoods with mulch, flower beds, wood fences, and shady tree lines—like Old Town Manassas, Sudley, West Gate, Georgetown South, Yorkshire, Bull Run, and Loch Lomond—give termites plenty of places to hide and travel.

Signs of Termites in Manassas

Look around your home, especially near the foundation and in damp areas. Call for an inspection if you see:

• Flying termites (swarmers) in spring or after warm rain

• Piles of tiny wings on window sills or near doors

• Mud tubes on foundation walls, garage edges, or crawl space piers

• Soft or blistered wood/paint, or wood that sounds hollow when tapped

• Doors or windows that suddenly stick (moisture from hidden activity)

Tip: Don't scrape mud tubes or spray store products on them. That can push termites deeper and make them harder to find.

What happens during a termite inspection

A licensed PestNow termite specialist walks the outside and inside of your home and checks:

• Foundation, porches, and slab cracks

• Garages and utility entry points

• Crawl spaces and basements

• Deck posts, steps, and landscaping that touch the house

You'll get a clear explanation of what we found, photos if needed, and the best plan for your home.

Termite Treatment Options

Every property is different. We match the treatment to your structure, soil, and risk.

• Liquid protection around the foundation
  We make a continuous protective zone where termites try to enter. This stops new termites and reaches the ones already moving in.

• Bait stations & monitoring
  Small stations are placed around your home. Termites share the bait with the colony, which reduces the whole population over time. These stations also let us monitor activity year-round.

• Spot treatments
  If activity is limited to a small area, we can treat just that spot.

We follow Integrated Pest Management (IPM)—targeted, careful, and designed to use the right amount of product in the right place.

Termite Retreatment Warranty

A Termite Retreatment Warranty is a service guarantee that a pest control company gives after they've treated a home for termites.

PestNow's Termite Retreatment Warranty Explained

• Full retreatment coverage: If termites are found after PestNow has treated a home, they will retreat the property at no additional cost.

• Transferable with no hidden fees: Unlike many companies that charge transfer fees, PestNow's termite warranty can be transferred to a new homeowner at no cost. This adds resale value to a property because the ongoing protection continues seamlessly.

• Annual inspections required: To keep the warranty active, PestNow performs yearly re-inspections, checking stations, crawlspaces, and moisture conditions. Homeowners get a written report with photos.

• Transparent terms: PestNow clearly explains retreatment conditions, renewal requirements, and warranty coverage upfront, avoiding "fine print" surprises that are common with other providers.

• Focus on prevention: In addition to coverage, PestNow inspectors also advise on moisture control, grading, and landscaping fixes that help prevent future infestations—making the warranty more than just a safety net.

Easy ways to prevent termites

You can lower your risk with a few simple habits:

• Keep 3-4 inches of bare foundation showing—don't pile mulch against siding

• Fix leaks and dry out damp crawl spaces or basements

• Clean gutters and point downspouts away from the house

• Store firewood off the ground and away from exterior walls

• Seal gaps where pipes, cables, or wires enter the house

• Trim bushes so they don't touch the siding

Friendly FAQ

Do I need treatment if I only saw swarmers?
Probably. Swarmers mean a colony is nearby. An inspection will tell us if they're active in your home.

Which is better, bait or liquid?
Both work well. We'll suggest one—or a hybrid—based on your foundation, soil, moisture, and landscaping.

Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes, when used as directed. We apply products carefully and explain any short, common-sense precautions (like staying off treated areas until dry).

How fast will I see results?
Liquid zones stop new entry right away. Bait stations reduce the colony over time. We'll explain what to expect for your specific plan.

How long does protection last?
With regular checks and a renewable warranty, your home stays protected year after year.
