Protect My Home!
Protecting Homes from Silent Destroyers
Termites can cause serious damage to a home and cost property owners billions of dollars each year. Most standard homeowners insurance plans do not cover this kind of damage. Our local team offers trusted termite detection, treatment, and long-term prevention to help protect your property. With expert care and proven solutions, you can feel more confident about keeping your home safe.
Termite Control Solutions
PestNow provides long-term peace of mind through a Renewable Termite Warranty. This program includes:
- Complete Elimination: Treatments designed to get rid of the whole colony, not just the bugs you see.
- Free Retreatments: As long as the annual warranty is kept up to date, PestNow will treat any new termite activity at absolutely no extra cost.
- Free Warranty Transfers: If the house is ever sold, the termite warranty transfers to the new buyer with zero transfer fees.
With PestNow, homeowners get proven treatments and a reliable safety net to keep their property safe year after year.
Real Estate Inspections
Buying or selling a home in Weeksville can come with a long checklist, but your termite inspection doesn't have to slow things down. PestNow provides prompt, detailed Wood-Destroying Insect reports, also known as WDI reports, which are often required by mortgage lenders before closing.
Our team understands how important timing is during a real estate transaction. We work efficiently to complete the inspection and provide the documentation needed to help the process move forward. If the property already has an active PestNow Termite Warranty, that coverage may transfer to the buyer at no additional cost. This gives the new homeowner added peace of mind while increasing the value of the home. With PestNow, Weeksville buyers and sellers can feel more prepared from inspection to closing.
Why Choose PestNow
- Detection: We find what you can't see—mud tubes, hollow wood, and galleries.
- Elimination: Using industry-leading technology to wipe out the colony at the source.
- Warranty: Active protection that means if they return, we do too—for free.
Don't leave your biggest investment to chance.
Signs of Termites
If you notice any signs of termites around your home, contact PestNow right away for a professional inspection. Termites can cause serious damage before many homeowners even realize they are there, so fast action matters. Common signs to watch for include:
- Swarmers: Flying termites, often mistaken for flying ants, inside or near your home in the spring.

- Mud Tubes: Pencil-sized tubes running along your foundation or basement walls.
- Hollow Wood: Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or paint that is bubbling or cracking.
All Your Termite Questions
Answered
What is a WDI Report?
A WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) report is a specialized inspection required by most lenders for home purchases or refinances. It checks for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood-boring beetles. In the DMV, this report is essential for a smooth real estate closing, and PestNow provides these fast, digital reports to realtors and buyers to keep the process moving.
Does my homeowners' insurance cover termite damage?
Unfortunately, no. Standard homeowners' insurance in Virginia, Maryland, and DC almost never covers termite damage or repairs. This is why a professional warranty is so important—it acts as the protection your insurance company doesn't provide.
What type of termites do you protect against?
At PestNow, our protection plans are specifically designed to target these pests, which are the most common and destructive termites in the eastern United States. Unlike some pests that live entirely inside your wood, Eastern Subterranean termites live in the soil and build "mud tubes" to reach your home. Here is how we protect against them:
Targeting the "Silent Destroyer"
Eastern Subterranean termites are often called "silent destroyers" because they can chew through structural wood for years without being noticed. While there are thousands of termite species, the Eastern Subterranean termite is responsible for the vast majority of damage in Maryland. By focusing our treatments on their specific biology—like their need for moisture and their nesting habits in the soil—we can provide a much more effective defense for your home. PestNow technicians are experts at finding their hidden entry points and travel paths.
How do I know if I actually have termites or just ants?
It is very common for homeowners to confuse Termite Swarmers with Flying Ants, especially in the spring. Termites have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and a thick waist, whereas ants have elbowed antennae and "pinched" waists. PestNow provides professional inspections to give you a definitive ID so you don't pay for a termite treatment you might not need—or ignore a problem that is eating your home.
