Treatment, exclusion, or material replacement?
A qualified pest professional should inspect the property before recommending a program. Effective control often combines treatment with sanitation, exclusion, and follow-up.
When replacement or repair may be needed
Damaged structural materials may require repair or replacement by a qualified contractor after the infestation is addressed.
Safety and emergency guidance
Termites are not usually an immediate life-safety emergency, but severe structural damage should be evaluated promptly by qualified professionals.

Frequently asked questions
Termite Control FAQ
What is the difference between ants and termite swarmers?
Termite swarmers generally have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and a broad waist, while ants differ in these features.
Do termites always leave visible damage?
No. Activity may remain concealed for a long time.
How is termite treatment selected?
Species, construction type, access, infestation location, soil conditions, and prior treatment all matter.
Are bait stations effective?
They can be effective when properly installed, monitored, and maintained.
How often should a home be inspected?
Frequency depends on local termite pressure, prior activity, construction, and warranty terms.
Can moisture problems attract termites?
Moisture and wood-to-soil contact can increase risk, especially for subterranean termites.
Does treatment include wood repair?
Usually not. Pest treatment and structural repair are often separate scopes.
Can Pro Boost Local guarantee elimination?
No. Guarantees and warranties are offered, if at all, by the independent provider.
