Termite Facts
Termites exist in every state but Alaska. A well-organized subterranean termite colony can have more than a million hungry workers consuming over 100 pounds of wood per year. Termites never stop - they feast 24/7. They can fit through a crack as thin as 1/32nd of an inch, which is the thickness of a credit card.
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites are the most common termite threat in the U.S. They nest in the soil below the home and travel upward to feed on the home's wood structure. This type of termite includes Formosan termites - an invading group attacking some coastal states, and they are even more damaging and threatening.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites threaten the Southeastern, Southwestern and Western U.S., and Hawaii. Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites do not nest in the soil. They nest in wood - even dry lumber like the wood in your home. They can infest any part of a home from attics to walls to furniture.
The Nix Pest Guarantee means you can relax knowing we’ll nix your pest problem, and keep it nixed. And if pests come back between treatments, so will we — at no additional cost to you.1

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a termite infestation?
Be on the lookout for blisters in wood flooring, damaged wood, evidence of swarms (discarded wings), mud tubes on your home’s foundation and termite droppings. If you see any of these termite signs, contact Terminix for a free inspection to verify if you have termite activity.
How long do termite treatments last before we need another treatment?
Our OnGuard™ Termite Protection System includes termite bait stations that are strategically installed in the ground every 10-15 feet around the perimeter of your home. We will inspect your home and the bait stations annually to check for any termite activity. In the unlikely event that our expert inspectors find termite activity in your home, we’ll retreat your home to take care of the problem at no additional cost to you. And if you qualify for our Nix & Fix Termite Guarantee, we will also fix any new termite damage for as long as you keep your plan.
What if termites return after treatment?
If this happens, we will identify the areas of concern, replace the bait cartridges (if applicable) and retreat your home at no additional cost to you. And if your home qualifies for our Nix & Fix Termite Guarantee, we will also fix any new termite damage for as long as you keep your plan.
Does Terminix offer a guarantee for your termite treatment?
Yes. If in the unlikely event termite activity resumes, we will return to retreat your home and fix any additional termite damage at no cost to you (as long as your home qualifies).
Do I have to leave my property for Terminix to provide termite treatment?
There are multiple types of termites. For our OnGuard™ Termite Protection System installation, you do not need to leave your home. In some states (Florida, Hawaii and California), there are termites called drywood termites. One solution to remove these termites is fumigation. In the event that our inspectors find these types of termites, you may have to leave your home for several days during the treatment.
