Termites are a significant problem due to several critical factors:

Structural weakening

Termites eat through wooden support beams, joists, and studs, compromising the strength of your home over time. Damage like this isn’t just cosmetic—it can threaten your home’s structure and cost thousands in repairs.

Hidden damage

Termites often do their work behind walls, under flooring, or inside ceilings. By the time you notice warped wood or sagging floors, the infestation could be extensive.

Financial strain

 Since homeowner’s insurance rarely covers termite damage, you often end up covering the costs. Early termite control and inspection can save you from major out-of-pocket costs.

Resale headaches

Even after removal, a history of termite infestation can lower your home’s value or delay a sale. Buyers get nervous when they hear “termite,” especially if it’s not been professionally addressed.

That’s why having a reliable plan to deal with termites is essential for Plainwell property owners who want to protect their homes and buildings from long-term structural issues and costly repairs.

Warning Signs You’re Dealing with a Termite Infestation

Keep an eye out for these four common signs of subterranean termite activity:

Mud tubes

These pencil-thin tunnels appear along foundations or basement walls. Termites use them to travel safely between their nest and a food source—your home.

Discarded wings

In spring, swarmers (reproductive termites) shed their wings after finding a new nesting site. Piles of wings on windowsills or in corners are a red flag.

Hollow-sounding wood

If you tap on wood in your home and it sounds hollow, termites may have already chewed through the inside, leaving just a thin surface layer.

Bubbling paint or warped floors

These signs are often mistaken for water damage but could indicate termite activity beneath the surface.

Plainwell Termite Control FAQs

How do I know if I have termites or just ants?

Termite swarmers look similar to flying ants, but they have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and thicker waists. If you’re unsure, call us for a termite inspection—we can tell the difference fast.

Are termites common in Plainwell?

Yes. Subterranean termites are found throughout Southwest Michigan, including Plainwell. They thrive in damp soil and wooded areas, making our region a prime spot for infestations.

How often should I get a termite inspection?

We recommend an annual termite inspection for protection. If you’ve had past issues or live in an older home, inspections may need to be more frequent. We customize each termite treatment to the home and infestation severity.

Is termite removal harmless for pets and kids?

Yes. We use professional-grade products and apply them with care, keeping your family’s protection front and center throughout the entire termite control process.

“Jason came out to provide a termite estimate. Due to his confidence, knowledge, and professionalism I hired him on the spot. About an hour later he had us set up to begin exterminating our termites with monitoring stations. I went with Pest Pros not because they offered the lowest cost estimate, but because of Jason.”
