Stop the Silent Damage Before It Starts
Termites cause more damage to homes annually than storms and fires combined — and most of the time, it happens without you even noticing. At A Star Plus Pest Control, we specialize in detection, elimination, and prevention of all termite species.
TYPES OF TREATMENT
Types of Termite Treatment
Not all homes (or termites) are the same. We tailor the most effective treatment from the options below:
Liquid Barrier Treatment
A protective chemical zone around your home’s foundation that kills termites upon contact.
Bait Stations
Discreet, underground bait systems that attract and eliminate the colony.
Foam & Dust Treatment
Ideal for wall voids and hard-to-reach areas.
Wood Treatment
Preventative solution for vulnerable wood structures and framing.
Pre-Construction Treatment
Termite protection applied before a structure is built.
TERMITE DAMAGE OFTEN GOES UNNOTICED UNTIL IT'S SEVERE
Termite Damage Warning Signs
Sagging or hollow-sounding wood
Tight windows or doors (due to warped frames)
Blistering paint or dark areas on walls
Mud tubes on walls, ceilings, or beams
Small piles of wings or frass (termite droppings)
KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Flying Ants vs. Termites
Not sure if it's a termite or a flying ant? Here's how to tell:
| Trait | Flying Ants | Termites |
|---|---|---|
| Waist | Narrow and pinched | Broad and uniform |
| Antennae | Bent (elbowed) | Straight |
| Wings | Uneven sizes | Equal length |
| Behavior | Mostly seen outdoors | Found near wood or inside |

You can help protect your home by following these proven tips:
Moisture Control

Keep firewood and mulch away from your home.
Foundation Care
