Discarded wings near a window in spring is a termite swarm, not flying ants, and it means a mature colony is already established somewhere in the structure. Termite damage isn't covered by most homeowner insurance policies, which makes early detection in Mill Plain properties a real financial issue, not just a cosmetic one.
A full inspection includes a wood-destroying organism report suitable for real estate closings, at no charge.


Our Termite Control crew is certified specifically for termiticide application, not general pest work.
Swarm season calls get priority scheduling since active swarmers mean a mature colony needs attention quickly.
Liquid barrier and bait station pricing is quoted after inspection, tied to linear footage and species found.
We use moisture meters, sounding hammers, and sometimes thermal imaging to find damage hidden behind finished walls.
A liquid barrier is trenched and applied along the full foundation line, not just the section where mud tubes were spotted.
Bait stations are placed around the property and checked on a monitoring schedule to catch new activity early.
We identify drywood frass (small pellet droppings) to pinpoint exactly which framing member needs treatment.
Photos of any damage found are included in the report so buyers and agents see exactly what was inspected.
We document damage severity so you or your contractor know which framing needs structural attention.
Commercial properties get scheduled monitoring and renewal treatment under a documented termite protection plan.

Tell dispatch whether it's a swarm sighting or existing damage; swarm calls get expedited scheduling.
A technician arrives with moisture meters and inspection tools ready to check the foundation, crawl space, and framing.
We trace mud tubes, check for wood-to-soil contact, and identify subterranean versus drywood species before quoting.
Guarantee coverage means continued activity within the guarantee window gets a free re-treatment.
Found mud tubes on the foundation during a routine check and Nex Pest Control had an inspector out within two days with a full written report.
Swarmers showed up near our bedroom window one evening and I panicked. The inspection found a subterranean colony and the liquid barrier was done the same week.
As a property manager, having a bonded termite plan on file made our annual insurance review painless.
We were about to list our house when the pre-listing inspection caught early subterranean activity — glad it was found before a buyer's inspector did.

Nex Pest Control dispatches termite-certified technicians throughout Mill Plain and nearby communities for both inspections and treatment. We cover single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial properties across Mill Plain with the same inspection standard and documentation.

Termite swarmers have straight antennae and a thick waist, unlike the bent antennae and pinched waist of flying ants.
Knowing which species you have changes both the treatment method and the price, which is why inspection comes first.
Most lenders require a wood-destroying organism report as part of closing, and we provide one with full documentation.
Barrier treatments typically hold for several years, with monitoring visits confirming the barrier is still effective.
Exterior barrier treatment usually doesn't require leaving the home, but we'll tell you specifically if your treatment plan does.
If monitoring shows continued activity, we return and address it at no additional charge under your plan.
