Termites cause more than $2.5 billion annually in damage across the country, more than tornadoes, hurricanes, and fires combined.

Termites constantly forage and evaluate the size and quality of food resources as they seek out cellulose, the primary component of wood. Termites follow tree roots and construction conduits such as pipes and footers to gain entry into homes.

It makes very little difference how your home or building is constructed or the type of foundation used in the construction, termites can find a way in, concealing themselves from exposure by building special “shelter tubes”.

Termites work slowly and silently as they eat away at your home or other property. Because termites work from the inside out, it's likely that you won't see signs of infestation until the damage is already done.

This Silent Destroyers Work 24/7, 365 Days a Year

No matter where you are located, your home or business is a target for termites. Even houses built on concrete slabs are threatened by termites that find their way through cracks and plumbing entry points.

Even cold weather offers no protection as termites are found as far north as Canada. In fact, cold weather only makes termites burrow deeper into the warmth of your home. As you can see from the map, termites are present in all areas of the United States.

Subterranean termites are one of the most damaging types of termites and live in colonies in the soil. Each colony is built around a king and queen, whose sole purpose is reproduction. Most of the termites that comprise the colony are worker termites that cause the damage to your home or business property. Worker termites search for food sources and share their findings with others in the colony. They are busy at work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, attacking the structure of your home or business property.

Real Estate/Termite Inspection Report

Guardian can issue a Wood Damaging Infestation Report. Also referred to as a "Termite Inspection Report." We can take care of your real estate inspection needs in a timely manner. We will thoroughly inspect the interior and exterior of your home for termites, and other wood destroying insects. Upon completing the inspection, Guardian will provide you with the necessary paperwork for your real estate closing. In the event that problems are detected, we will provide you with a detailed report outlining the problem areas, a written plan with advice on taking care of the problem, and a competitive bid.

Liquid Barrier & Treatment System

Guardian uses Termidor® - America's first 100% termite solution. Termidor® is a new type of non-repellent termite barrier control that has faced rigorous and thorough testing by US and foreign researches. Without exception, Termidor® consistently returned 100% effective results whenever and wherever it was used.

Once a termite has ingested or contacted Termidor® treated material with its body, it becomes a "carrier". Every termite it contacts will be infected and will in turn infect every termite it contacts. Termidor® works slowly, letting termites contact many others before dying themselves.

Although the "Transfer Effect" on individual termites is intentionally slow, the overall colony management is fast.

A Liquid Barrier treatment is installed by creating a trench, roughly 4" wide x 6" deep around the foundation of the structure. In certain instances, the soil adjacent to the foundation is rodded into the ground every 12 inches. The termiticide is applied into the trench and fill dirt. Small holes are drilled in basement areas, garages, patios, porches & block voids to permit a "barrier" to be installed. Your Guardian Termite Specialist will provide a diagram outlining your home or commercial property and explain the treatment supplies and techniques used.

Termidors® liquid non-repellent barrier system will kill existing termites with its "transfer effect". However, Guardian’s termite baiting system prevents new infestations and kills external colonies.

Termite Monitoring and Baiting System

Guardian can install underground termite monitoring stations every Fifteen to twenty feet around your property. Every time a service is performed, each station is inspected for termite activity. If termites are detected, termite bait is installed into the station. Termite bait will continue to be added by our technician until no consumption is being made by the termites.

Pre-Construction Treatment

If you are building a home or commercial property, you should be aware that the best time to treat for termites is before the slab/foundation is poured. Call us today to see how inexpensive it is to apply a termite liquid barrier between your property and potential termite problems.
