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. A colony can feed on structural wood for years before any visible sign appears on the surface, which is why routine inspection matters even without an active swarm.
We check the sill plate, foundation cracks, and crawl space for mud tubes and wood-to-soil contact before recommending treatment.


Every technician performing Mentone termite inspections carries state licensing for wood-destroying organism reporting.
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.
Subterranean colonies travel through soil, so barrier treatment is mapped around the entire structure's perimeter.
Bait stations are placed around the property and checked on a monitoring schedule to catch new activity early.
Drywood termites don't need soil contact, so treatment targets the specific wood member, often with localized injection.
We provide a full written wood-destroying organism report accepted by most lenders as part of closing documents.
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.

Call +1-866-315-0243 and describe what you've seen — mud tubes, wings, or soft wood — so we can prioritize the inspection.
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.
The WDO report they provided was exactly what our lender needed for closing — saved us from a delay.
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.
Bait stations were installed along our property line and the quarterly monitoring checks have been reassuring ever since.

Nex Pest Control dispatches termite-certified technicians throughout Mentone and nearby communities for both inspections and treatment. Real estate transactions, renewals, and new active infestations all fall under the same Mentone service area and response timeline.

Termite swarmers have straight antennae and a thick waist, unlike the bent antennae and pinched waist of flying ants.
Treatment differs by species — subterranean gets a soil barrier or bait stations, drywood often gets localized wood treatment.
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.
