Termite Control
How much does termite treatment cost in Huntington, WV?
Termite treatment is priced per linear foot of your home's foundation (typically $6–$8 per linear foot) and includes a 12-month warranty — a free onsite inspection is required to confirm your exact quote and build your specific treatment plan.
Overview
Termites cause more structural damage than any other pest we treat, and by the time they're visible, they've usually been active for a while. We use a partial liquid treatment combined with a baiting system, priced by your home's linear footage, to both eliminate the active colony and keep monitoring for new activity.
Signs you may have termites
- Mud tubes running along the foundation, crawlspace walls, or piers
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, or that crumbles/flakes along the grain
- Discarded wings near windowsills or doors (a sign of a termite swarm)
- Small, uniform pinholes in drywall paired with fine dust, indicating activity behind the wall
Risks if left untreated
- Termites feed continuously and can cause tens of thousands of dollars in structural damage before they're noticed
- Damage isn't covered by most standard homeowners insurance policies
- Colonies can be established for years before visible signs appear on the surface
Our treatment process
- 1Full inspection of the foundation, crawlspace, and structure to identify active termite activity and any conditions that could attract them (moisture, wood touching soil, etc.)
- 2Partial liquid treatment around the foundation combined with a baiting system placed around the perimeter
- 312-month warranty on the treated structure, with monitoring visits included
- 4Low-cost annual renewal after the first 12 months to keep continuous protection and warranty coverage in place
Prevention tips
- Keep mulch, soil, and landscaping from touching the home's siding or foundation
- Redirect downspouts and grading so water drains away from the foundation
- Store firewood away from the house and off the ground
- Schedule a termite inspection periodically, even without visible signs — early detection is the difference between a treatment and a repair bill
Frequently asked questions
What's included in the 12-month warranty?
The warranty covers the treated structure against active termite infestation for 12 months from the date of treatment, with monitoring as part of the baiting system. Coverage continues with an annual renewal.
Do I need a termite pre-treatment for new construction?
Yes — pre-treatment during construction (priced per square foot) protects the slab and backfill before it's inaccessible, and includes a return visit to treat the backfill plus a low-cost annual renewal.
How is termite treatment priced?
By linear footage of your home's foundation. A technician measures your property during the inspection so the quote reflects your home specifically rather than a flat rate.
Can you give me an exact price without visiting my home?
No — termite treatment always requires a free onsite inspection first. That visit is how we measure your home's exact linear footage, confirm active activity and any conditions that could attract termites, and build a treatment plan specific to your property. Anything shown online beforehand is an estimated range, not a final quote.
In the Tri-State area
Subterranean termites are active throughout the WV/KY/OH Tri-State area, with swarming activity most common in spring as new colonies look to establish themselves in and around homes.
