Why Metropolitan Pest Services

Expert in Termite detection and long-term structural protection

Termites destroy American homes silently, systematically, and without a single visible warning sign until the structural damage is already severe. Metropolitan Pest Services delivers professional termite pest control services that go beyond surface-level treatments — we identify the species, map the colony, and apply science-backed elimination strategies that protect your biggest financial investment for years.

Subterranean termites build pressurized mud tube networks that route moisture directly into your foundation, floor joists, and wall framing. Drywood termites colonize attic lumber, door frames, and hardwood floors without any soil contact at all. Both species qualify as wood-destroying organisms (WDO) under state pest regulations, and both require very different termiticide and treatment protocols to eliminate fully.

The average American homeowner spends over $3,000 repairing termite damage — and that figure rises sharply when infestations reach load-bearing structures. Early detection through annual termite inspection services is the single most cost-effective defense available. While protecting your home’s structure is vital, we also understand that indoor comfort is just as important; that’s why we offer expert Bed Bug Pest Control to eliminate biting insects and ensure your family sleeps soundly. Our technicians carry WDO inspection certifications and document every finding with photographic evidence and written reports.

Schedule an inspection immediately if any of these apply to your property: Your home is more than 10 years old with no prior termite inspection You have noticed mud tubes on interior or exterior foundation walls Wood floors, door frames, or window sills feel soft, hollow, or springy You found discarded termite wings near windowsills or entry doors Paint is bubbling or blistering on walls with no obvious moisture source

$5B Annual termite damage to U.S. homes Termites cause more structural damage to American residential properties every year than fires, floods, and storms — combined. Homeowner's insurance does not cover it.

What we bring to every job

WDO-certified inspectors assigned to every residential and commercial property
Termite baiting systems placed at strategic perimeter intervals for ongoing colony elimination
Soil treatment using deep-injection termiticide that creates a continuous liquid barrier around the foundation

Our Service Scope

Comprehensive termite pest control services for every property stage

Whether you are building a new home, protecting an existing structure, or investigating

suspected activity, our three-tier service system covers every scenario with precision and permanence.

Pre-Construction

Pre-construction soil treatment

We apply EPA-registered termiticide directly to the soil before foundation slabs are poured, creating a chemical barrier that subterranean termite colonies cannot cross. This is the single most effective and cost-efficient residential termite protection available.

Pre-slab soil treatment at every phase of construction
Termiticide injection into fill soil and back-fill zones
Post-treatment documentation for building department records
10-year renewable treatment warranty on new builds
Compliant with all state and local building code requirements

Post-Construction

Post-construction termite barriers

We protect existing structures using a combination of liquid barriers and termite baiting systems placed at measured perimeter intervals. This dual-approach system intercepts foraging colonies before they breach the structure and eliminates the queen at the colony level.

Full-perimeter liquid barrier using deep-injection termiticide
In-ground and above-ground bait station installation
Bait matrix replacement and monitoring on scheduled visits
Moisture control assessment for crawl spaces and basements
Annual retreatment included in protection plan contracts

Annual Inspection

Annual termite inspections

An annual WDO inspection by a certified termite inspector near me is the most reliable way to detect early-stage activity before it becomes a structural repair event. We inspect every accessible area — attic, crawl space, foundation perimeter, garage framing, and interior wood members.

Comprehensive WDO inspection report for homeowners and buyers
Real estate transaction inspection reports accepted statewide
Crawl space, attic, and foundation perimeter inspection included
Photographic evidence of all findings delivered digitally
Immediate treatment recommendation if activity is detected

Complete pest protection from Metropolitan Pest Services

Beyond termite pest control services, our licensed technicians also deliver professional bed bug removal using heat treatment and EPA-approved protocols, structural rodent exclusion with permanent entry point sealing, and general pest maintenance plans covering cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, and more — all under one annual service agreement.

Early Warning Indicators

Signs of termite activity you should never ignore

Termites rarely announce themselves. By the time damage is visible to the naked eye,

the colony has typically been active inside your structure for one to three years.

These are the five indicators our inspectors look for — and that you should act on immediately.

1. Mud tubes on foundation walls or interior surfaces

Subterranean termites construct sealed mud tubes to maintain the moisture and darkness they require to survive above ground. You find these running vertically along concrete foundations, brick, and drywall.

2. Hollow-sounding or soft wood members

Termites consume wood from the inside out, eating along the grain and leaving only a thin veneer. Tap door frames, baseboards, and window sills — a hollow or papery sound confirms interior damage.

3. Discarded wings near windows and entry points

Reproductive termite swarmers shed their wings immediately after finding a new nesting site. Piles of translucent wings near window sills, door frames, or light fixtures indicate a colony has recently established nearby.

4. Blistering or bubbling paint on walls

Termite activity generates moisture as colonies tunnel through wall framing. This moisture migrates outward and pushes paint away from the drywall surface — often misidentified as a plumbing or roof leak.

5. Frass — drywood termite excrement pellets

Drywood termites push small piles of hexagonal fecal pellets out through kickout holes in infested wood. You spot these tiny mounds on window sills, countertops, and floors directly below infested framing members.

Our Eradication Method

Our 4-step termite elimination process

We do not apply generic spray treatments and walk away. Every Metropolitan Pest Services

termite job follows a structured, documented protocol designed to achieve colony-level

elimination — not just surface suppression.

The Financial RealityThe Financial Reality

Why termites are a financial threat — and how we stop them

Why termites are a serious financial threat

Termites cause an estimated $5 billion in U.S. property damage annually — none of it covered by standard homeowner's insurance
A single subterranean termite colony contains up to one million workers that forage 24 hours a day without rest
Structural damage to load-bearing joists, sill plates, and beams can exceed $50,000 in repair costs before it becomes visible
Active termite activity legally requires disclosure during a home sale — and can kill a real estate transaction entirely
Moisture-damaged wood from termite activity creates secondary mold growth, compounding remediation costs further
Drywood termites require entirely different treatment than subterranean species — a misidentification means the colony survives

Benefits of our termite protection plan

Dual-system protection — liquid barriers eliminate contact threats while baiting systems target and collapse the entire colony
EPA-registered termiticide applied by licensed professionals at manufacturer-specified rates for maximum barrier integrity
Annual inspection visits included — we detect activity before it reaches your structural framing
Written WDO inspection report accepted for real estate transactions, HOA requirements, and insurance documentation
Moisture control consultation included — we identify and address the underlying conditions that attract termite colonies
Retreatment guarantee — if termites return within the warranty period, we retreat at no additional charge

Side-by-Side Comparison

Standard pest spray vs. Metropolitan Pest Services professional termite barrier system

A basic pest spray has zero effectiveness against an established termite colony. See exactly

what separates a surface application from a professional-grade termite protection system.

Protection aspect	Standard OTC / basic pest spray	Metropolitan Pest Services — professional termite barrier system
Eliminates the termite colony	No — surface sprays do not reach the queen or sub-soil colony	Yes — bait matrix is carried back to the colony and eliminates the queen
Penetrates soil to foundation depth	No — cannot be injected to the required 4–6 ft treatment depth	Yes — termiticide is deep-injected at regulated intervals around the full foundation perimeter
Addresses both termite species	No — generic sprays do not differentiate subterranean vs. drywood treatment requirements	Yes — species identification drives a customized combination treatment protocol
Residual barrier protection	Days to weeks — surface residual degrades rapidly in outdoor conditions	5–10 years — EPA-registered termiticide maintains efficacy throughout the soil treatment zone
WDO inspection documentation	None — no certified report produced, not accepted for real estate or insurance purposes	Yes — full WDO report with photographic evidence accepted for all legal and transaction purposes
Post-treatment monitoring	None — no follow-up inspection or colony collapse verification	Yes — 30-day and 90-day return visits with written clearance certificate on sign-off
Retreatment guarantee	None — no warranty or recourse if activity continues	Yes — written retreatment guarantee for the full warranty period at no additional cost
True long-term cost	Recurring purchase costs + full structural repair bills when the colony is not eliminated	Single transparent quote — annual plan prevents repair costs that average $3,000–$50,000
