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 Plainedge termite inspections carries state licensing for wood-destroying organism reporting.
We keep inspection slots open same-week for Plainedge homeowners seeing mud tubes or wings near windows.
Liquid barrier and bait station pricing is quoted after inspection, tied to linear footage and species found.
Our inspection kit includes bore-scopes for checking wall voids without cutting into drywall unnecessarily.
A liquid barrier is trenched and applied along the full foundation line, not just the section where mud tubes were spotted.
Stations use a slow-acting bait that colony members share, which can eliminate the nest rather than just the visible tubes.
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.

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.
Inspection results in a written treatment plan and price, whether that's a liquid barrier or bait station system.
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.
Knowing the difference between drywood and subterranean species mattered — our treatment was completely different than what a neighbor got for the same symptom.
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.

No matter which Plainedge neighborhood you're in, a technician equipped for termite-specific work can reach you within days, often sooner. Real estate transactions, renewals, and new active infestations all fall under the same Plainedge 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.
Yes, a WDO report is standard for most real estate transactions and we can usually schedule it within a few days.
Longevity depends on the product used and soil conditions, which we'll explain based on what's applied to your property.
Exterior barrier treatment usually doesn't require leaving the home, but we'll tell you specifically if your treatment plan does.
Our guarantee covers a free re-treatment if activity returns within the stated window on your service agreement.
