5 Ways Pointe Pest Control Protects Your Home from Termites Year-Round

Introduction
Termites might be small, but the damage they cause is anything but. These silent destroyers can chew through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper—often without being noticed until it’s too late. The key to protecting your home from costly termite damage is not just reacting when they appear, but having a year-round prevention and monitoring plan.

At Pointe Pest Control, termite protection is one of our specialties. In this blog, we’ll explore the 5 most important ways we help homeowners prevent, detect, and eliminate termite threats—before they do real damage.

1. We Use the Sentricon® System—An Industry-Leading Solution

Pointe Pest Control is proud to offer the Sentricon® System, a highly trusted termite baiting technology that eliminates entire colonies, including the queen.

Why It Works:

  • Sentricon® uses bait that is more attractive to termites than wood.

  • Termites consume the bait and take it back to the colony, spreading it to others.

  • The result: complete colony elimination, not just temporary control.

Sentricon® is environmentally responsible, requiring no drilling, no trenching, and no chemicals pumped into the ground like traditional barrier treatments. It’s a clean, discreet, and incredibly effective option for homeowners who want peace of mind.

2. We Perform Thorough Termite Inspections

Many homeowners don’t realize they have termites until visible damage shows up. Pointe Pest Control offers comprehensive inspections to identify termite activity early, including:

  • Wood damage and hollow-sounding boards

  • Mud tubes along foundation walls

  • Swarmers (winged termites) and discarded wings

  • Termite droppings (also called frass)

Our trained technicians use moisture meters, flashlights, and inspection mirrors to look in hard-to-reach places—crawl spaces, attics, and behind walls—so nothing is missed.

Bonus:

We also inspect for conditions conducive to termites, like wood-to-soil contact, high moisture levels, and foundation cracks. This allows us to make recommendations before a problem begins.

3. We Offer Preventative Monitoring All Year Long

Termites are active 24/7 and can strike any time of year—not just in spring. That’s why Pointe Pest Control offers continuous termite monitoring as part of our ongoing protection plans.

What This Includes:

  • Regular inspections of bait stations

  • Replacement of bait when necessary

  • Reporting on any signs of activity

  • Adjusting strategies if conditions change

Just like you wouldn’t skip regular dental cleanings to avoid cavities, year-round termite monitoring is a smart way to prevent damage before it starts.

4. We Customize Our Termite Treatment Plans for Each Home

Every home is different—different size, structure, foundation type, and termite risk. That’s why Pointe doesn’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. We assess:

  • Property layout and landscaping

  • Existing damage or previous infestations

  • Soil conditions and drainage

  • Proximity to wooded areas or mulch beds

Based on these findings, we design a custom termite control plan that offers the best possible defense for your home. Whether you’re dealing with active termites or want proactive prevention, our plan will fit your needs and budget.

5. We Back Our Work with a Satisfaction Guarantee

Termites are relentless—but so are we. Pointe Pest Control stands behind our termite services with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re under our protection plan and termites return, we’ll come back and handle it at no extra cost.

Why That Matters:

  • You can trust that we’re committed to long-term results

  • You don’t have to worry about surprise charges

  • You get peace of mind that your home is protected

In addition, we provide detailed reports and documentation after every visit—great for resale value, refinancing, or just knowing your investment is secure.

Termites vs. Ants: Know the Difference

Many homeowners confuse termite swarmers with flying ants. Here’s a quick comparison:

If you see any swarming insect in or around your home, it’s best to call a professional right away for identification and next steps.

When Should You Schedule a Termite Inspection?

The best time to protect your home from termites is before they show up. However, schedule an inspection immediately if:

  • You’ve noticed signs of wood damage or mud tubes

  • Your neighbors have had termite issues

  • You’re buying or selling a home

  • It’s been more than a year since your last inspection

Pointe Pest Control offers free termite inspections, with no obligation. If treatment is needed, we’ll provide a detailed plan so you can make the best decision for your home.

Conclusion: Stop Termites Before They Start

Termites cause billions of dollars in damage each year—and homeowner insurance often doesn’t cover it. That’s why proactive, professional protection is essential. With advanced tools like Sentricon®, ongoing monitoring, and guaranteed service, Pointe Pest Control is your first and last line of defense against these destructive pests.

Don’t wait for the damage to show—stop termites before they start.
