Common Termites in Illinois

Our Advanced Termite Elimination Process
We understand that termite control is a job for seasoned professionals like Terminix Anderson. Our eco-friendly approach guarantees responsible and effective termite elimination, protecting both your home and the environment. This is what our process looks like:
1. Comprehensive Inspection and Tailored Plan
Our expert termite exterminators will conduct a thorough, multi-point inspection of your property. We assess potential vulnerabilities and entry points, especially in moisture-damaged areas that are prime termite targets. This detailed evaluation allows us to craft a customized treatment plan that addresses your space’s unique needs.
2. Treatment Implementation
We deploy our termite elimination strategy with precision and care, utilizing the latest eco-effective techniques. Our process may include bait stations, advanced liquid treatments, and barriers.
3. Ongoing Monitoring and Protection
Our commitment doesn’t end with initial treatment. We offer annual multi-point inspections (to detect any new termite activity), bait station servicing, and renewals of your comprehensive warranty or guarantee.
Termite Treatments
Two of our most effective treatments against termites include:
1. Advanced Termite Baiting Systems
- Strategically placed, low-profile bait stations around your property
- Termites carry the bait back to their colony, eliminating it at the source
- Continuous protection against future infestations
2. Precision Liquid Treatments
- Creates a protective barrier in the soil around your home
- We access hard-to-reach areas, even drilling through concrete when necessary
- Termites spread the treatment throughout their colony, for total elimination
Certified Green Pest Control
Our new GreenPro designation means that we comply with the procedures and systems established by the NPMA’s GreenPro Committee to ensure that our customers receive responsible, eco-effective service.
Professional Termite Inspections
Moisture-damaged homes, particularly those that have weathered ice, snow, and rain during the winter, are prime termite targets. Once these pests enter the structure, they inflict continuous damage. The NPMA encourages consumers to obtain termite inspections or a wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspection during the home buying process, and every 1-3 years while living in the home. Termite inspectors are trained to recognize signs of current or past infestations. They will also look for any conditions in the home that may attract termites in the future.
Termite Infestation Signs
Some indications you may need a termite exterminator:
- Finding a temporary swarm of winged insects in your home or from the soil around your home.
- Any cracked or bubbling paint.
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped.
- Mud tubes (about the size of a pencil) on exterior walls, wooden beams, or in crawl spaces.
- Discarded wings from swarmers.
- Frass (termite droppings), which look like sawdust near wood structures.
- Faint clicking or rustling sounds within walls.
All of these signs indicate that termite removal by a licensed termite exterminator is necessary.
Tips for Termite Elimination
Whether you’ve owned your home for 20 years or are new to homeownership, the NPMA offers the following termite-prevention tips:
- Keep basements, attics, and crawl spaces well-ventilated and dry.
- Repair leaking faucets and water pipes in the home, as well as AC units located outside.
