Termite damage compounds quietly for years before it's visible; our Melrose, MA inspectors know exactly where to look first. Homeowners insurance almost never covers termite damage, which makes early detection the only real financial protection you have.


Every inspection is conducted by a licensed WDO inspector, with reports formatted for lenders and closings when needed.
When a Melrose, MA customer reports a swarm or visible mud tubes, we move that inspection ahead of routine requests.
You'll see the full cost of liquid termiticide or bait station installation before we start — priced by linear foot of foundation, not guesswork.
Our equipment includes borate wood treatments, termiticide injection rods, and monitoring stations for long-term colony elimination. We also provide a moisture map of the foundation area, since moisture readings often predict where future termite pressure is most likely.
We trench and treat the full foundation line so worker termites carry the termiticide back to the colony itself.
Bait stations give ongoing colony-level monitoring, useful for properties where liquid trenching isn't practical.
Drywood colonies live inside the wood itself, so treatment targets the specific members showing frass or kick-out holes.
We provide official wood-destroying organism reports that satisfy real estate closing and refinance requirements.
Beyond treatment, we assess joist, sill plate, and subfloor damage so you know the full scope before repairs begin.
Termiticide soil treatment applied before slab pour, protecting new construction from day one. Every crew also carries backup moisture meters, since accurate readings are what separate a real diagnosis from a guess.

Describe the signs and their location; that determines whether we're dispatching for subterranean or drywood treatment.
An inspector arrives with moisture meters and acoustic detection tools to confirm activity before recommending treatment.
The full foundation perimeter and accessible wood members are inspected, with findings documented in a written report.
Every treatment includes a documented warranty term and, where applicable, a station-check schedule going forward.
Found mud tubes behind our water heater during a routine check. Inspector caught it before it reached the framing.
Needed a WDO report fast for a closing deadline. Report was in my inbox the same day as the inspection.
Bait stations have been checked every quarter for two years now, exactly as scheduled. No surprises.
They found drywood termites in a rafter we never would have checked. Saved us from a much bigger repair later.
Refinancing required a current WDO report and ours had expired. They got an inspector out within two days to meet the lender deadline.

Licensed inspectors cover Melrose and the wider Melrose, MA region, with scheduling priority given to properties showing active swarms, mud tubes, or real estate transaction deadlines. Older Melrose neighborhoods with mature tree cover tend to carry higher subterranean termite pressure, which shapes how we prioritize inspection requests.

Subterranean colonies need ground moisture and build visible mud tubes, while drywood colonies nest directly inside dry wood members.
Cost varies by foundation size and whether liquid barrier or bait stations are used; we quote in writing after seeing the property.
Most lenders and many state real estate transactions require a current WDO inspection report — we can turn documentation around on your closing timeline.
Non-repellent liquid barriers typically carry a multi-year warranty period, with annual re-inspection recommended.
DIY treatments often scatter the colony instead of eliminating it, which complicates professional treatment down the line.
A swarm event signals the colony has matured enough to reproduce, which is often the first visible sign homeowners notice. It's also worth scheduling an annual re-inspection even after treatment, since new conducive conditions like grading changes can develop over time.
A documented inspection today is cheaper than structural repair later — call to get on the schedule.
