Our Termite Inspection Process

Termites live underground, eating anything that contains cellulose, such as trees, paper, and wooden housing infrastructure. Fortunately, the eastern subterranean termites common to the Boston area do not require tenting and fumigation to treat. Instead, you can control them by treating the ground around your property’s foundation.

Here’s how the termite inspection process works at GreenHow:

Free Termite Inspection

Our team offers free termite inspections within 48 hours of your call. We’ll need to inspect your basement, crawl spaces, garage, and first floor, so try to pull any stored items away from your foundation and open any crawl spaces prior to inspection.

Termite Inspection at the Foundation of the Home or Business

Beginning at the lowest level of the home, our inspection crew will work methodically around the perimeter to probe test the wood. We’ll look for evidence of mud against the foundation or in and around any wood. Then, we’ll inspect other areas like form boards, utility line entries, and cracks in the foundation.

Begin Non-Invasive Termite Treatment

Since Boston area termites don’t require fumigation, you can remain at home throughout the entire termite treatment process. Depending on the severity, we offer several termite solutions that may be used either individually or together.

FAQs

Do I need to leave my home during termite treatment?

No. Eastern Massachusetts homes are most often affected by eastern subterranean termites. These termites do not require tenting or fumigation to treat. Greenhow applies treatment to the soil around your foundation. You can stay home for the entire process.

How much does termite treatment cost in Eastern Massachusetts?

Treatment costs depend on your home size and the method used. Liquid barrier treatment typically runs $680 to $2,720 for most homes. A bait station system like the Sentricon® system averages $800 to $1,500 to install, plus $200 to $400 per year for monitoring. Greenhow will recommend the right fit after your free inspection, with no pressure to buy more than you need.

How long does termite treatment take?

A standard Greenhow inspection takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Treatment time depends on your home size and method chosen. Liquid barrier treatment is typically completed in a single visit. Sentricon® stations are installed in one visit and then monitored on a schedule that works for you.

Are Greenhow’s termite treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Greenhow selects every treatment product for the lowest possible risk to people, pets, and pollinators. The company is GreenPro Certified and Green Shield Certified, and all products are verified by outside auditors. You never have to worry about harsh chemicals in your home.

How do I know if I have termites or carpenter ants?

Both pests can damage wood, but the signs differ. Termites leave mud tubes along your foundation and produce small, pellet-like droppings. Carpenter ants push out coarse sawdust and do not build mud tunnels. If you are not sure which pest you have, call Greenhow. Our technicians will identify the problem at no charge.

How often should I get a termite inspection in Massachusetts?

Pest control professionals recommend annual inspections for most Massachusetts homes. If your home has had a prior infestation or sits in a high-moisture area, bi-annual checks provide better protection. Greenhow offers inspection and warranty plans starting at $200 to $400 per year, so ongoing protection stays affordable.
