Termites Are Not a Pest Problem to Ignore
Termites work quietly and can damage wood and structural materials long before many property owners notice signs of activity. Because termite damage can become costly, termite control should be handled with careful inspection, proper treatment, and long-term prevention in mind.
Kammermann’s Pest Control provides termite services for residential, commercial, and new construction properties. Whether you are concerned about active termites, need a full termite treatment, want annual protection, or are building a new structure, we can help you understand the best next step.
Signs You May Need Termite Service
When to Call About Termites
Even if you are not sure whether the issue is termites, it is better to have the concern checked. Carpenter ants and termites can sometimes be confused, but they require different treatment approaches.
You should consider calling for termite help if you notice:
- Mud tubes near the foundation or crawl space
- Damaged or hollow-sounding wood
- Discarded wings
- Swarming insects that look like flying ants
- Soft spots in wood or flooring
- Evidence of past termite activity
- A neighboring property with termite issues
- A home purchase or real estate inspection concern
Termites vs Flying Ants
Termite swarmers and winged ants can look surprisingly similar, especially when they appear indoors or gather near windows and doors. Both develop wings when leaving an established colony to reproduce and form new colonies, but several physical characteristics can help distinguish them.
Correct identification is important because termites and ants require different treatment methods. Termites feed on wood and can cause significant property damage, while ants typically nest in soil, wall voids, or damaged wood. If you are unsure which pest you have, Kammermann’s Pest Control can inspect the activity and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Flying Ants

- Wings may not extend far beyond the body
- Commonly swarm when forming new colonies
- Do not consume wood like termites
- Some species excavate wood to create nests
Full Termite Treatment
Termite Treatment Based on the Property
A termite treatment plan depends on the structure, the areas of activity, the foundation, the soil, crawl space access, concrete, and other property conditions. In some situations, a full termite treatment may be needed to properly protect the structure.
Termite work may involve treating soil areas, crawl spaces, foundation areas, and other key points where termites may travel. In some cases, concrete drilling may be required to reach the areas that need treatment.
Our Termite Control
Each year, it is estimated that termites cause over 5 billion dollars in damages within the U.S. alone. Annually termites cause more property damage than floods, fires, hurricanes, and earthquakes combined. These small insects leave a big impact, so don’t let your family or business go unprotected.
Subterranean Termites colonize quickly to destroy architecture and our job is to “beat them to the punch”. That is why at Kammermann's we use the best professional termite product on the market, Termidor. Termidor is a safe, effective liquid barrier that is placed around your home or business that enables termiticide to be transferred to the queen by colonizer termites, eradicating the problem at the source.

Long-Term Termite Protection Matters
Termite control is not only about treating what is visible today. Annual termite service can be an important part of maintaining protection and watching for new activity.
Kammermann’s Pest Control can help explain available termite treatment and guarantee options so you understand what is covered, what is recommended, and how ongoing service can help protect your property.
Pre-Construction Termite Treatment
Building New? Start Termite Protection Before Construction Is Complete.
Pre-construction termite treatment, often called pre-soil treatment, can help protect a new home or commercial building before construction is finished. This treatment is completed at a stage when soil and foundational areas are more accessible, making it an important step before concrete and finished surfaces limit access.
If you are building a new structure, Kammermann’s Pest Control can help you understand when termite treatment should be scheduled and why it matters. Pre-Soil Construction
