Termite inspections and treatment plans that protect homes and businesses in Helena, Pelham, Hoover, Birmingham, and nearby communities.
Termites are quiet. They feed on the wood inside your walls, floors, and framing for months or even years before most people see a single one. Alabama’s warm, humid weather gives subterranean termites exactly what they need to thrive, which is why regular inspections matter so much in our area. Unlike a storm or a leak, termite damage can go unnoticed until repairs are expensive.
Knowing the warning signs helps you catch a problem early. Look for pencil-sized mud tubes running along your foundation, piers, or crawl space walls. In spring, you may notice swarms of winged termites near windows and doors, or piles of discarded wings on sills. Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, paint that bubbles, or floors that feel soft can also point to termite activity. Even if you have not seen any of these signs, an inspection is the best way to know for sure.
Empower Pest Solutions starts with a thorough termite inspection of your property, inside and out. If we find termites or conditions that attract them, like moisture, wood touching soil, or mulch piled against the foundation, we explain what we found and build a treatment plan that fits your home or building. Our goal is to treat the source and give you long-term, preventative protection instead of a short-term fix.
We are Birmingham’s woman-owned and operated pest control company, with 10 years of experience and licensed, insured technicians. Termite control is available for homes through our residential pest control services and for businesses through our commercial pest control plans.
We check your foundation, crawl space, and wood for termites and conducive conditions.
Every plan is built around your property and the level of activity we find.
Preventative treatments that target the source to keep termites from coming back.
Common signs include mud tubes on your foundation or walls, swarms of winged insects in spring, discarded wings near windows and doors, and wood that sounds hollow or feels soft. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection.
Subterranean termites usually swarm in the spring, often on warm days after a rain. A swarm inside your home is a strong sign that a colony is active nearby.
We recommend a yearly inspection for most homes and buildings in Central Alabama. Regular inspections help catch activity early, before it turns into serious structural damage.
Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a thick waist, and two pairs of wings that are the same length. Flying ants have bent antennae, a pinched waist, and wings of different sizes. If you are unsure, we are happy to take a look.
