What it is

Southern Illinois is ideal country for subterranean termites. Humidity, soil contact, wood structures and seasonal rain make homes vulnerable, and even newer homes are not immune. Termites feed on wood from the inside out, so damage can be extensive before you see it.

Store-bought termite sprays may kill the termites you can see, but they miss the colony, the hidden areas and the entry points. Our treatment is built around those.

  • Free, thorough termite inspections.
  • Targeted termite treatments.
  • Preventative barrier systems.
  • Long-term protection plans.

Signs you need it

  • Mud tubes along the foundation or walls.
  • Wood that sounds hollow when you tap it.
  • Discarded wings near windowsills, or swarms of small winged insects near windows and lights in spring.
  • Buckling paint or bubbling surfaces.
  • Sagging floors or doors that stick.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars for this review. After working with another pest control service for 3+ years with no real solution to my spider issues, I decided to give SpotOn Pest Control a try. I am so happy that I did! After completing an inspection, they found that I not only had a spider problem but also a mouse in my pool house. If that wasn’t enough, they (thankfully) also discovered that I had early stages of termites as well as the start of some mold. They immediately resolved every issue. Every single technician I have encountered is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would strongly recommend SpotOn for any pest issue that you are dealing with and can confidently say that you will not regret that decision. I wish I had found them several years before I did!!

My experience with this company was nothing but good; they are highly professional and got to the job in a timely manner. The price for termite treatment was competitive, but for the service and professionalism, it was definitely on the low end. Thanks, spot on!

Highly recommend SpotOn. They encapsulated my crawlspace and remediated mold and termite damage. They also treated the perimeter of my house with termite prevention. Great staff and overall experience! Definitely recommend them for anyone needing pest or crawlspace issues.

Questions

When is termite swarmer season in Southern Illinois?

Termite season usually begins in early spring and can continue through summer. The most active time is usually between March and June. Swarmers do not always mean a major infestation, but they do mean termites are active in your area.

How do I tell termites from flying ants?

Termites have straight antennae, wings of equal length and a thick, straight waist. Flying ants have bent antennae, a narrow waist and wings of uneven size.

Why does DIY termite treatment not work?

Store-bought sprays may kill the termites you can see, but they often fail to eliminate the colony, the hidden infestation areas, the entry points and long-term activity.

Is the termite inspection free?

Yes. Talk to us, call, or send the form and we will arrange your free termite inspection.
