TERMITE CONTROL
Choosing the Right Termite Control Method
The type of activity, its extent and accessibility guide the recommendation. Start with an inspection rather than choosing a treatment in advance.
When to Consider Termite Control
Every property has a different history. Here are some reasons to discuss termite control with the Vanguard team.
01
You have found possible signs
Photograph what you noticed and request an evaluation. Evidence needs to be considered in the context of the property.
02
You have a termite report
Share the findings, previous work and your goals. Ask the team to explain the proposed options and their limits.
03
You manage an occupied property
Provide tenant, access and scheduling details early so the proposed work can be planned around the building.
UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE
How We Assess Termite Activity & Treatment Options
Termite control is not a single method that fits every building. An inspection helps establish the nature of the concern and which parts of the property can be evaluated. The recommendation should connect those findings to a defined scope.
Identify before treating
Tell the inspector where evidence was found and whether the property has a history of treatment or repairs. Previous reports can help explain the context.
Understand what is included
Ask which locations are covered, what preparation is needed, which services are separate and what follow-up or written warranty applies.

PRICING & SCOPE
Termite Control Estimates & Scope
Cost depends on the recommended approach, extent of activity, access and scope. An inspection helps the team give an estimate that relates to your property. Compare included work, preparation and follow-up as well as price.
Ask which services are included, what is excluded, and which written warranty or follow-up terms apply.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Termite Control FAQs
How do I know which treatment I need?
Start with an inspection. The recommendation depends on the property findings, type of activity, extent and access.
Are signs of damage proof of active termites?
Not necessarily. An inspection can help distinguish observed damage and evidence from current activity and identify where further evaluation is needed.
Can I send an existing report?
Contact the office and share the report details. The team will confirm whether a new inspection or site visit is needed before proposing work.
Do all treatments require tenting?
No. Local treatment and fumigation are different approaches. Suitability is determined by the findings and proposed scope.
What about termite-damaged wood?
Repair is separate from controlling activity. Ask the team to assess the damaged materials and explain any proposed repair scope.
How do I arrange the next step?
Call the appropriate branch or complete the request form. The office will follow up to confirm availability and appointment details.
