Termite Treatment & Protection in Rochester Hills
Termites cause more structural damage to American homes than fires, floods, and storms combined. They work silently, eating wood 24 hours a day, and most homeowners don’t notice until damage is severe. Rochester Hills properties built before 1990 are especially at risk.
Eastern Subterranean Termites in Michigan
The termites in Oakland County are subterranean—they live underground and build mud tubes to access wood in your home. A mature colony contains hundreds of thousands of workers, each consuming wood fiber continuously. One colony can cause serious structural damage within a few years.
Warning Signs of Termite Activity
- Mud tubes on foundation walls or in crawl spaces
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Discarded wings near windows or doors (swarm season)
- Bubbling or peeling paint that resembles water damage
- Tight-fitting doors or windows from warped frames
