What To Expect
When you partner with us to reclaim your property, you can expect a systematic, professional approach designed for the unique challenges of the Montana climate.
1. Inspect
A licensed inspector conducts a thorough assessment of the property, searching for evidence of termite activity, structural damage, and environmental conditions that promote infestations, such as excess moisture or wood-to-soil contact.
Real Estate Agent & Lender Coordination
By working directly with agents, buyers, sellers, and lenders, we ensure seamless compliance and timely reporting protecting property value, meeting all legal requirements, and providing total peace of mind for every party involved.
2. Identify
The technician identifies the termite species present—typically subterranean termites in Western Montana—to determine the most effective treatment strategy.
3. Pre-Treat or Treat
Following the inspection, we create a customized treatment plan. Depending on the findings, our approach may include one or more of the following proven methods:
- Liquid Barrier Treatment: Application of termiticide to the soil around the foundation, creating a protective barrier that kills or repels termites.
- Bait Stations: Placement of bait stations around the property. Termites consume the bait and carry it back to their colony, gradually eliminating the infestation.
- Direct Wood Treatment: Direct application of termiticides to affected wood or termite galleries to eliminate active termites.
4. Prevent and Support
After treatment, our technicians share tailored recommendations for repairs and preventive measures, like reducing moisture, removing wood debris, fixing leaks, and maintaining proper drainage. We also offer annual inspections, ongoing monitoring, and continued support for property owners, buyers, and sellers to ensure lasting protection.

How do I know if I have gophers, voles, or ground squirrels?
