Termites cause billions of dollars’ worth of damage to properties each year.
As a home owner, you can spend anywhere between $600 to $3000 for termite damage repairs, and in most cases this will be out of pocket because your home insurance doesn’t cover it. Considering that termites can sometimes go for years undetected, it’s scary to think about the havoc they can wreak when termite infestation goes untreated for a long time.
What’s the best way to control termites and protect yourself from financial setbacks caused by termite damage?
At TopDog Pest we use the best termite control treatment to achieve eradication. Our approach is simple, we lead with our advanced baiting system placed every 10-15 feet around your property, as well as other comprehensive liquid treatments, providing a barrier of protection against termites.
We prefer using both control options to maximize the efficacy of our termite treatment program enabling you to rest easy knowing that you have the best protection against termites that’s available.
How does Tog Dog Pest’s termite control service work?
We usually place the termite baiting systems 10-15 feet apart from each other, creating a perimeter defense around our customers’ homes. Like smoke detectors, these baiting systems alert us whenever active termites are present.
When the termites make their way into the system they are targeted with an active ingredient without their knowledge. They then take the treated bait back to the colony where their queen gets eliminated once she eats the food, leading to the destruction of the entire colony. Once the colony is destroyed we do a follow-up treatment at NO CHARGE giving your home the best protection available.

Moisture Barriers and Treatments
Moisture Control
Most homeowners don’t realize they may have a moisture problem beneath their house until it’s too late. High moisture can cause structural integrity problems due to wood rot and mold. It can also compromise energy efficiency and create electrical hazards. Equally important, excessive moisture can also attract pests like termites and wood destroying beetles.
What is the easiest way to treat excessive moisture beneath your house?
We start by determining the moisture levels and come up with an action plan on how to lower these moisture conditions. In most cases, a high mil poly is installed to limit the rise of moisture to the floors above. In some instances, a dehumidifier may be necessary.
If termites or beetles are present, the treatment may vary. Products like borate and termidor for specific cases come into play. Each home is different, and each treatment varies depending on the inspection outcome.
