Mud tubes running up your foundation are subterranean termites building a protected path from the soil to the wood framing — our inspection traces every tube back to its source before we quote a barrier treatment. Termite damage isn't covered by most homeowner insurance policies, which makes early detection in Ketchikan properties a real financial issue, not just a cosmetic one.
A full inspection includes a wood-destroying organism report suitable for real estate closings, at no charge.


Our Termite Control crew is certified specifically for termiticide application, not general pest work.
Swarm season calls get priority scheduling since active swarmers mean a mature colony needs attention quickly.
You'll see one written quote before any termiticide is applied — no per-visit billing surprises.
We use moisture meters, sounding hammers, and sometimes thermal imaging to find damage hidden behind finished walls.
Subterranean colonies travel through soil, so barrier treatment is mapped around the entire structure's perimeter.
Stations use a slow-acting bait that colony members share, which can eliminate the nest rather than just the visible tubes.
We identify drywood frass (small pellet droppings) to pinpoint exactly which framing member needs treatment.
We provide a full written wood-destroying organism report accepted by most lenders as part of closing documents.
We document damage severity so you or your contractor know which framing needs structural attention.
Commercial properties get scheduled monitoring and renewal treatment under a documented termite protection plan.

Tell dispatch whether it's a swarm sighting or existing damage; swarm calls get expedited scheduling.
A technician arrives with moisture meters and inspection tools ready to check the foundation, crawl space, and framing.
Inspection results in a written treatment plan and price, whether that's a liquid barrier or bait station system.
Treatment is applied the same visit when possible, with monitoring visits scheduled to confirm the colony is gone.
The WDO report they provided was exactly what our lender needed for closing — saved us from a delay.
Knowing the difference between drywood and subterranean species mattered — our treatment was completely different than what a neighbor got for the same symptom.
Our office building needed a termite protection plan for insurance purposes and Nex Pest Control set up recurring monitoring with documented reports.
We were about to list our house when the pre-listing inspection caught early subterranean activity — glad it was found before a buyer's inspector did.

No matter which Ketchikan neighborhood you're in, a technician equipped for termite-specific work can reach you within days, often sooner. We cover single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial properties across Ketchikan with the same inspection standard and documentation.

Termite wings are equal in length and shed easily near a single point, while ant wings are uneven in size — a technician can confirm on site.
Treatment differs by species — subterranean gets a soil barrier or bait stations, drywood often gets localized wood treatment.
Most lenders require a wood-destroying organism report as part of closing, and we provide one with full documentation.
Longevity depends on the product used and soil conditions, which we'll explain based on what's applied to your property.
Most subterranean treatments are done outside the structure, so interior disruption is minimal.
If monitoring shows continued activity, we return and address it at no additional charge under your plan.
