Discarded wings near a window in spring is a termite swarm, not flying ants, and it means a mature colony is already established somewhere in the structure. A colony can feed on structural wood for years before any visible sign appears on the surface, which is why routine inspection matters even without an active swarm.
We check the sill plate, foundation cracks, and crawl space for mud tubes and wood-to-soil contact before recommending treatment.


Every technician performing Troutman termite inspections carries state licensing for wood-destroying organism reporting.
We keep inspection slots open same-week for Troutman homeowners seeing mud tubes or wings near windows.
Liquid barrier and bait station pricing is quoted after inspection, tied to linear footage and species found.
Our inspection kit includes bore-scopes for checking wall voids without cutting into drywall unnecessarily.
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.
Drywood termites don't need soil contact, so treatment targets the specific wood member, often with localized injection.
We provide a full written wood-destroying organism report accepted by most lenders as part of closing documents.
Moisture meters and sounding tools help us map the extent of existing damage before recommending repairs.
We set up recurring inspection schedules for Troutman commercial buildings with reports for property records.

Tell dispatch whether it's a swarm sighting or existing damage; swarm calls get expedited scheduling.
Our mobile units carry both liquid termiticide and bait station equipment for Troutman termite calls.
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.
Found mud tubes on the foundation during a routine check and Nex Pest Control had an inspector out within two days with a full written report.
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.
Bait stations were installed along our property line and the quarterly monitoring checks have been reassuring ever since.

Nex Pest Control dispatches termite-certified technicians throughout Troutman and nearby communities for both inspections and treatment. We cover single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial properties across Troutman with the same inspection standard and documentation.

Termite swarmers have straight antennae and a thick waist, unlike the bent antennae and pinched waist of flying ants.
Subterranean termites need soil contact and build mud tubes, while drywood termites live entirely inside dry wood without soil access.
Yes, a WDO report is standard for most real estate transactions and we can usually schedule it within a few days.
Longevity depends on the product used and soil conditions, which we'll explain based on what's applied to your property.
Exterior barrier treatment usually doesn't require leaving the home, but we'll tell you specifically if your treatment plan does.
Our guarantee covers a free re-treatment if activity returns within the stated window on your service agreement.
