What Counts As A Termite Emergency?
A termite emergency usually means active swarmers indoors, rapidly spreading damage, crumbling wood, or a floor or ceiling that feels weak. These signs suggest a colony is feeding now, so a prompt inspection matters more than waiting for a routine appointment, even though termites rarely damage a home in a single day.
Who Do I Call For Emergency Termite Treatment?
For emergency termite treatment, call the number on this page at any time, because calls are answered 24/7 across Florida, Georgia, and Texas. One call connects you with a local pro who serves your city, so you do not need to search for a separate emergency number for your state.
What Should I Do While Waiting For A Pro?
While waiting for a pro, keep children and pets away from damaged wood, avoid disturbing mud tubes or spraying the area, and take photos of swarmers, wings, or pellets if you can do so safely. Note when you first saw the signs and where they are, because that helps the pro focus the inspection.
Is Emergency Treatment Different From Normal Treatment?
Emergency treatment uses the same methods as normal treatment, such as liquid barriers, bait stations, borate treatment, or spot foam, but the inspection and first treatment happen sooner. The urgency changes the timing, not the science, and follow-up monitoring still matters after the first visit. The pro still inspects first, because the species and the home decide which method fits best.
Which States Have Emergency Termite Pages?
Emergency termite pages are available for every city we serve in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, which totals 150 cities across the three states. From this hub, choose your state, then your city, to reach the emergency page that lists local signs, first-hour steps, and nearby emergency pages. Each state group on the hub lists every city emergency page for that state, in one place.
Can Termites Spread To Neighbouring Homes?
Termites can spread to neighbouring homes when a mature colony sends out swarmers that settle in nearby wood, especially where homes share fences, decks, or damp soil. A swarm in one home does not prove a neighbour has termites, but neighbours with similar wood and moisture conditions should also arrange a check.
What If I Find Termites On A Weekend?
If you find termites on a weekend, call anyway, because calls are answered 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. A local pro can advise whether the signs need an urgent visit or can wait for a routine inspection, and can arrange the next available check for your city. Weekend calls follow the same process, with a local pro advising on urgency and the next check.
How Do I Find My City's Emergency Page?
To find your city's emergency page, use the state groups on this page, choose Florida, Georgia, or Texas, then choose your city from the cards. Each city emergency page links back to its normal city page and to the emergency pages of the six nearest cities we serve. The hub also links every city emergency page, so you can move from state to city without searching again.
What Information Should I Give When I Call?
When you call, give your city and ZIP code, what you saw, where you saw it, and when it first appeared, plus whether swarmers are still active. That information helps the team connect you with a local pro who serves your area and prepare the right inspection for your home.
