Our Termite Prevention Methods
Our expert team of termite professionals develop unique strategies to guarantee that your residence will stay termite-free. Instead of using inferior baiting methods recommended by other pest companies, we utilize Termidor liquid treatment. Termidor is the best termite control product in the industry. We believe a liquid barrier treatment is the ONLY option for protection against these wood-eating destroyers. Rather than relying on attracting termites to poison a colony, Termidor creates an invisible barrier that protects your entire property.
What is Termidor?
Termidor is a powerful, long-lasting solution that termites cannot detect, making it impossible for them to avoid. Unlike traditional termite baiting, Termidor works by bonding to exposed termites, who return to the colony with the treatment. This widespread exposure leads to the destruction of the entire termite colony.
How effective is Termidor? USDA Forest Service tests show no sign of re-infestation more than 15 years after treatment. In addition, Termidor is safe to both pets and humans. It’s odorless, so you won’t even notice it’s there.
Why trust a liquid termite treatment?
Liquid termite barriers don’t rely on the hope that subterranean termites are attracted to bait. Instead, termites will inadvertently come into contact with the treatment as they seek out wooden structures to feed upon. Liquid barriers are also long-lasting and do not require regular refilling as bait stations would. Because termites carry the Termidor treatment back to their nests, you can trust that a single point of exposure will lead to the destruction of a termite colony.
Potential Signs of Termite Damage
Structural Signs
Termites in Tennessee eat away at your home’s infrastructure. Many of the symptoms of a termite inspection involve weakening of wood throughout your home. Look out for many of the following:
- Discolored or drooping walls or ceiling
- Peeling or bubbling paint resembling water damage
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Pinpoint holes in drywall
- Sagging or buckling floors
- Excessively squeaky floorboards
- Sticking or jammed windows or doors (termites deform the frames)
Biological Signs
Termites also leave behind signs of their biological functions when they infest your home. These signs include:
- Mud tubes creeping up the foundation of your home
- Maze-like patterns in furniture, floorboards, or walls
- Mounds of drywood termite pellets, often resembling small piles of pepper
- Piles of wings resembling fish scales

Termites In Tennessee Versus Termites in California
Termites are one of the most destructive pests found in Tennessee and California. While there are different climate types in each of these states, both states have regions in which different species of termites thrive. Regardless of the species of termite, termite control treatments are unchanging, but may result in different application methods.
If you’ve moved from California to Tennessee, then you know that Termite Protection is a necessity as a home or business owner. While in California, you may have become accustomed to protecting your home from Drywood Termites. Drywood Termites are known to infest above-ground wood that is free from moisture, which typically includes attic framework, wall studs, window beams, furniture, or wooden items within or around the home.
Subterranean Termites are the most common species of termites in Tennessee. Subterranean Termites thrive in regions of higher moisture and humidity levels. This species of termites live in colonies underground and build tunnels out of mud to obtain above-ground food sources. Tennesseans commonly experience structural damage from Termites around the foundation of buildings, inside of crawlspaces, on floor joists, beams, and the subflooring of structures.
No structure or property is protected from termites if left untreated. Subterranean Termites in Tennessee can cause a significant amount of damage to structures and buildings. Dampwood Termites are also a threat in Tennessee. U.S. Pest Protection Termite Professionals in Tennessee apply a highly affective, liquid termiticide treatment to protect, control, and prevent termites and the potential damage that they can impose upon structures and properties.
U.S. Pest Protection Termite Professionals use Termidor HE and specific treatment methods to protect thousands of homes and businesses across Middle Tennessee. Due to Subterranean Termites living underground, these chemical treatments are applied into the soil around building structures and properties. Concrete or asphalt foundations are drilled to ensure protection on sides of structures that soil is covered up, such as driveways, patios, and sidewalks.
In conclusion, property owners in Tennessee should be aware of the presence of termites and the damage that they can impose on your structure or property if left untreated. It’s always better to pay for the protection, than to pay for the potential damage.

Don’t Let Termites Take a Bite Out of Tennessee: Stay Alert and Call U.S. Pest
Residents of Tennessee are on high alert as reports of termite swarms continue to spread across the state. These massive infestations of the destructive insects are causing alarm and concern, with experts warning that the damage they can cause is extensive and potentially irreparable.
Termite swarms, in which the insects leave their nests to mate and start new colonies, are a sure sign of a larger infestation. And with warm, humid climates like those found in Tennessee, the state has become a prime location for termite nests and swarms.
Once inside a building, termites can quickly begin to eat away at the structural integrity of the property, causing extensive damage that can be costly to repair. And because termites are often hidden from sight, their damage can go unnoticed for months or even years, making it even more critical for residents to stay vigilant and take steps to protect their homes and businesses. Businesses such as kitchens & restaurants, offices, retail stores, and even warehouses are of the businesses that may be too busy to even notice or remember to check if their establishments are protected from such pests.
If you see termites swarming near your property, or if you suspect that your home or business may be infested, it’s important to act quickly. Contact a professional pest control company like U.S. Pest to conduct a thorough inspection and develop a plan to get rid of the pests and prevent future infestations.
Don’t wait until it’s too late – with termite swarms on the rise in Tennessee, now is the time to take action and protect your property from these destructive insects with Termite solutions and services from U.S. Pest Protection.
U.S. Pest’s Superior Termiticide Liquid Treatment – Termidor: The Most Trusted & Powerful Termite Control Solution
If you’re a homeowner in Tennessee, the last thing you want is to have your house invaded by pesky termites. These tiny insects can cause significant damage to your property, leading to costly repairs and potential safety hazards. So, what can you do to prevent this nightmare scenario from happening? The answer is simple: ask for Termidor by name when choosing termite protection or just call U.S. Pest. Termidor is the only solution we offer our customers.
Termidor is a powerful termite control solution that has been trusted by homeowners and professionals alike for over 20 years and over 10,000,000 homes in the United States. Its unique and active ingredient, fipronil, targets termites directly and eliminates them at the source. Unlike other treatments that only repel or deter termites, Termidor is lethal to these destructive insects, ensuring long-lasting protection for your home.
One of the main advantages of Termidor is its transfer effect. When termites come into contact with Termidor-treated areas, they become carriers of the active ingredient, spreading it to their nestmates through grooming and feeding. This means that even if only a small portion of the termite colony is exposed to Termidor, the entire colony can be eliminated, leading to complete termite control. There are up to 5 colonies per EVERY acre in Tennessee.
But why should you ask for Termidor specifically? Well, for starters, not all termite control solutions are created equal. Some products on the market may claim to be as effective as Termidor, but they simply DON’T have the same track record of success. Termidor has been extensively tested and proven to provide superior termite control in a wide range of scenarios, from pre-construction to post-construction treatments.
Furthermore, only licensed professionals are authorized to apply Termidor, ensuring that the product is used correctly and safely. This means that you can trust that your home is in good hands when you choose U.S. Pest and Termidor for your termite protection needs.
So, if you want to protect your home from termites, don’t settle for less than the best. Call U.S. Pest and know that your home is well-protected from these destructive pests. After all, your home is your biggest investment, and you want to do everything you can to keep it safe and secure.
