Termites are common in Central Indiana and far easier to deal with when they're caught early. The Bug Boss — termite control is in our name — has protected Indianapolis homes for over 25 years with thorough inspections, proven treatments, and a 1-year guarantee.
"Quick and to the point. I needed this for a refinance on my VA loan. I had a busy week coming up so he came that evening."
Indiana homes are almost entirely up against subterranean termites — and they do their damage out of sight.
Subterranean termites live in the soil and build pencil-width mud tubes to travel from the ground into the wood of your home. They eat wood from the inside out, so a beam can look fine on the surface while it's hollow underneath. By the time most homeowners notice, the colony has been working for a while.
The clearest warning sign in Indianapolis comes in spring: warm days trigger a swarm of winged termites, often near windows or light fixtures, leaving little piles of discarded wings behind. Other signs are mud tubes on the foundation, wood that sounds hollow when you tap it, and floors or trim that suddenly feel soft.
Termites are the highest-stakes pest a home faces — they cause structural damage no insurance policy covers. The good news: caught early, they're very treatable. That's why a free inspection is worth it even if you're only a little suspicious.
We find termites and we get rid of them — then we make sure they don't come back. Here's exactly how that works.
