Termite Solutions
Termites are often referred to as “silent destroyers” because you can’t always see their colonies or damage. However, they’re responsible for more damage to homes each year than tornadoes, fires, and earthquakes COMBINED. And your homeowner’s insurance policy may not even cover the damage if your house gets hit by these wood destroying insects. Get smart.

What are termites? Why are they bad?
Termites eat houses. That’s why they’re considered pests. In nature, they’re super important decomposers that clean up our Earth’s decaying plants. They can do a lot of damage to houses though. But the good news is that there’s a completely green termite solution that will eliminate and prevent subterranean termites without a single chemical.
Termites are soft bodied insects that feed on cellulose and dead plant material, both of which are found in the average home construction. Cellulose includes items like wood, newspapers, cardboard, denim, books, rotting logs and more. Termites thrive in colonies and can breed quickly, with some termite queens laying millions of eggs per year. Termites can be found in every U.S. state except Alaska, and there are over 50 known species. However, Midwest homeowners mainly need to worry about the Subterranean Termite.
A Trusted Leader in Termite Services
Although termites are most commonly a pest during warm, wet seasons, they can be a year-round threat to your home’s integrity. Rose Pest Solutions’ termite control services give Midwest property owners protection and peace of mind. Our service starts with a thorough termite inspection followed by a customized termite solution that makes the most sense for your property.
- Sentricon Colony Elimination System – Sentricon is Corteva’s proven termite colony elimination system. This termite treatment is completely green to rid your property of termites if you already have them. It also does a stellar job at preventing termite infestations with the same genius baiting complex that continues to protect your property as long as it’s in the ground. It’s discreet, environmentally responsible, guaranteed, and available to you by our expert authorized operators as part of our Healthy Home Maintenance Program + Sentricon service option.
- Termidor – Termidor is one of America’s top choices for conventional termite treatments. In scenarios where Sentricon is not the best fit for the property, this is the top of the line alternative. Our staff experts are specifically trained to use this product to eliminate termite colonies. It has been used for years around exterior perimeters, and it clings to the soil to kill termites. Termites don’t know it’s there and are eliminated by eating material treated with Termidor, as well as by the transfer of the ingested material from other termites in the colony.
What are the signs of termites?
Because subterranean termite live underground, it’s difficult to detect them. Many times, homeowners don’t notice they have termites until after the damage has already been done and presented itself. If you have any doubts, please reach out to us. That’s what we’re here for. Here are some common warning signs of termites:
- Mud tubes around baseboards, beneath flooring, or behind siding (drinking straw width)
- Discarded termite wings after swarming
- Swarming or dead termites surrounding your home’s foundation
- Termite droppings (they look like sawdust, salt, pepper, or coffee grounds)
- Hollowed or damaged wood with a honeycomb appearance
- Blisters or dark areas in your wood flooring
- Discolored, drooping, or damaged drywall
- Peeling, bubbling, or cracked paint (similar to water damage)
