Termite Inspection & Treatment in Iowa
Termites can cause serious structural damage before you ever see them. If you suspect termite activity, Evicted Pest Control offers thorough inspections and free estimates.
Common Signs of Termites in Iowa Homes
Termites often stay hidden inside walls, wood, and foundations, which means homeowners usually notice the damage before the pest.
Mud tubes along foundation walls, basement walls, or crawl spaces
Soft, hollow, or damaged wood around trim, floors, or support beams
Swarmers (winged termites) appearing indoors, especially in spring
Discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures
Doors or windows suddenly sticking due to damaged wood and moisture
Small pinholes or blistering in wood surfaces
Where to check for termites
Basement joists and support beams
Wooden window and door frames

What Kind of Termites Are Found in Iowa?
The most common termite species in Iowa is the Eastern Subterranean Termite.
These termites live underground in large colonies and travel through mud tubes to reach wood structures above ground. Because they require moisture to survive, they are often found around:
damp soil
basement foundations
crawl spaces
wood that touches the ground
Unlike ants, termites actually eat wood and cellulose materials, which can lead to expensive structural damage over time.
Our Professional Termite Treatment Process
We begin with a detailed inspection of the home’s foundation, basement, crawl spaces, and any areas showing signs of wood damage or termite activity.
1
inspection
We confirm whether the issue is active termite activity, previous termite damage, or another wood-destroying pest such as carpenter ants.
2
confirmation
Once termite activity is confirmed, we develop a treatment plan based on the infestation location and severity.
3
treatment plan
Professional-grade products are applied around the structure and affected areas to eliminate active termite colonies and prevent continued damage.
4
Treatment application
Because termites can remain hidden, follow-up inspections may be recommended to confirm the colony has been eliminated.
5
Follow-Up Inspection
Termites Don’t Go Away on Their Own.
Subterranean termites work quietly behind walls and under floors. By the time damage becomes visible, the infestation may already be well established. Early detection can help prevent:
structural damage
costly repairs
spread to additional areas of the home
