Why get a termite inspection?

Eastern subterranean termites are the primary termite species in Maine and one of the most destructive pests a homeowner can face. They live in underground colonies that can number in the hundreds of thousands and build mud tubes to reach wood above ground, feeding on structural timbers from the inside out.

Because termites work hidden within walls and foundations, damage can go undetected for years. By the time visible signs appear, thousands of dollars in damage may already be done. Maine's freeze-thaw cycles and older housing stock make homes particularly vulnerable, which is why annual termite inspections make sense, especially for older homes.

Termites and carpenter ants are easy to confuse. Carpenter ants do not eat wood; they excavate it and leave clean, smooth galleries and sawdust-like frass. Termite damage is rough and packed with mud. A professional inspection tells you which one you have.

    Devin is wonderful! Prompt and professional. While it appears there is no problem, he put out some traps to monitor the situation which gave me some peace of mind. I highly recommend Campbell's Pest Control and will always use them in the future.

Common questions

Do you do termite inspections?

Yes. We inspect homes in Augusta, Waterville, Bangor, and nearby towns for signs of termite activity, including mud tubes, damaged wood, and swarmer wings.

Are there termites in Maine?

Yes. Eastern subterranean termites are present in Maine. They live underground and build mud tubes to reach wood, so damage can go undetected for years.

Is it carpenter ants or termites?

Carpenter ant galleries are clean and smooth, while termite damage is rough and packed with mud. If you are not sure which you are dealing with, a professional inspection can tell you.

How often should I get a termite inspection?

Annual termite inspections are a good idea, especially for older homes, since termites work hidden inside walls and foundations.
