Discarded wings near a window in spring is a termite swarm, not flying ants, and it means a mature colony is already established somewhere in the structure. A colony can feed on structural wood for years before any visible sign appears on the surface, which is why routine inspection matters even without an active swarm.
A full inspection includes a wood-destroying organism report suitable for real estate closings, at no charge.


Our Termite Control crew is certified specifically for termiticide application, not general pest work.
We keep inspection slots open same-week for St. Charles homeowners seeing mud tubes or wings near windows.
Liquid barrier and bait station pricing is quoted after inspection, tied to linear footage and species found.
We use moisture meters, sounding hammers, and sometimes thermal imaging to find damage hidden behind finished walls.
A liquid barrier is trenched and applied along the full foundation line, not just the section where mud tubes were spotted.
Bait stations are placed around the property and checked on a monitoring schedule to catch new activity early.
We identify drywood frass (small pellet droppings) to pinpoint exactly which framing member needs treatment.
Photos of any damage found are included in the report so buyers and agents see exactly what was inspected.
Moisture meters and sounding tools help us map the extent of existing damage before recommending repairs.
Commercial properties get scheduled monitoring and renewal treatment under a documented termite protection plan.

Tell dispatch whether it's a swarm sighting or existing damage; swarm calls get expedited scheduling.
Our mobile units carry both liquid termiticide and bait station equipment for St. Charles termite calls.
We trace mud tubes, check for wood-to-soil contact, and identify subterranean versus drywood species before quoting.
Treatment is applied the same visit when possible, with monitoring visits scheduled to confirm the colony is gone.
The WDO report they provided was exactly what our lender needed for closing — saved us from a delay.
Swarmers showed up near our bedroom window one evening and I panicked. The inspection found a subterranean colony and the liquid barrier was done the same week.
Our office building needed a termite protection plan for insurance purposes and Nex Pest Control set up recurring monitoring with documented reports.
We were about to list our house when the pre-listing inspection caught early subterranean activity — glad it was found before a buyer's inspector did.

Termite wings are equal in length and shed easily near a single point, while ant wings are uneven in size — a technician can confirm on site.
Subterranean termites need soil contact and build mud tubes, while drywood termites live entirely inside dry wood without soil access.
