How long will termite treatment take?
The length of your termite treatment depends upon the size of the building, of course. For a typical residence, this can often be done in one day!
How long is my warranty after an Eliminite Termite Services visit?
The length of your warranty depends on the service you have purchased from us. For Escrow & Real Estate termite services, warranties are typically for 1 year from service. For non-escrow treatments, warranties are 2 years. Before your warranty expires, our Protection Program allows you to renew it for a small additional fee on an annual basis.
Will termites come back?
Termites are persistent little things, and they can come back at a later date. For this reason, we typically recommend that building owners check for termites as often as possible. As advocates for our customers, we encourage them to have us come back for an annual inspection before their warranty with us ends, to keep things great and termite-free.
How can you tell if I have termites behind my walls?
We use advanced technology to find termites in the most hidden of places. Through our partnership with Termatrac, we use thermal imaging equipment to scan the walls where necessary – this allows us to determine if there are termites within those walls. This is something we do before we treat your home and after, to confirm mission accomplished and that there is no further movement.
Termites will always leave evidence. Even if a termite is new to the neighborhood (your building), they will leave a substance called “frass”. Our inspectors are highly trained and know exactly what to look for. Not only will we find the evidence, if it’s there, we can catch it early on. Our confidence in this technology is why we are able to offer a full structural warranty after we have provided termite control for you.
Can I purchase D-Liminite Orange Oil products for my own use?
If you are a licensed operator, absolutely! Currently, D-Liminite Orange Oil is not available for sale to the public, but stay tuned for some developments on that front.
If orange oil isn’t highly toxic, can it still do the job??
Absolutely – that’s why we use it! We have built our business on providing a more comforting alternative to termite removal. With orange oil, we can provide the same level of organic termite control services, just in a more environmentally friendly way.
What is orange oil?
Great question! Orange oil is derived from essential oils of an orange peel. It’s an organic alternative to the pesticide-heavy synthetic products traditionally associated with termite control. Most importantly, it’s child and pet-friendly, and YOU-friendly! When we use orange oil in your treatment, you can stay home rather than flee the scene!

How much does termite treatment cost?
Termite treatment depends on a few variables – amount of infestation, types of infestation, and the size of the structure we’re treating. A rough estimate would be about $1/sq. foot, however, we won’t know exact numbers until see what you need to make termite-free! It’s worth noting that, for our system, the larger the home, the more we can bring that average down. If you would like a complimentary termite inspection or quote from our team, please do not hesitate to call us.
What are the signs of termite infestation?
Different termites leave different clues as to their presence. For example: drywood termites leave pellets. Other people will see what they think is dust or pepper on their tables or on the ground.

Why are termites dangerous?
Termites cause more damage to structures than any other naturally occurring thing in the world! Termites weaken the integrity of the wood around you. In addition to the problems termites themselves cause, by continuing to eat the wood, they open the building to other types of damage once the wood is exposed (fungus, dry rot, etc.)
