Termites are cellulose-eating insects known for consuming wood flooring and wallpaper. Monticello Pest Solutions is your local pest expert ready to help you with prevention, inspections, protection, and treatment.

We are an approved vendor for The Sentricon® termite system and strongly recommend installing this system at your home or business for the most effective prevention of termites.
What are termites?
Termites are often referred to as “silent destroyers” due to their small size and difficulty to detect. Despite being so inconspicuous, they are one of the most destructive pests, capable of inflicting major structural damage to your house or business if left untreated. Prevention and/or early detection is crucial to prevent costly repairs.
How do I know if my property has termites?
Termites are challenging to detect, but these are some tell-tale signs:
- Mud Tubes: Pencil-sized tunnels near the foundation, walls, or crawl spaces.
- Hollow-Sounding Wood: Damaged wood that breaks easily or sounds empty when tapped.
- Discarded Wings: Piles of tiny wings near windows, doors, or light fixtures.
- Termite Droppings (Frass): Small, pellet-like waste near wooden structures.
- Tight-Fitting Doors & Windows: Warped or stiff frames due to termite damage.
