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. Termite damage isn't covered by most homeowner insurance policies, which makes early detection in Washington properties a real financial issue, not just a cosmetic one.
A full inspection includes a wood-destroying organism report suitable for real estate closings, at no charge.


Every technician performing Washington termite inspections carries state licensing for wood-destroying organism reporting.
We keep inspection slots open same-week for Washington 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.
Stations use a slow-acting bait that colony members share, which can eliminate the nest rather than just the visible tubes.
We identify drywood frass (small pellet droppings) to pinpoint exactly which framing member needs treatment.
We provide a full written wood-destroying organism report accepted by most lenders as part of closing documents.
We document damage severity so you or your contractor know which framing needs structural attention.
Commercial properties get scheduled monitoring and renewal treatment under a documented termite protection plan.

Call +1-866-315-0243 and describe what you've seen — mud tubes, wings, or soft wood — so we can prioritize the inspection.
Our mobile units carry both liquid termiticide and bait station equipment for Washington termite calls.
We trace mud tubes, check for wood-to-soil contact, and identify subterranean versus drywood species before quoting.
Guarantee coverage means continued activity within the guarantee window gets a free re-treatment.
The WDO report they provided was exactly what our lender needed for closing — saved us from a delay.
Knowing the difference between drywood and subterranean species mattered — our treatment was completely different than what a neighbor got for the same symptom.
As a property manager, having a bonded termite plan on file made our annual insurance review painless.
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.

Nex Pest Control dispatches termite-certified technicians throughout Washington and nearby communities for both inspections and treatment. We cover single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial properties across Washington with the same inspection standard and documentation.

Termite swarmers have straight antennae and a thick waist, unlike the bent antennae and pinched waist of flying ants.
Treatment differs by species — subterranean gets a soil barrier or bait stations, drywood often gets localized wood treatment.
Most lenders require a wood-destroying organism report as part of closing, and we provide one with full documentation.
Barrier treatments typically hold for several years, with monitoring visits confirming the barrier is still effective.
Most subterranean treatments are done outside the structure, so interior disruption is minimal.
If monitoring shows continued activity, we return and address it at no additional charge under your plan.
