The Dangers of Termite Damage

No matter the age, construction, or location of your home, it is vulnerable to subterranean termites. These pests silently invade structures, often going undetected until significant damage has occurred.
How Termites Enter Your Home
Termites can squeeze through openings as small as 1/32 of an inch, making expansion joints, foundation cracks, and plumbing gaps common entry points. Once inside, they feed on wood and other cellulose materials, weakening structural integrity over time.
Kentucky's High Risk for Termites
Due to Lexington's warm and humid climate, termite activity is a year-round threat. Kentucky falls into a high-risk category for infestations, making proactive termite control essential for homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have termites in my home?
Common signs include mud tubes along foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows or doors, and frass (droppings) resembling sawdust. A professional inspection is the most reliable way to confirm termite activity.
What termite treatment options does Berner Pest Solutions offer?
We offer two proven treatment options tailored to your situation. Trelona® ATBS Annual Bait Stations are installed around your property and inspected annually: a targeted, low-impact approach that eliminates termite colonies from the inside out with minimal chemical use. Termidor® HE Liquid & Foam Treatments provide fast-acting barrier protection applied to the soil around your foundation and into wall voids where needed, highly effective for active infestations that require immediate results. During your free inspection, we’ll recommend the right method (or a combination of both) based on what we find.
How long does it take for termite treatment to work?
Treatment timelines depend on the method used. Trelona bait stations are inspected annually, with additional monitoring if termite activity warrants it. Active infestations are typically resolved within 3-6 months. Termidor HE liquid and foam treatments work faster, often eliminating active colonies within 30-90 days. For severe infestations, we may recommend starting with a liquid treatment for immediate control, then transitioning to bait station monitoring for long-term protection.
Is termite treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes. Both our treatment options are safe when applied by a licensed professional. Trelona bait stations use a small amount of active ingredient enclosed in tamper-resistant stations with minimal environmental impact. Termidor HE liquid and foam treatments are applied to soil and targeted areas; once dry, they present minimal risk to people and pets. We’ll walk you through any prep steps needed before service.
Which termite treatment method is right for my home?
The best approach depends on your infestation’s severity, your home’s construction, and your preferences. Trelona bait stations are ideal for prevention and long-term colony elimination with a low chemical footprint. Termidor HE liquid and foam treatments are preferred for severe or fast-moving infestations requiring direct treatment of entry points or wall voids. Many homes benefit from both methods working together. We’ll assess your situation during your free inspection and explain all options before any work begins.
