Termite Control FAQs
How Do I Know If I Have a Termite Infestation?
Termites are often called “silent destroyers” because they can chew through wooden studs, flooring, and beams undetected. Common signs of a termite infestation include:
- Mud tubes: Pencil-sized tunnels found on exterior walls or foundations.
- Discarded wings: Piles of wings near windowsills or doors, often left by swarmers.
- Hollow-sounding wood: Wood that sounds empty when tapped or is easily punctured.
- Frass: Small piles of pellets that look like sawdust or coffee grounds.
If you spot any of these signs, contact Pied Piper Pest Control Inc. immediately for an inspection!
What Are Formosan Subterranean Termites and Why Are They Dangerous?
Formosan Subterranean Termites are an aggressive species of termite commonly found in the Greater New Orleans area. They are often referred to as “super termites” because their colonies can contain millions of members, allowing them to consume wood much faster than other species. Because of their sheer numbers and aggressive appetite, they can cause severe structural damage to a home in a very short amount of time. Professional termite control is essential to protecting your property from Formosan subterranean termites.
How Often Should I Have My Home Inspected for Termites?
In our region, where termite damage is common, we recommend having your home inspected at least once a year. Annual inspections allow our professionals to catch early signs of activity before significant damage occurs. If you notice swarming termites or suspicious damage between scheduled visits, you should schedule an inspection right away.
Do I Need Professional Termite Control or Can I Treat Them Myself?
While DIY solutions might seem tempting, they are rarely effective against established termite colonies. Termites often live deep underground or within the structure of your home, areas that store-bought termite treatments cannot reach. Professional pest control technicians have the training, equipment, and access to advanced treatments (like the Sentricon® termite baiting system) that are designed to eliminate the entire colony, including the queen, ensuring long-term protection.
Is Termite Damage Covered by Homeowners Insurance?
Unfortunately, most standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage. Insurance providers typically view termite infestations as preventable maintenance issues. This makes proactive termite control and prevention even more critical. Investing in a protection plan now is far more cost-effective than repairing structural damage later.
What Treatments Do You Offer for Termite Control?
At Pied Piper Pest Control Inc., we use industry-leading solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our primary methods include the Sentricon® Termite Baiting System, which uses bait stations to eliminate colonies, and liquid treatments like Termidor® that create a protective barrier around your home. During our initial inspection, we will determine which method is best suited for your property and the type of termite activity present.
What Pied Piper Customers Have to Say
Very professional.
I called this provider for assistance and they were willing and able to do the job. Very professional. The person I spoke with was very nice and was prepared to send someone out asap.

...very impressed with his promptness and willingness to meet our needs.
We had a termite issue in our walls. After I called in a mild panic, Jeff spoke to me about various scenarios we would deal with at 8 pm on a Saturday night. He came out the next day (not just a Sunday but Father’s Day) to give an estimate. While looking at the walls and under the house, he sprayed as a courtesy, not to stop the colony, but to at least delay them. Although they were priced out of our budget, we were very impressed with his promptness and willingness to meet our needs.

Understanding Termite Infestations and How Our Team Treats Them
Termites can be frustrating and confusing. We're here to help!
Termites are often called the silent destroyer because they may be secretly hiding and thriving in your home or yard without any immediate signs of damage. All termites consume cellulose-based plant materials. Unfortunately, all homes, regardless of their construction type, can provide cellulose food for termite infestation.
What exactly are Termites?
Termites can cause serious structural damage to your home; and because they live in colonies that can number from several hundred thousand to several million, it is important to be proactive. Don’t let termites take control of your home, call Pied Piper Pest Control to schedule an appointment with a fully trained, licensed, and insured professional to come to your home and give you a free termite estimate on the cost of treating your home and placing you under a State of Louisiana Termite Contract for long lasting protection. Or perhaps you would feel better having a thorough termite inspection to provide you with valuable peace of mind for termite control.
