Termites eat wood 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—and your home could be slowly rotting right now without you knowing. In Norman, termite damage is a serious threat that can cost thousands in repairs if not caught early.
A small termite colony can consume a foot of 2x4 lumber in just six months. The average Norman homeowner spends $3,000-$8,000 on repairs when damage goes unnoticed. Early treatment costs a fraction of that—don't wait until floors sag or walls crack.
Norman has specific conditions that make termites a constant threat:
Clay soil: Oklahoma's heavy clay soil holds moisture well—subterranean termites need damp soil to survive. Your foundation sits in their ideal habitat.
Older housing: Many Norman neighborhoods have homes 40-60 years old. Older foundations have more cracks, gaps, and wood-to-soil contact points where termites enter.
Weather patterns: Spring rains followed by hot summers create the moisture termites need. They're most active April through October in our area.
Neighbor risk: If your neighbors have termites, they may already be under your property. Termites can travel up to 100 feet from their colony.
If you're concerned about any of these factors, our pest control services in Norman include comprehensive termite inspections.
Watch for these warning signs around your property:
Tap on walls, door frames, or baseboards. If they sound hollow or papery, termites may have eaten the inside.
Thin mud tunnels on your foundation or exterior walls. These are termite highways connecting the colony to your home.
Pile of pale wings near windowsills or door frames after swarming season (typically spring).
Wood-colored pellets near baseboards, windows, or in spiderwebs. This is termite waste.
The only way to confirm whether you have termites is a professional inspection. Our licensed WDO inspectors check:
Foundation walls and expansion joints • Wooden structures touching soil • Basement or crawl space • Areas where wood meets concrete • Exterior grading and drainage
Early detection saves money. If you see any signs—or even if you don't but live in an older Norman home—schedule a free inspection.
Our licensed inspectors will check your property and provide a clear report—no obligation.
Schedule InspectionOnce we confirm termites, we recommend the best treatment for your situation:
Liquid soil treatment: Applied around and under your foundation, creating a protective barrier. Most common for Oklahoma homes. Treatment takes 2-4 hours.
Senticon bait system: Bait stations placed around your property attract termites and carry poison back to the colony. Ideal for long-term prevention.
Fumigation: Required for severe infestations or when termites have entered the structure. Your home is tented for 24-72 hours.
After treatment, ongoing protection keeps your home safe:
Pricing depends on infestation severity and property size:
Initial treatment (average home): $1,500-$3,500
Bait system installation: $1,200-$2,500
Full fumigation: $3,000-$5,000+
We provide free written estimates after inspection. No surprise costs—every price explained upfront.
Look for hollow wood, mud tubes on foundations, discarded wings near windows, or sagging floors. Many infestations show no visible signs until significant damage exists—that's why annual inspections matter.
Average treatment runs $1,500-$3,000. Severe cases may cost more. Free inspection provides an exact quote.
Most treatments complete in 2-4 hours. Fumigation requires 24-72 hours out of the home.
Good prevention reduces risk, but doesn't eliminate it. Professional treatment and annual inspections are the only reliable protection.
