Signs of Termites Around Your Home
Termites often remain hidden inside walls, wood, and soil, so an infestation isn't always obvious. Knowing a few common warning signs can help you recognize when it's time to have the property inspected.
Seeing something suspicious? We can inspect the property and determine whether the signs are consistent with termite activity.
Damaged Wood
Wood that appears hollowed, weakened, blistered, or damaged internally may warrant a closer inspection.
Mud Tubes
Shelter tubes along foundations, piers, walls, or other areas can indicate subterranean termite activity.
Discarded Wings
Small piles of similar-sized wings around windows, doors, or other areas may be left behind after a termite swarm.
Termite Swarmers
Winged termites appearing inside or around the home can be a sign of a nearby termite colony.
Termite Treatment Options for Your Property
There isn't one termite treatment that's right for every property. We offer both termite baiting systems and liquid treatments, allowing us to recommend an approach based on the home, termite activity, and conditions we find during the inspection.
Liquid Termite Treatment
Liquid treatments are applied to designated areas around or beneath the structure to create treated soil zones where termites may travel between the ground and the building.
• Targeted soil treatment
• Trenching and drilling when needed
• Useful for a variety of construction types
• Treatment based on property conditions
Trelona Bait System
Trelona stations are installed in the soil around the structure and use bait that termites can discover while foraging. The system is designed to affect termites beyond the individual workers that encounter the bait and includes ongoing monitoring of the stations.
• Discreet exterior stations
• Targets foraging termites
• Minimal disruption to the property
• Ongoing monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions
Are termites common in Baton Rouge?
Yes. Baton Rouge's warm, humid climate provides favorable conditions for subterranean termites, including Formosan subterranean termites.
How do I know if I have termites?
Common signs include mud tubes, termite swarmers, discarded wings, and damaged or hollow-sounding wood. Because termites can remain hidden, an inspection is the best way to determine whether suspicious signs are consistent with termite activity.
How do termite bait stations work?
Termite bait stations are installed in the soil around the structure where foraging termites can encounter the bait. We use the Trelona system, which is designed to affect termites beyond the individual workers that feed on it.
Do you offer both termite bait stations and liquid treatments?
Yes. Hilbun Pest Control offers both termite baiting systems and liquid termite treatments. We inspect the property first and recommend an option based on the structure, conditions, and termite activity we find.
How often are termite bait stations checked?
Monitoring schedules depend on the termite program and conditions at the property. We'll explain the monitoring schedule associated with your system when your treatment plan is established.
Can you treat an active termite infestation?
Yes. If active termites are found, we'll evaluate where the activity is occurring and determine an appropriate treatment approach for the property.
