Your Home Deserves More Than a Temporary Fix for Termites
Subterranean termites can cause serious structural damage long before most homeowners realize there's a problem. HTP Termite and Pest Control uses a proven bait station system to intercept and eliminate termite colonies at the source, protecting the wood framing, flooring, and structural supports your home depends on. Every service is backed by a warranty once you've completed two annual renewals, so your protection only gets stronger over time.
How the Termite Control Process from HTP Termite and Pest Control Works
Here's what happens from the first call to ongoing colony monitoring:
- Schedule an inspection and a licensed technician assesses your property for subterranean termite activity, conducive conditions, and existing structural vulnerabilities.
- Receive a Wood-Destroying Insect Report that documents findings and gives you a clear picture of your home's current termite risk.
- Bait stations are strategically installed around the perimeter of your home to intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure.
- Termites carry the bait back to the colony, which gradually eliminates the population at the source rather than just the surface.
- Annual monitoring visits keep stations active, check for new termite pressure, and maintain your continuous protection.
- After two consecutive annual renewals, your service qualifies for a termite warranty, giving you documented coverage for your home.
Homeowners looking for reliable termite control in Lakeland can count on HTP Termite and Pest Control to deliver consistent, science-backed treatment and the kind of follow-through that protects your investment year after year.

Warning Signs of Termites in Lakeland Homes and Properties
Termites can work through the structural wood in your home for months before you notice anything is wrong. For homeowners with larger properties, barns, or outbuildings, the risk area is even greater and the damage can spread further before it's caught.
Common signs of a subterranean termite problem that Tennessee homeowners should watch for:
- Mud tubes running along foundation walls, crawl spaces, or wooden support beams
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or feels soft to the touch
- Bubbling or uneven paint that resembles water damage
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doorframes, or light sources after a swarm
- Frass, which is small, pellet-like droppings left near damaged wood
- Doors or windows that suddenly stick or no longer close properly
- Visible tunneling or galleries inside exposed wood on porches, decks, or structural framing
If any of these signs are showing up around your home or outbuildings, the damage is already underway. Knowing what to look for is the first step toward protecting your property for the long haul.
The Sentricon Termite Treatment System That Eliminates the Whole Colony
Subterranean termites can cause serious structural damage long before you ever notice the signs, and that's a real concern for any homeowner. The Sentricon System is a scientifically proven termite treatment that doesn't just slow termites down — it wipes out the entire colony, including the queen. Whether you're dealing with an active infestation or want to get ahead of a potential problem, a professional termite inspection followed by Sentricon installation is one of the most effective steps you can take to protect your home.
Our exterminator team installs bait stations in a protective ring around your property's perimeter. Subterranean termites find the patented bait nearly 10 times more attractive than wood, consume it, and carry it back to the colony. The result is total colony elimination over time, with continuous monitoring built right in. Sentricon is also the only termite baiting system to earn the EPA's Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award, so it's safe around your family, pets, and property.
Here's why HTP Termite and Pest Control recommends the Sentricon System for subterranean termite protection:
- Eliminates the entire termite colony, including the queen
- Backed by more than 60 scientific studies — far more than any liquid treatment
- Minimal disruption to your lawn, landscaping, and home
- Provides continuous monitoring with visible, on-property evidence of protection
- EPA Green Chemistry Challenge Award winner — safe around water sources and wells
- Effective as both a curative treatment and a preventative measure
- Notifies you of future termite activity and is fully removable
If you have questions or concerns about subterranean termites, we're standing by to help. Reach out to HTP Termite and Pest Control today to schedule a termite inspection and find out if the Sentricon System is the right fit for your home.
WDI Inspections That Keep Real Estate Transactions Moving
A Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection is a visual assessment of a property carried out by a certified pest control professional. At HTP Termite and Pest Control, we check for evidence of termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, powder post beetles, and old house borers, all of which can cause serious structural damage that goes unnoticed for a long time. Our inspectors examine accessible interior and exterior areas, looking for things like mud tubes, bore holes, frass, and damaged wood, then document everything in a standardized NPMA-33 report.
Real estate agents rely on HTP Termite and Pest Control to keep deals on track. A termite inspection is often required by lenders before a loan is approved, and having a reliable report ready can prevent last-minute delays at closing. Whether you are a buyer, seller, or agent coordinating a transaction, we make the process straightforward. If we find evidence of an active or past infestation during the termite inspection, we will walk you through next steps so you know exactly where things stand before closing day.
