Discarded wings near a window in spring is a termite swarm, not flying ants, and it means a mature colony is already established somewhere in the structure. A colony can feed on structural wood for years before any visible sign appears on the surface, which is why routine inspection matters even without an active swarm.
A full inspection includes a wood-destroying organism report suitable for real estate closings, at no charge.


Our Termite Control crew is certified specifically for termiticide application, not general pest work.
We keep inspection slots open same-week for Bidwell homeowners seeing mud tubes or wings near windows.
Liquid barrier and bait station pricing is quoted after inspection, tied to linear footage and species found.
We use moisture meters, sounding hammers, and sometimes thermal imaging to find damage hidden behind finished walls.
Subterranean colonies travel through soil, so barrier treatment is mapped around the entire structure's perimeter.
Bait stations are placed around the property and checked on a monitoring schedule to catch new activity early.
We identify drywood frass (small pellet droppings) to pinpoint exactly which framing member needs treatment.
We provide a full written wood-destroying organism report accepted by most lenders as part of closing documents.
We document damage severity so you or your contractor know which framing needs structural attention.
Commercial properties get scheduled monitoring and renewal treatment under a documented termite protection plan.

Call +1-866-315-0243 and describe what you've seen — mud tubes, wings, or soft wood — so we can prioritize the inspection.
A technician arrives with moisture meters and inspection tools ready to check the foundation, crawl space, and framing.
We trace mud tubes, check for wood-to-soil contact, and identify subterranean versus drywood species before quoting.
Guarantee coverage means continued activity within the guarantee window gets a free re-treatment.
The WDO report they provided was exactly what our lender needed for closing — saved us from a delay.
Knowing the difference between drywood and subterranean species mattered — our treatment was completely different than what a neighbor got for the same symptom.
As a property manager, having a bonded termite plan on file made our annual insurance review painless.
We were about to list our house when the pre-listing inspection caught early subterranean activity — glad it was found before a buyer's inspector did.

Nex Pest Control dispatches termite-certified technicians throughout Bidwell and nearby communities for both inspections and treatment. Real estate transactions, renewals, and new active infestations all fall under the same Bidwell service area and response timeline.

Termite wings are equal in length and shed easily near a single point, while ant wings are uneven in size — a technician can confirm on site.
Knowing which species you have changes both the treatment method and the price, which is why inspection comes first.
Yes, a WDO report is standard for most real estate transactions and we can usually schedule it within a few days.
Barrier treatments typically hold for several years, with monitoring visits confirming the barrier is still effective.
Exterior barrier treatment usually doesn't require leaving the home, but we'll tell you specifically if your treatment plan does.
Our guarantee covers a free re-treatment if activity returns within the stated window on your service agreement.
