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.
We check the sill plate, foundation cracks, and crawl space for mud tubes and wood-to-soil contact before recommending treatment.


Every technician performing Rochester termite inspections carries state licensing for wood-destroying organism reporting.
We keep inspection slots open same-week for Rochester 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.
Stations use a slow-acting bait that colony members share, which can eliminate the nest rather than just the visible tubes.
We identify drywood frass (small pellet droppings) to pinpoint exactly which framing member needs treatment.
Photos of any damage found are included in the report so buyers and agents see exactly what was inspected.
We document damage severity so you or your contractor know which framing needs structural attention.
We set up recurring inspection schedules for Rochester commercial buildings with reports for property records.

Tell dispatch whether it's a swarm sighting or existing damage; swarm calls get expedited scheduling.
Our mobile units carry both liquid termiticide and bait station equipment for Rochester termite calls.
Inspection results in a written treatment plan and price, whether that's a liquid barrier or bait station system.
Guarantee coverage means continued activity within the guarantee window gets a free re-treatment.
Found mud tubes on the foundation during a routine check and Nex Pest Control had an inspector out within two days with a full written report.
Knowing the difference between drywood and subterranean species mattered — our treatment was completely different than what a neighbor got for the same symptom.
Our office building needed a termite protection plan for insurance purposes and Nex Pest Control set up recurring monitoring with documented reports.
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 Rochester and nearby communities for both inspections and treatment. Real estate transactions, renewals, and new active infestations all fall under the same Rochester service area and response timeline.

Termite swarmers have straight antennae and a thick waist, unlike the bent antennae and pinched waist of flying ants.
Subterranean termites need soil contact and build mud tubes, while drywood termites live entirely inside dry wood without soil access.
Most lenders require a wood-destroying organism report as part of closing, and we provide one with full documentation.
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.
If monitoring shows continued activity, we return and address it at no additional charge under your plan.
