Termite Control In Tupelo, MS
Protecting Your Tupelo Home From Damaging Termites
Although there are many different types of building materials available for construction projects, most homes are at least partially made of wood. Wood is usually a readily available and affordable material, but it isn't without its problems. One of those problems is that it is very attractive to termites.
Termites are active all over the continental United States, including Tupelo, and they often enter homes in search of wood. Once they find it, they'll stick around, chewing tunnels through the elements of your home that are critical to its structural stability. Protecting your home against pests like termites should be a priority, whether you have an active infestation or not. McCary Pest Control provides termite control services in Tupelo that will keep termites out.

how can you tell if your house has termites?
Termites can be sneaky little critters, but there are some telltale signs that might indicate their presence in your home.
Here are a few things to look out for:
- Mud Tubes: These are small, pencil-sized tunnels that termites use to travel between their colony and food sources. Check around your home's foundation, walls, and other wooden structures.
- Wood Damage: Termites eat wood from the inside out, so tap on wooden structures to see if they sound hollow. You might also notice blistering or darkening of wood.
- Discarded Wings: After swarming, termites shed their wings. Finding piles of wings near windowsills or entry points can be a sign of an infestation.
- Frass: This is termite droppings, which look like small, wood-colored pellets. You might find these near the site of an infestation.
- Swarmers: These are winged termites that emerge in large numbers, usually in spring. If you see a swarm inside or near your home, it could indicate a nearby colony.
If you suspect termites, it's a good idea to contact a pest control professional for a thorough inspection and treatment plan. They can help confirm the presence of termites and recommend the best course of action.

Our Termite Control Offerings
Initial Inspection
At McCary Pest Control, we offer a few different termite control treatments depending on your needs. To determine what those needs are, we'll start by talking with you about whether you need treatment on a home already built or one that is under construction, as well as whether you've found any signs of termite activity around your house.
We'll then send out a certified technician to inspect your house for any signs of activity or damage caused by termites. If you have an active infestation, we want to know how large it is in order to provide you with the most effective treatment available. Once we gather the information we need, we'll recommend the treatment plan that will best protect your house.
Existing Structures
If your home is already built, we offer termite treatments that will eliminate active termite infestations as well as prevent future infestations. For active infestations, we can spot treat accessible areas where there are currently termites.
We offer a soil treatment for both active and preventative treatments, which involves digging a four-inch-deep by a four-inch-wide trench in the soil all around the perimeter of your house. We'll fill the trench with a termite control product, allow the product to absorb into the ground, then backfill the trench. When termites pass through the soil, they pick up the active ingredient on their bodies and spread it to the colony, effectively eliminating them one by one.
This service comes with a one-year renewable warranty. If necessary, in the year following the treatment, we will return to your home to re-treat it at no additional cost. The warranty is transferable in most cases. Contact us for more information.
New Construction
If you are preparing to build a house or are in the early stages of building, we offer termite treatments to keep your new home protected right from the start. We will treat the prepared area where the house will sit before the house is built.
This service includes a follow-up perimeter treatment that will take place within one year at no additional cost. It also includes a one-year renewable warranty.
Wood-Destroying Insect/Wood-Destroying Organism Reports
If you are buying a home, your lender may require a Wood Destroying Insect/Organism Report filed with them before they will approve the loan. This report ensures that there are no surprises in the form of termite damage or activity after the closing date.
McCary Pest Control offers this home pest control service. A certified inspector will inspect the home for any signs of termite or other wood-destroying organism activity. We'll then write up the proper paperwork and provide it to you so that you can present it to the appropriate parties.
