Termites Can Cause Serious Damage Before You Know They’re There
South Louisiana provides exactly the type of warm, humid environment termites thrive in. That means termite activity isn’t something homeowners in Lafayette and Acadiana can afford to ignore.
Unlike ants, roaches, or other pests that quickly make themselves known, termites can remain hidden inside wood, walls, flooring, crawlspaces, and structural areas of a home.
In many cases, the first noticeable sign of a termite problem is not the termites themselves.
Homeowners may discover:
- Mud tubes along foundations, piers, walls, or other surfaces
- Winged termites swarming around the home
- Discarded wings near windows, doors, or lights
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Soft, blistered, or damaged wood
- Unexplained damage around doors, trim, flooring, or baseboards
- Termite activity around landscaping, fences, stumps, or other wood near the house
Finding one of these signs does not automatically tell you how extensive the problem is. A professional inspection helps determine where activity is occurring and what needs to be done about it.

Complete Pest Protection for Your Home

How We Approach Termite Problems
Inspect the Property
The first step is understanding what is happening.
We inspect accessible areas of the home for signs of current or previous termite activity, conditions that may be contributing to the problem, and areas where termites may be gaining access to the structure.
The goal is not simply to confirm that termites exist. It is to understand where the activity is occurring and what needs to be protected.
Identify Signs of Termite Activity
Mud tubes, swarmers, damaged wood, moisture conditions, and other evidence can provide important clues about termite activity around a property.
Our technician will look at the overall situation rather than focusing on one isolated sign.
Recommend the Right Treatment Strategy
Every home is different.
Construction type, termite activity, accessibility, surrounding soil conditions, moisture, previous treatments, and other factors can affect the recommended approach.
After the inspection, we’ll explain what we found and discuss the treatment options appropriate for the property.
Treat and Protect the Structure
Once the treatment plan is established, our technicians address the areas needed to control the termite problem and help protect the home.
Termite treatment is not simply about killing the insects you happen to see. The objective is to address the termite activity affecting the structure and reduce the opportunity for continued damage.
Maintain Long-Term Termite Protection
Termites are a continuing threat in South Louisiana.
Depending on the termite service recommended for your home, continued inspections, monitoring, or ongoing protection may be an important part of keeping the property protected.
We’ll explain what your home needs and what you should watch for in the future.

Local Termite Exterminators Serving Lafayette Since 1962
Termites are different from many of the other pests that get into a home.
A trail of ants across the counter is easy to notice. A roach running across the floor gets your attention immediately. Termites can be different. They may be feeding inside structural wood without creating an obvious problem in the living area of the home.
That is why termite control begins with a careful inspection.
Dave’s & Kevin’s Pest Control looks for visible evidence of activity as well as conditions around the property that may make a home more vulnerable. That can include moisture, wood-to-soil contact, openings around the foundation, landscaping conditions, old termite damage, and other areas where termites may gain access.
If termite activity is found, we’ll explain what we see in plain language and recommend a treatment plan based on the property rather than trying to force every home into the same solution.
And if you’re calling because you saw winged termites or a swarm, don’t wait for the problem to become more obvious. A swarm can be an important warning sign that deserves professional attention.

Frequently Asked Questions About Termite Control
What are the most common signs of termites?
Common warning signs include mud tubes, winged termite swarmers, piles of discarded wings, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, blistered wood surfaces, and unexplained damage around trim, flooring, doors, or other wooden areas of the home.
Because termite activity can remain hidden, an inspection is the best way to determine whether suspicious signs are actually related to termites.
What should I do if I see flying termites around my house?
Contact a termite professional and schedule an inspection.
Winged termites, also called swarmers, can indicate that a mature termite colony is nearby. Seeing them indoors or repeatedly around the structure is especially worth investigating.
Does seeing termites mean my home already has major damage?
Not necessarily.
The amount of damage depends on where termites are active, how long the activity has been present, and what areas of the structure have been affected. An inspection is necessary before anyone can responsibly determine the extent of the problem.
Can I treat termites myself?
Store-bought products may kill termites that are directly exposed, but termite colonies and entry points can be hidden in soil, walls, structural wood, crawlspaces, and other inaccessible areas.
Professional termite control focuses on the overall infestation and protection of the structure rather than simply killing the termites that happen to be visible.
Why are termites such a problem in South Louisiana?
Warm temperatures, moisture, humidity, soil conditions, vegetation, and abundant sources of cellulose make this region very favorable for termites.
That is why termite awareness and ongoing protection are especially important for homeowners in Lafayette and throughout Acadiana.
How often should my home be inspected for termites?
The appropriate inspection schedule can depend on your property, previous termite history, treatment program, construction, and other risk factors.
Dave’s & Kevin’s can explain what inspection and protection schedule makes sense for your particular home.
Do you provide termite control outside Lafayette?
Yes. Dave’s & Kevin’s serves Lafayette as well as communities throughout the surrounding Acadiana and South Louisiana service area. The Ant page uses the same broader Acadiana service-area strategy rather than treating Lafayette as the company’s only market.
Worried About Termites?
Termite problems rarely get better by waiting.
Whether you discovered suspicious mud tubes, noticed a termite swarm, found damaged wood, or simply want to know if your home is protected, let Dave’s & Kevin’s inspect the property and give you straightforward answers.
