Termite Control Littleton, CO — Local Inspection & Treatment You Can Trust

Yes, and it happens more often than most people realize. The Western Subterranean Termite (Reticulitermes hesperus) is a native Colorado species that remains active year-round in Littleton and across Arapahoe County. These colonies build their nests deep below the frost line in moisture-rich soil — especially in areas with bentonite clay backfill, which is common in most Front Range residential developments. They tunnel upward through foundation cracks to feed on structural lumber, and homeowners often don't notice the damage until it's already significant.

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and it's an important distinction. Termite swarmers have straight, beaded antennae, a thick uniform waist, and four wings that are all the same length — wings that shed easily and are often found in small piles on windowsills. Carpenter ants, on the other hand, have elbowed antennae, a clearly pinched waist, and front wings that are longer than the back pair. If you're finding discarded wings in your home — especially near basement windows, door frames, or heating vents — that's a strong indicator of a termite swarm and warrants an immediate professional inspection.

An NPMA-33 is the nationally standardized Wood-Destroying Insect inspection report. In Colorado, VA loans, FHA mortgages, and many conventional lenders require this document before closing on a residential property purchase. Our Category 301 certified inspectors perform thorough structural evaluations and deliver completed NPMA-33 reports the same day — documentation that is accepted by every title company and mortgage underwriter operating in the state.

We treat active swarm events as emergencies. Because Termite Control Littleton operates directly from our Littleton headquarters, we dispatch same-day inspectors to homes across Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Englewood, Ken Caryl, and Lakewood. Our extended hours — 5 AM to 11 PM, seven days a week — mean you won't be waiting until Monday morning for help when swarmers appear on a Saturday evening.

Every full residential treatment we perform comes with our 1-Year Retreatment Guarantee. If subterranean termite activity reappears anywhere within the treated structure during the warranty period, we return and retreat those zones at absolutely no additional cost to you. We also offer renewable annual protection plans for homeowners who want ongoing monitoring and extended warranty coverage.

We offer a complete range of termite control solutions tailored to Littleton's specific soil and foundation conditions. That includes Termidor® SC liquid perimeter soil barriers for active infestations, Sentricon® colony elimination baiting systems for non-invasive ongoing protection, pre-construction soil treatments for new builds and additions, whole-home thermal imaging inspections, official NPMA-33 WDI real estate reports, structural wood damage repair, and annual protection plans with renewable warranties.
