Mud tubes running up your foundation are subterranean termites building a protected path from the soil to the wood framing — our inspection traces every tube back to its source before we quote a barrier treatment. 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.


Every technician performing Cortez termite inspections carries state licensing for wood-destroying organism reporting.
We keep inspection slots open same-week for Cortez 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.
A liquid barrier is trenched and applied along the full foundation line, not just the section where mud tubes were spotted.
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.
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.
Commercial properties get scheduled monitoring and renewal treatment under a documented termite protection plan.

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 Cortez termite calls.
Inspection results in a written treatment plan and price, whether that's a liquid barrier or bait station system.
Treatment is applied the same visit when possible, with monitoring visits scheduled to confirm the colony is gone.
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.
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 Cortez and nearby communities for both inspections and treatment. We cover single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial properties across Cortez with the same inspection standard and documentation.

Termite swarmers have straight antennae and a thick waist, unlike the bent antennae and pinched waist of flying ants.
Treatment differs by species — subterranean gets a soil barrier or bait stations, drywood often gets localized wood treatment.
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.
Most subterranean treatments are done outside the structure, so interior disruption is minimal.
Our guarantee covers a free re-treatment if activity returns within the stated window on your service agreement.
