Termite Control

Every structure in Oklahoma will have termites at some point. Termites are in the soil before a home is ever built — and once the original pre-treatment breaks down, they will appear. We inspect, treat, and monitor so your home stays protected.

The reality in Oklahoma

Every Structure in This Part of the Country Will Have Termites at Some Point

Termites are in the soil before a structure is ever built. The only thing standing between your home and a termite infestation is the pre-treatment applied at the time of construction — and that protection does not last forever. Once it breaks down, termites will appear.

While we do not perform pre-construction treatments, we specialize in post-construction treatments — the liquid soil barrier applied after a structure is built to stop termites from entering.

The question is not if termites will become a concern — it is when. Knowing where your home falls on that timeline is the first step toward protecting it.

Built before 1986
30 – 50 Years
Original pre-construction treatments from this era typically provided long-lasting protection. Many of these homes are now at or approaching the end of that window.
Built 1986 – 1999
20 – 25 Years
Homes from this period are well into their vulnerability window. If you have not had a termite inspection recently, now is the time.
Built after 1999
2 – 15 Years
Protection varies widely depending on the products used and quality of the original application. Some newer homes are already unprotected.
Zoellner treatments
10 – 20 Years
We expect 10 to 20 years of protection out of our treatments, with an optional renewable warranty to keep your home covered beyond that.

Warning Signs of Termite Activity

Termites are rarely seen directly. These are the clues that tell you a colony may already be active in your home.

Mud Tubes

Pencil-width tunnels of mud running along foundation walls, crawl spaces, or floor joists — the primary travel highway for subterranean termites.

Hollow-Sounding Wood

Wood that sounds hollow when tapped — termites eat from the inside out, leaving only a thin shell of wood or paint on the surface.

Discarded Wings

Small, equal-length wings near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures — left behind by termite swarmers after they find a new nesting site.

Frass (Droppings)

Tiny pellets of wood-colored droppings near wood surfaces — a sign of drywood termite activity. Often mistaken for sawdust.

Bubbling or Peeling Paint

Paint that bubbles, peels, or looks water-damaged on wood surfaces — often caused by moisture from termite activity beneath the surface.

Tight-Fitting Doors & Windows

Doors or windows that suddenly stick or are hard to open — caused by termite damage warping the wood frame around the opening.

How We Treat Termites

We select the right treatment method based on your home's construction, the type of termite, and the extent of the infestation.

Liquid Soil Treatment

A continuous chemical barrier is applied to the soil around your home's foundation. Termites that attempt to cross the treated zone are eliminated before they can reach the structure. Expected to last 10 to 20 years.

Most common for existing homes

Annual Monitoring Program

Annual inspections keep your home protected long after initial treatment. We check for new termite activity, inspect the treated zone, and document findings — giving you peace of mind year after year.

Long-term protection

Re-Treatment Guarantee

If termite activity returns within the warranty period, we come back and re-treat at no additional charge. Your home stays protected — and so does your investment.

Termite FAQs

Everything you need to know about termite treatment in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

How do I know if I have termites?+
Common signs include mud tubes on foundation walls or crawl spaces, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, discarded wings near windows and doors, small piles of frass (termite droppings), and visible damage to wood structures. Many infestations go undetected for years — a professional inspection is the only reliable way to confirm termite activity.
Will my home in Oklahoma get termites?+
Every structure in Oklahoma and this part of the country will have termites at one time or another. Termites are in the soil before a structure is ever built. The only thing stopping them from entering is the pre-treatment applied at the time of construction — and once that breaks down, termites will appear. It is not a matter of if, but when.
How long does the original pre-construction protection last?+
It depends on when your home was built. Structures built before 1986 were typically protected for 30 to 50 years. Homes built between 1986 and 1999 averaged 20 to 25 years of protection. Structures built after 1999 may only have 2 to 15 years of protection depending on the products used and quality of the original application. If you are unsure where your home stands, a professional inspection is the best place to start.
What types of termites are common in Tulsa?+
The most common termite in the Tulsa area is the Eastern Subterranean Termite. These termites live underground and build mud tubes to access wood above the soil. They are responsible for the majority of termite damage in Oklahoma homes.
How does Zoellner treat termites?+
Zoellner uses the Termidor HP high-pressure injection system to apply a liquid soil treatment around your home's foundation. This revolutionary system creates a more uniform treatment zone with no trenching, rodding, or disruption to your yard or landscaping. Product is precisely applied where it is needed, cutting water usage by as much as 75% compared to traditional methods. We also offer ongoing annual monitoring programs for long-term protection.
How long does termite treatment last?+
Our liquid termite treatments are expected to last 10 to 20 years. We offer an optional renewable warranty to keep your home covered beyond that window.
Can I treat termites myself?+
DIY termite treatments are rarely effective against established infestations. Subterranean termites live underground in large colonies and require professional-grade products and application methods to eliminate. Attempting to treat termites yourself often delays proper treatment and allows damage to continue spreading.
How much does termite treatment cost in Tulsa?+
Termite treatment cost depends on the size of your home, the extent of the infestation, and the treatment method required. A thorough inspection is included at the time of your scheduled service so you know exactly what you are dealing with. Call (918) 856-5424 to get a free quote.
