Identifying & Eliminating Termite Infestations in The Tri-Cities
The common termite threats affecting homes in Johnson City, Bristol, and Kingsport—and how our local experts stop them.



In Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and throughout Northeast Tennessee & SW Virginia, termites thrive anywhere there’s wood + moisture + hidden access—especially around crawlspaces, basements, expansion joints, and exterior wood-to-soil contact. The biggest risk is that termites often stay out of sight, so damage can build for months (or longer) before homeowners notice a problem.
Subterranean Termites: The most common and most destructive. They live in the soil and travel into homes through mud tubes, cracks, and foundation gaps—often targeting structural wood.
Drywood Termites: Less common in our region, but possible. They can live directly inside dry wood and may be found in framing or trim without soil contact.
Dampwood Termites: Typically linked to moisture-damaged wood. If there’s a leak, rot, or chronic moisture issue, they may be present until the moisture problem is corrected.
At Pest Detectives Pest Control, we don’t guess—we perform a thorough inspection to confirm activity, identify the termite type, and build a plan designed for complete protection.
Our Proven, Effective Termite Treatment Process in Tri-Cities & Nearby Areas
Our Proven, Effective Termite Treatment Process in Tri-Cities & Nearby Areas
A strategic, multi-step approach designed for lasting termite control and long-term protection for your Johnson City home and across the Tri-Cities.
Comprehensive Inspection
Our certified technicians begin with a detailed inspection of your Johnson City property, inside and out. We look for mud tubes, wood damage, moisture conditions, and entry points around foundations, crawlspaces, and garages.
Customized Treatment Plan
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. We create a tailored plan based on termite type, structure layout, and pressure areas. The goal is to stop the colony and protect the home—not just treat a single visible spot.
Safe & Effective Application
We use professional, targeted methods designed to eliminate termites and establish protection where it matters most. We also explain what we’re doing and why, so you know exactly what’s happening.
Prevention & Moisture Recommendations
Termites love moisture. We provide clear guidance on correcting conditions that increase risk—like wood-to-soil contact, poor drainage, or moisture buildup in crawlspaces.
Follow-Up & Ongoing Protection
Termite control is about peace of mind. We recommend monitoring and continued protection options based on your property’s risk level.
