Termite Exterminator
TERMITE PEST CONTROL IN DOUGLAS & LINCOLN COUNTIES 
While often mistaken for ants, termites are far more than just tiny nuisances. These pests feed on wood and other cellulose materials, causing serious structural damage to homes, buildings, and anything made of wood. Termites live in large colonies consisting of a king, a queen, and hundreds to thousands of other members. Most species thrive in warm, moist environments, whether inside your home or underground in your lawn. Regardless of their location, these pests can cause significant damage.
There are around 2,000 species of termites worldwide, but only about 50 are found in the United States. In Omaha and Lincoln areas, some of the most common species include:
- Subterranean Termites: These termites build their nests underground and require contact with soil to survive. They construct mud tubes to access food sources above ground.
- Drywood Termites: These termites infest dry wood and do not need contact with soil.
Effective termite control requires a deep understanding of their behavior and habitats. At Recon Pest Services, we are trained in identifying and eliminating termite infestations using targeted treatments that shield your property from additional harm.

DO I HAVE A TERMITE PROBLEM IN MY DOUGLAS OR LINCOLN COUNTY HOME?
Are you curious if you have a termite infestation? Here’s what to look for. Termites can vary in color from white to brown to black, but all of these pests have the same six legs, straight antennae, and short bodies. Their size typically ranges from one-eighth of an inch to one inch long, depending on the caste they are in.
Other early warning signs of termites include:
- Hollow-sounding wood
- Discarded wings near windows or doors
- Mud tubes on exterior walls
- Small piles of sawdust or frass
Termites need moisture to survive and infest wood. Often, this moisture comes from direct wood-to-ground contact, poorly ventilated attics or crawlspaces, or spots with leaks and water damage. When you notice evidence of termites, call in the experts at Recon Pest Services!

F.A.Q.
Q: How are termites getting into my home?
A: Termites can enter your home through construction flaws like cracks in your home’s foundation, gaps around plumbing or utility lines, and direct contact between wood and soil. Poorly ventilated crawl spaces and areas with high moisture levels create ideal conditions for termites to thrive. Addressing these vulnerabilities with proper maintenance and repairs can help prevent termite infestations.
Q: How can I tell if I have termites?
A: While you may notice swarming termites during certain times of the year, termites primarily operate underground and out of sight. Besides swarming pests, you may also spot discarded wings near windowsills, mud tubes on walls or foundations, and hollow-sounding timber.
However, because of their elusive nature and small size, professional termite inspection is often the most reliable method to detect an infestation. Our termite pest control experts use specialized tools and knowledge to detect signs of termites that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Q: How often should I schedule termite inspections?
A: We recommend annual termite inspections alongside our Sentricon termite protection, especially for homes in termite-prone areas or those with a history of termite issues. Early detection can significantly reduce the potential damage caused by termites and allow for timely intervention.
Q: What’s the best termite treatment for my home?
A: Most termites live underground, making them resistant to regular pest treatments. Professional treatments offer the best termite protection and are necessary for effective termite control.
