Winged termites or mud tubes? Do this first
- Note when you saw them. Night swarms around lights in late May or June point to Formosan termites; daytime swarms earlier in spring point to native subterranean termites (National Termite Survey).
- Keep a few wings or swarmers in a sealed bag for the inspector, and turn off outdoor lights on swarm evenings.
- Have a termite bond? Call your current company first. Your contract may already cover an inspection and retreatment.

Before you hire a termite company in Alabama
- Check the permit. Look up the company or technician on the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries Pesticide Applicator Search. Termite work is in the wood-destroying-organism category (Alabama Extension).
- Get the contract before any work. Alabama requires a written contract covering at least a year, with a foundation diagram, reinspection schedule, renewal fee and how long it's fixed, and the total price (Ala. Admin. Code r. 80-10-9-.16).
- Read the bold box on page one. It must say whether the contract covers retreatment only or retreatment and damage repair.
- Compare at least three quotes for the same method (liquid barrier or bait) and the same kind of bond.
- Don't assume insurance will pay. Standard homeowners policies generally exclude termite damage (Triple-I).
