TERMITE
CONTROL
Termidor HP II — backed by a 5-YEAR money-back guarantee.
Most companies give a 1-year retreat. We give your money back for five years.
We Do Termites Differently
The pest control industry leans on bait stations and weaker liquid products that require annual retreats when termites return. We don't play that game.
Tall Paul applies Termidor HP II — a professional-grade fipronil formulation that binds to the soil and keeps working for up to 10 years. Termites pick it up, transfer it through their colony, and the colony collapses. It's not a barrier. It's elimination.
And unlike every other company in Middle Tennessee that offers a 1-year retreat if termites come back, we back our work with a 5-year, full money-back guarantee. Not a retreat. Your money back.
- Termidor HP II lasts ~10 years vs. annual bait station maintenance
- Crawlspace inspection + full perimeter treatment on every job
- Written inspection report included, no charge
- 5-year money-back if termites return — not a re-treat, your money back
What Happens When You Call Tall Paul
Four straightforward steps — from your call to a certified, warranted treatment.
Inspection & Written Report
A licensed technician inspects your crawlspace, foundation, and perimeter. You receive a detailed written report showing exactly where activity was found and what's being treated — no guesswork, no vague "we found some stuff."
Termidor HP II Treatment
We inject Termidor HP II into the soil around your entire foundation at the label-specified rate. The non-repellent formula means termites don't detect it — they walk through it, carry it back, and eliminate the colony from the inside out.
Crawlspace + Full Perimeter
We don't skip the crawlspace or do a partial treatment. Every linear foot of your perimeter is treated, and the crawlspace is inspected for moisture issues, previous damage, and active galleries — areas competitors routinely skip.
5-Year Money-Back Warranty
When the job is done, you receive a written 5-year warranty. If termites return within five years of treatment, we give you your money back — every dollar. No re-treat clause, no runaround. That's the Tall Paul guarantee.

Signs You May Have Termites
Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage in the U.S. every year — and most homeowners don't know they have a problem until the damage is already done. Watch for these signs.
Mud Tubes
Pencil-width tubes of dried mud along your foundation, piers, or floor joists. Subterranean termites build these to travel between the soil and your home's wood — they can't survive without humidity.
Swarmers
Flying termites (or their shed wings on windowsills and floors) typically appear in spring. A swarm indoors means an established colony is already living in or near your structure.
Hollow or Damaged Wood
Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, blistering paint that looks like water damage, or floors that feel spongy underfoot. Termites eat from the inside out, leaving a thin veneer that can collapse.
Discarded Wings
After swarmers find a new nesting site, they shed their wings. Piles of tiny, equal-length wings near doors, windows, and light fixtures are a strong indicator of active swarming activity nearby.
Noticed any of these? Don't wait. Call us for a free inspection before the damage gets worse.

Termite Questions, Answered Straight
No sales-speak. Here's what you actually want to know about termite treatment.
With bait stations and weaker liquid treatments, yes — termites frequently return because the products degrade within a year or two. That's why most companies only offer a 1-year retreat guarantee.
Termidor HP II binds to the soil and maintains efficacy for up to 10 years. In the rare event termites return within five years of our treatment, we don't just retreat — we give you your money back, every dollar.
Cost depends on your home's linear footage (the total perimeter of your foundation that needs treatment). The inspection is free, and we provide a written quote before any work begins. There are no surprise fees after the fact.
While Termidor HP II costs more upfront than bait stations, consider: you're paying once for up to 10 years of protection instead of paying for annual monitoring plus a retreat every time termites return. Most homeowners find the 5-year money-back guarantee makes it the lower-risk option.
Yes. Termidor HP II is applied to the soil around the exterior of your foundation — not sprayed inside your home. The active ingredient, fipronil, is labeled for use around homes and has an extensive safety record when applied per label directions by a licensed technician.
We'll advise you on any re-entry intervals specific to your property, though in most standard applications there are no restrictions on normal activity in or around the home after treatment.
Independent field studies have documented Termidor's effectiveness for 10 or more years in most soil conditions. It binds tightly to organic matter in the soil and does not break down rapidly from rain or UV exposure because it's subsurface.
Our 5-year money-back guarantee is conservative relative to the product's actual performance — but it's the guarantee we stand behind with real dollars, not just a promise to come back and spray again.
