Termite Control in Murfreesboro, TN

Family-Owned Termite Protection for Rutherford County Homeowners

Termites don’t announce themselves. By the time you notice damage, a colony may have been quietly feeding for months. Sherrill Pest Control has been protecting Middle Tennessee homes from wood-destroying insects since 1975, and we bring that same family-run consistency to termite control in Murfreesboro. We’re QualityPro certified, rated 4.9 stars across more than 1,300 reviews, and we’re not a national franchise. When you call us, you get the same team, the same accountability, and honest answers about what your home actually needs.

Murfreesboro’s hot, humid summers and mild winters keep eastern subterranean termite colonies active for much of the year. Rutherford County homeowners face real, ongoing termite pressure, and waiting until damage is visible is a costly approach.

How Our Sentricon Termite Treatment Works

We use the Sentricon Termite System with Always Active Technology as our primary termite treatment method. It’s an eco-friendly, science-backed approach that targets the entire colony rather than just foraging workers.

Here’s how the process works, from your first call to long-term protection:

• Property inspection: A Sherrill Pest Control termite exterminator inspects your home for signs of activity, including mud tubes, hollow wood, and evidence of prior damage.
• Bait station installation: Sentricon bait stations are placed in the soil around your home’s perimeter, positioned to intercept foraging workers before they reach your foundation.
• Colony reduction: Termites carry the bait back to the colony. The active ingredient disrupts the molting process termites need to survive and reproduce, preventing the colony from sustaining itself. The bait spreads through the colony, including the queen.
• Ongoing monitoring: After termite activity is addressed, bait stations remain in place to monitor for new termite activity year-round.

If we find active termite activity during an inspection, we can implement treatment the same day. The Sentricon system provides 24/7, 365-day monitoring between annual visits. Eastern subterranean termites, the dominant species in Rutherford County, travel through soil and enter structures at the foundation level. In-ground bait stations placed around your perimeter are designed to intercept them there.
