What HomeGard PLUS includes
HomeGard protection with termite monitoring added
The HomeGard PLUS Pest Control Plan keeps the full home, lawn, and exterior rodent protection included with HomeGard. It adds a detailed termite inspection, two TB1 monitors, and a monitor check during every scheduled visit.
Detailed termite inspection
We inspect accessible areas for visible termite activity, mud tubes, and conditions that may support termite activity.
Two TB1 monitors
We place two termite monitors around the home and leave them in place as part of the ongoing program.
Checks during every visit
We inspect both monitors during each scheduled HomeGard PLUS service, not only once a year.
Monitor activity treatment
If termites appear inside a monitor, we treat that activity with fipronil and continue checking the monitor.
Spot treatment savings
You receive 25 percent savings on each qualifying termite spot treatment affecting less than 10 linear or square feet.
What to expect
How the HomeGard PLUS Pest Control Plan works
The first service establishes the HomeGard protection around your property and adds the termite monitoring system. Later visits adjust for seasonal pest pressure while keeping the termite monitors and exterior rodent stations under regular observation.
1
Inspect and set up protection
We inspect inside and outside, treat covered pest activity, address lawn fire ants, evaluate rodent entry points, complete appropriate small repairs, install two exterior rodent stations, and place two TB1 termite monitors.
2
Protect and monitor
Four scheduled visits focus on seasonal household pests, carpenter ants, fire ants, exterior rodent conditions, and a check of both termite monitors.
3
Respond to activity
Covered pests receive qualifying warranty service. If a termite monitor shows activity, we treat the activity inside the monitor and explain whether the structure needs a separately priced treatment.
Termite monitoring
What the HomeGard PLUS termite program actually does
Termite monitoring gives us another way to watch for activity near the home. We combine visual inspection with two TB1 monitors that remain around the structure. During every scheduled visit, we check the monitors and look for mud tubes, visible activity, and conditions that deserve attention.
When termites appear inside a monitor, we treat that activity with fipronil and continue monitoring. Activity at the structure requires a separate treatment recommendation. HomeGard PLUS customers receive 25 percent savings on each qualifying spot treatment of less than 10 linear or square feet, and as many qualifying spots as necessary may be treated.

Exterior rodent protection
The complete HomeGard rodent program is still included
HomeGard PLUS includes the same exterior rodent protection as HomeGard. We inspect likely entry points, repair accessible small openings with appropriate materials, and install two rodenticide stations around the perimeter. We service the stations at least quarterly.
If rodents are already active inside when the plan begins, removal and corrective work require a separate estimate. If rodents break through after enrollment, we trap them, identify the failure, and correct a failed entry repair at no additional charge. Exterior rodent breach coverage begins after the preventive system is established and continues under the combined year round warranty. Rodents already inside when the plan begins require a separate bid.

The science of pest control
Monitoring supports a more targeted approach
HomeGard PLUS uses the PerimeterGard approach developed by Dr. Scott Lingren. It is built around Integrated Pest Management, so we identify the pest, understand its biology, and use prevention, monitoring, and targeted treatment where each will do the most good. A 2002 study of an IPM program in federal buildings reported a 93 percent reduction in pesticide use while pest service requests dropped 89 percent.

What HomeGard PLUS includes and what is priced separately
HomeGard PLUS provides broad pest protection and ongoing termite monitoring. Some existing infestations, inspections, and treatments still require separate service.
Termite treatment at the structure
HomeGard PLUS monitors for termite activity. Treatment at the structure is separate. Qualifying spot treatments receive 25 percent savings.
WDIR inspections
A Wood Destroying Insect Report for a real estate transaction is a separate inspection and service.
Existing or specialized infestations
Rodents already inside, German cockroaches, bed bugs, active flea or tick infestations, mosquitoes, wildlife, and other excluded pests require separate service.

The HomeGard PLUS Pest Control Plan guarantee
HomeGard PLUS has one combined warranty throughout the year and every season for pests and services covered by the plan. We provide warranty service at no additional charge as often as reasonably needed. Routine household pest service aims for at least a 90 percent reduction in listed pests in covered areas. The warranty does not extend to excluded pests, indoor rodent infestations present at enrollment, or repairs requiring another trade. Termite monitoring does not include free house treatment or a termite damage repair warranty. Most treatments need 10 to 14 days to reach full effectiveness. If covered activity remains after that period or returns between scheduled visits, contact us for qualifying warranty service at no additional charge. Exterior rodent protection follows its specific warranty terms. The termite portion is a monitoring service, with treatment at the structure priced separately. The service agreement controls the full terms and available remedies.
Common questions
HomeGard PLUS Pest Control Plan FAQs
What does the HomeGard PLUS Pest Control Plan include?
HomeGard PLUS includes everything in HomeGard: Quarterly Pest Control, carpenter ant protection, whole lawn fire ant management, and exterior rodent protection. It also adds termite inspection and monitoring with two TB1 monitors.
How does the termite monitoring work?
We inspect accessible areas for visible termite activity and conducive conditions, place two TB1 monitors around the home, and check them during every scheduled visit. If termites appear inside a monitor, we treat that activity with fipronil and continue monitoring.
Is termite treatment included with HomeGard PLUS?
Treatment at the structure is priced separately. HomeGard PLUS customers receive 25 percent savings on each qualifying spot treatment affecting less than 10 linear or square feet. As many qualifying spots as necessary may be treated.
What qualifies as a termite spot treatment?
A qualifying spot treatment addresses a specific affected location measuring less than 10 linear or square feet. If activity is broader or the structure needs another treatment approach, we explain the recommendation and provide separate pricing.
Do I need to be home for every service?
Usually, no. Most scheduled visits focus on the exterior, including the termite monitors and rodent stations. If indoor treatment is needed, we will arrange an appointment.
What is included with exterior rodent protection?
We inspect likely entry points, repair accessible small openings with appropriate materials, install two exterior rodenticide stations, and service the stations at least quarterly. Larger repairs are referred for carpentry.
Are mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks included?
No. Regular mosquito service and lawn flea and tick prevention are included with YardGard and TotalGard. A separate service can address those pests when needed.
Are there property restrictions or additional charges?
The listed price is for single family homes up to 3,500 square feet on lots up to one quarter acre. Additional charges may apply to larger properties or existing infestations that require separate treatment. We use the house and lot sizes you provide and may reference the Brazos Central Appraisal District when needed. Venus does not routinely measure the property.
