Common questions
Are termite companies licensed in Texas?
Yes. Termite inspection and treatment are licensed through the Texas Department of Agriculture Structural Pest Control Service.
What are signs of termites?
Mud tubes, swarmers, damaged trim, hollow-sounding wood, stuck doors, and moisture problems can all point to termites. A licensed inspection confirms it.
Do I need liquid treatment or bait stations?
It depends on structure, soil, access, activity, and preference. The inspector should explain why one method fits the home better.
Can termites come back after treatment?
Yes. Treatment lowers risk and controls activity, but moisture, wood contact, and new colonies can create future problems. Warranties and inspections matter.
Do you inspect before buying a home?
Yes. A wood-destroying insect inspection is common in real estate transactions. Schedule early so findings do not jam the closing timeline.
Does coastal humidity make termites worse?
Humidity and moisture help create termite-friendly conditions. Fix leaks, drainage, wood-to-ground contact, and wet crawlspaces when they are found.
