Termite Control in Dallas, TX

Termites are the pest that can quietly cost you tens of thousands of dollars before you ever see one. In North Texas the primary threat is the subterranean termite, which lives in the soil and tunnels up into your home's wood. They work from the inside out, so damage is often advanced before any visible sign appears — which is exactly why inspection matters.

Signs of termites

• Mud tubes — pencil-width earthen tunnels on foundation walls and piers, the classic subterranean sign.
• Swarmers — winged termites (or discarded wings on windowsills), typically in spring.
• Hollow-sounding or blistered wood, sticking doors and windows, sagging floors.
• Damaged wood with soil inside the galleries (unlike clean carpenter-ant galleries).

How we treat them

After inspection we recommend the right method for the situation: a liquid soil barrier around the foundation that termites can't cross, or an in-ground bait system that colonies feed on and carry back to eliminate the nest. Both work at the soil-to-structure boundary, because that's where subterranean termites travel. Exact cost varies by method and home size, so we quote after inspection rather than over the phone.

Why North Texas homes need monitoring

Because subterranean termites hide their work, a home can be under attack for a long time before you notice. Annual inspection — and ongoing monitoring with a bait system — catches activity early, before structural damage, which is the difference between a manageable treatment and a major repair-plus-treatment bill. This is cheap insurance relative to what termites can cost.

Prevention

Reduce wood-to-soil contact, fix moisture problems and leaks, keep mulch and firewood away from the foundation, and maintain proper drainage. We'll flag conducive conditions during inspection.
