Termites & WDI Control In Houston, TX
Purchasing a new home is an investment in your family and your future. Therefore, it makes sense that you want to keep your investment safe and in good repair. Unfortunately, when wood-destroying insects make their way into your home, they will do everything to undo all your hard work, turning the wooden structures of your home into their own personal feeding grounds. Among the most common wood-destroying pests in Houston are subterranean termites. Termites in our area commonly target water-damaged wood in our structures, quietly invading from underground where they remain undetected while they destroy your property over time.

Buckling floorboards and ceilings.
Discarded wings from termite swarmers.

Our termite treatment includes digging the soil around the perimeter of your home and setting up termite bait stations.

Subterranean termites in Houston are attracted to water-damaged wood. Therefore, homes experiencing a degree of moisture problems often become targets of termite activity. Listed below are three additional factors that attract termites and allow them access to our homes.
Damp conditions: Subterranean termites require moisture for survival. They also know there is decaying wood in moisture-rich environments.
Soil-to-wood contact: Although subterranean termites can feed on any home, they prefer feeding on homes that offer areas with soil-to-wood contact. These include wooden decks, patios, or porches.
Woodpiles near your home: Before termites feed on your house, they will likely feed on a food source in your yard. Wooden items and structures that may draw termites include barns, brush piles, decks, fences, logs, stumps, and woodpiles.
You should never take chances when it comes to termites. These tiny pests have a big appetite for the structural wood of Houston homes and businesses, which means big trouble for the occupants of these structures.
