Editorial policy for our Houston termite content
How the termite pages on this Houston site are researched, checked and corrected, and the topics we choose to leave alone.
Our sources
Where the Houston termite facts come from
Treatment methods follow the US Environmental Protection Agency's public termite guidance, which describes soil-applied termiticides and baits. Who may apply pesticides around Texas buildings comes from the Texas Department of Agriculture. Species details for Formosan, eastern subterranean and drywood termites come from published species references, and the history of each Houston neighborhood from established local references. Numbered source links appear at the foot of the page that relies on them.
House rules
What every termite page here sticks to
- Treatment figures and job quotes never appear outside the legal pages.
- Pages never claim Houston jobs, crews, arrival windows, star ratings or awards.
- Drilling, trenching, pesticide use and structural repair are always described as work for licensed professionals.
- Each heading and paragraph is written for this termite site alone.
Image labels
How the pictures are labeled
Every picture on this Houston site is an AI illustration created for it. Paired before-and-after pictures carry an illustrative label and never stand in for finished jobs. Alt text describes only what the picture shows.
Corrections
Fixing mistakes and outdated guidance
If federal guidance, a product label rule or a Texas licensing requirement changes, or a reader spots an error, the affected page is revised and its date updated. To flag something, call the number on the site and say it is about a correction.
Independence
Who does and does not shape these pages
Termite professionals who answer calls have no hand in writing or approving this content. Being connected to one is not a recommendation, so confirm their Texas license and ask for the treatment plan on paper.
Plain language
Keeping the language plain
Words like swarmer, alate, mud tube, bait station, termiticide and bath trap are explained where they first come up, and everyday words are used wherever they do the job.
Review rhythm
When pages get a second look
Each page is checked against its sources when written, and again when EPA guidance or Texas structural pest control rules change, with extra attention each spring before swarm season.
