Where to begin
Which Houston termite page to read first
If you have not had an inspection yet, start there, because every treatment decision depends on what the inspector finds and which termite you have. If subterranean or Formosan termites are confirmed, read liquid barrier treatment and bait station systems to compare the two approaches. If you have found soft or hollow wood, read wood damage assessment. The quick answers on the FAQ page cover common questions briefly.
Houston termite problems come from a few recurring conditions: warm, humid weather most of the year, moist soil against foundations, wood close to the ground in older pier-and-beam houses, and gaps through slabs in newer ones. Each service page explains how a professional deals with those conditions.
