TERMITE CONTROL IN AUSTIN
Austin's warm climate and expansive clay soil make it one of the most termite-active regions in Texas. Subterranean termites thrive here — and most homeowners don't know they have them until the damage is already done. Free inspections, proven treatments, and ongoing protection.
WHY AUSTIN HOMES ARE AT RISK
Austin's heavy clay soil retains moisture — exactly the environment subterranean termites need to build their underground colonies and reach your home's foundation.
Central Texas rarely gets cold enough to slow termite activity. Unlike northern states, Austin termite colonies stay active nearly year-round, giving them more time to cause damage.
Central Austin neighborhoods like East Austin, South Austin, and Hyde Park are full of older wood-frame homes with pier-and-beam foundations — prime targets for subterranean and drywood termites.
The booming suburbs — Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, and beyond — have disturbed soil from construction that attracts displaced termite colonies looking for a new food source.
TERMITE SPECIES IN AUSTIN
Subterranean Termites
By far the most common in Austin and Travis County. They live underground in large colonies and build mud tubes up foundation walls to reach wood — often going undetected for years.
Formosan Termites
An aggressive subterranean species that has spread into the Austin area. Formosan colonies are much larger and can cause serious structural damage in a fraction of the time.
Drywood Termites
Found in attics, window frames, and furniture throughout Central Austin. They don't need soil contact and are often spread by infested wood or used furniture.
TERMITE TREATMENT OPTIONS
Every Austin home is different. Pier-and-beam bungalows in South Austin have different vulnerabilities than new slab-on-grade builds in Pflugerville. We'll recommend the right treatment — not the most expensive one.
LIQUID BARRIER
Termiticide applied around and beneath your home's foundation creates a continuous barrier in the soil. Foraging termites pass through it, carry it back to the colony, and the entire colony is eliminated. Highly effective for Austin's subterranean termite pressure.
BAIT STATIONS
In-ground stations placed around your property intercept termites before they reach your home. Termites take the bait back to the colony and eliminate it from the inside out. Checked and serviced quarterly.
DIRECT TREATMENT
For active infestations — targeted termiticide injection into galleries, foam application into wall voids, and spot treatments where termites are actively feeding. Often combined with a liquid barrier to prevent reinfestation.
WARNING SIGNS TO WATCH FOR
Termites are rarely spotted directly — but they leave clues. If you notice any of these in your Austin home, call for a free inspection before the damage gets worse.
