Termite Facts for Texas Homeowners
Two Kinds of Homes
We have a saying in our office. In the Texas Coastal Region, there are only two kinds of homes, the ones that have termites and the ones that are going to get them.
Billion Dollar Damage
Subterranean termites cause between $1 and $7 billion in property damage across the United States each year, and most homeowners' insurance does not cover it.
Daily Destruction
A single colony can eat about a pound of wood a day, working around the clock to tear down your property.
Termite Threats
Why Termite Control Matters
Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage across the US every year. Do not let your property become one of those numbers.
They Work Around the Clock
Termites stay busy day and night, often unseen until the damage is already done.
Damage to Your Home's Frame
They can weaken the structure that holds up your home or business.
Act Early
Catching termites early keeps the damage and the repair bill down.
Prevention Pays Off
Treatment and monitoring stop costly repairs before they start.
Know Your Enemy
Types of Termites in South Texas
Termite species change from one part of the country to another. In our area, subterranean termites are the most likely to go after your home.
Subterranean Termites
The most destructive termites in our area. Their underground colonies can reach the millions, and they slip through cracks as narrow as 1/32 of an inch to get inside.
- Most likely to attack your home
- Underground colonies in the millions
- Enter through foundation cracks and gaps
- Need soil contact for moisture
Formosan Termites
An aggressive subterranean species nicknamed “super termites” for their huge colonies and how fast they eat through wood.
- Very large colonies
- Can build aerial nests
- The most destructive species
- Eat through wood quickly
Drywood Termites
These termites need no contact with soil. They can enter on any floor or through your attic instead of through foundation cracks.
- No soil contact needed
- Enter through attics and upper floors
- Leave behind pellet droppings
- Harder to catch early
Termite Damage
Why Termites Cause So Much Damage to Homes
They feed on the cellulose in wood and other plant fibers such as paper and cotton. While hunting for food, they also chew through plastics, rubber, and even thin metal.
How They Get In
They squeeze through cracks as narrow as 1/32 of an inch and slip in through foundation gaps.
Materials They Damage
They go after wood, paper, cotton fabrics, plastics, rubber, and even thin metal.
Repair Costs
They cause $1 to $7 billion in damage across the US each year, and most homeowners’ insurance leaves it out.
Wood Eaten Each Day
A colony can eat about a pound of wood a day, working without a break to wreck your property.
