Texas Termite Zone
Texas Sits in the "Heavy" Termite Zone
The humid coastal air across South, Central, and East Texas is exactly what termites need to grow. When a colony goes unnoticed, it can do thousands of dollars in damage to a home over time.
Termite Facts for Texas Homeowners
Two Kinds of Homes
We say it all the time at the office. In the Texas Coastal Region, your home either has termites or it will.
Billion Dollar Damage
Subterranean termites cause $1 to $7 billion in property damage across the United States each year, and most homeowners' policies will not pay for it.
Daily Destruction
A single colony puts away about a pound of wood a day, chewing through your property around the clock.
Termite Threats
Why Termite Control Matters
Termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage nationwide every year. Keep your property out of that total.
They Work Around the Clock
Termites feed at all hours and usually stay hidden until the damage is clear.
Damage to Your Home's Frame
They can weaken the framing that supports your home or business.
Act Early
Catching the problem early keeps both the damage and the cost low.
Prevention Pays Off
Treatment and monitoring head off expensive repairs.
Know Your Enemy
Types of Termites in South Texas
Termite species vary across the country. Around here, subterranean termites are the ones most likely to target your home.
Subterranean Termites
The most destructive termites in our region. Their underground colonies can reach the millions, and they fit through cracks as thin 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 known as “super termites” thanks to their massive colonies and how fast they consume wood.
- Massive colonies
- Can build aerial nests
- The most destructive species
- Consume wood rapidly
Drywood Termites
These termites need no soil contact. They can get in on any floor or through your attic instead of through foundation cracks.
- No soil contact needed
- Enter through attics and upper floors
- Leave pellet droppings behind
- Hard to detect 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 looking for food, they also damage plastics, rubber, and even thin metal.
How They Get In
They pass through cracks as narrow as 1/32 of an inch and enter 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 does not cover it.
Wood Eaten Each Day
A colony eats about a pound of wood a day and never lets up on your property.
