Termite Pest Control in San Antonio

We provide termite control throughout San Antonio and Schertz and the surrounding Central Texas communities, with offices on Hansel Heights in Schertz and Eckhert Road in San Antonio. Texas is termite country, and we’ve been protecting homes here for twenty years. Call us, and we’ll tell you straight whether you’re in our service area, and if you are, we’ll get an inspector out fast.

Most people don’t know until they see a swarm or find damage, because termites work out of sight.

Watch for the signs of termites: mud tubes on foundation walls, discarded wings on windowsills, wood that sounds hollow when you tap it, and blistered or sagging spots in floors and walls.

You can probe exposed wood with a flathead screwdriver to check for hollow spots. If you find any of these, schedule an inspection. Ours are free, and knowing beats wondering.

Termites eat wood from the inside out, so the surface often looks fine while the structure underneath is failing.

Look for wood that sounds hollow when tapped, buckling or blistered paint, sagging floors, doors and windows that suddenly stick, and small holes in drywall.

By the time damage is visible, the colony has usually been at work for a while, which is why we recommend an inspection at the first suspicion rather than the first hole.

We eliminate the colony, then we “harden” your home or property.

Subterranean termites travel between the soil and your home, right? After we destroy the colony, we apply a liquid termiticide barrier around and beneath your home. Termites can’t detect it, so if they return, they’ll walk right in.

Bad news for the termites: termiticide sticks. Termites carry it back to the nest and spread it through the colony. Termites die, again. Then we place bait and monitoring stations at key points around your property. If new termites ever show up, the stations tell us before the termites reach your home.

Getting rid of termites starts with a full termite inspection to map the infestation and identify the species.

For subterranean termites, we treat the soil around and beneath the home with liquid termiticide, applied by trenching along the foundation.

For drywood termites, we treat the infested wood directly. Severe or widespread infestations sometimes call for stronger measures, and we’ll walk you through every option and its cost before any work begins.

Termite treatment cost depends on the species, your home's size, and how far the infestation has spread. It’s impossible, really, to even speculate.

Termite inspections are free, and you’ll get an honest quote and a clear scope of work before anything begins. Here’s the number that matters more: American homeowners spend over two billion dollars a year treating termites, and the earlier you catch them, the less you’ll ever spend.

Keep wood and water away from your foundation. Fix leaks quickly, keep gutters and downspouts working so the soil around your home stays dry, don’t let wood touch both the ground and your house, and never stack firewood against an exterior wall. Seal cracks in the foundation and around utility lines.

Then schedule periodic termite inspections, because the cheapest infestation is the one that never starts.

Some can, and it matters. Flying termites, called swarmers, are the colony’s reproducers.

They emerge in groups, usually in spring, to start new colonies, and a swarm inside your home almost always means an established colony is already there.

People often mistake winged termites for flying ants. Termite wings are equal in length, and their antennae are straight, while flying ants have longer front wings and bent antennae. If you see a swarm or piles of discarded wings, call us the same day.

Yes, when it’s done right, and doing it right is the whole job. Every termiticide we use is EPA-registered, and our licensed technicians apply each product exactly as the label directs, which is what keeps treatment effective against termites and safe for the people and pets who live there.

If anyone in your home has allergies or chemical sensitivities, tell us in advance, and we’ll plan the treatment around it. We treat your home like our family lives there too.
