Subterranean Termites in Texas
Texas is home to the destructive subterranean termite which causes millions of dollars of damage to homes and businesses in the state. These termites live in the soil and can infest a house if preventative measures are not taken.
Termite Treatment for Existing Houses
In existing houses a termite treatment can stop a current infestation and prevent further damage to the house. A professional can drill into the soil around the house and the foundation, crawl space and walls and inject chemicals that will stop the termites. There are also baits that can attract termites to keep them from going into the house in the first place.
Termite Treatments for New Construction
When constructing a new house there are also many methods that can prevent termite infestations including special plastic linings, soil treatments and special treatments that are applied as soon as the foundation is poured. These methods can prevent the possibility of termite infestations for years but all home owners should still be wary of this destructive pest.
Preventing subterranean termite damage in your new or existing home is less expensive than trying to correct the termite damage once it is already done. An inspection can determine if there is an infestation and what kind of treatment your house may need to keep it safe.
