Termite Treatment

Your Home is Not A Snack 

Let’s be honest for a second. We all have that one family member who comes over, eats everything in the fridge, and overstays their welcome. But at least they don’t try to eat the framing of your living room wall. Termites are the ultimate freeloaders. In South Texas, they work 24/7/365 to turn your biggest investment into their personal salad bar.

We have spent 30+ years serving the Corpus Christi  and greater South Texas area, so we know exactly how these little wood-munching villains operate. If you suspect your home has become an all-you-can-eat buffet, don’t panic. We are here to serve them a very permanent eviction notice.

The Most Wanted List: Wood-Destroying Villains

Subterranean Termites: The underground operatives. They build mud tubes from the soil to your foundation and are the #1 threat in Corpus Christi.

Drywood Termites: The attic dwellers. They don't need soil contact and get moisture right from the wood, meaning they can hide anywhere in your framing.

Formosan Termites: Termites on steroids. These aggressive super-termites have massive colonies and eat wood at terrifying speeds.

Powderpost Beetles: If you see tiny pinholes and flour-like dust piles, these guys are turning your wood into powder from the inside out.

Wood Boring Beetles: Nature’s uninvited drill press. They leave larger exit holes than their cousins and love to target older, untreated lumber.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I just treat termites myself with stuff from the hardware store?
You can try, but it’s like trying to put out a forest fire with a water gun. Over-the-counter sprays only kill the termites you see, not the millions in the colony underground. Leave the heavy artillery to us.

How do I know if it’s a flying ant or a termite?
Great question. Termites have straight antennae and a thick waist (no hourglass figure here). Ants have bent antennae and a pinched waist. If you are close enough to check their waistline, just call us to be sure.

How long does a termite treatment last?
Liquid treatments can last for several years, depending on the chemical used and soil conditions. However, we recommend annual inspections to make sure the barrier is still holding strong.

Do I have to tent my house?
Not always! Fumigation is usually required for Drywood termites. For the Subterranean termites common in South Texas, we typically treat the soil around the foundation. We will let you know which method is necessary after our inspection.

I have a brick home. I’m safe, right?
We wish. Even brick homes have wood frames, wall studs, and floor joists. Termites are experts at finding tiny cracks in the brick or slab to get to the tasty wood inside.

When is termite season in Corpus Christi?
Because of our mild winters, "termite season" is pretty much all year long. However, you will most likely see them swarming (flying around looking for love and a new home) in the spring.
