Termite Control in San Antonio

Pest Control Services in South Texas

Termites are a significant concern for both homeowners and businesses. Our warm and humid climate creates an ideal environment for these destructive pests to thrive year-round. Our San Antonio office's experienced termite control technicians are skilled at removing and taking steps to proactively prevent infestations.

The most common species found in the Greater San Antonio area are subterranean termites. These termites build extensive underground colonies that can easily go undetected until severe damage occurs.

Termites can cause extensive and costly damage. These pests feed on the cellulose found in wood, paper, and other organic materials. As they chew through a property's structural components, they weaken the integrity of beams, walls, and floors.

This hidden destruction can lead to significant repair costs and even compromise the safety of your home or building. Unlike other pests, termites work silently, often causing severe damage before their presence is even noticed.

In addition to compromising structural integrity, termites can also reduce the value of your property. Prospective buyers are often wary of purchasing homes or commercial buildings with a history of termite infestations. For business owners, a termite infestation can mean not just expensive repairs but also lost revenue and a damaged reputation.

The sooner property owners can take action against infestations, the better the chances we can stop or mitigate the damage.

The Warning Signs of Termite Infestation

Give us a call if you notice the following signs of termites:

Mud tubes: Termites construct mud tubes to travel between their nests and food sources. These pencil-sized tunnels are typically found on the foundation of your home or along walls and can indicate subterranean termite activity.
Discarded wings: Termites shed their wings after swarming to find new colonies. Piles of these discarded wings near windowsills, doorways, or other entry points are a clear sign of termite presence.
Hollow-sounding wood: If you tap on wooden structures that sound hollow, termites may have eaten away the inside, leaving only a thin veneer of wood or paint. This is a serious indicator of an internal termite infestation.
Blistering or bubbling paint: Termites can cause paint to appear blistered or bubbled as they consume wood beneath the surface. This often mimics water damage but could be a sign of termites tunneling through the wood.
Frass sightings: Drywood termites leave behind small, pellet-like droppings known as frass. These mounds of tiny pellets near baseboards or windowsills are a clear indication of an infestation.

Our Termite Control Process

Buckin' Bugs Pest Control has extensive industry experience and has developed a strong protocol for dealing with termites:

Installation of the Trelona ATBS System

Our comprehensive termite control begins with the installation of the Trelona ATBS (Advance Termite Bait System). These bait stations are strategically placed around your property to intercept termites, providing a proactive defense aimed at eliminating entire colonies before they can cause significant damage.

Wall Void Termidor Foam Spot Treatment

For targeted infestations, we utilize Wall Void Termidor Foam Spot Treatment. This foam penetrates deep into wall voids and other hard-to-reach areas where termites may be hiding, giving us a better chance at extermination, and preventing further structural damage.

The Ongoing Inspection of All Stations

Regular inspections of all installed bait stations are an important key to the success of our termite control process. Our trained technicians monitor these stations to detect termite activity early, allowing for prompt intervention and the continuous protection of your property.

Replace Stations Affected by Termites

If any bait stations show signs of termite activity, we quickly replace them to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the system. This is done so termites are continuously attracted to the baits, thus providing an ongoing defense against future infestations.

Termite Prevention Tips

The ultimate objective is not simply dealing with your current infestation but preventing future ones.

The following termite prevention steps are ones you can DIY:

Reduce moisture: Termites thrive in moist environments. To reduce the likelihood of attracting termites, ensure your property has proper drainage, fix any leaky faucets or pipes, and use dehumidifiers in damp areas like basements, attics, or crawl spaces.
Store firewood away from the house: Firewood and other wooden materials should be stored at least 20 feet away from your home. Termites can easily travel from these woodpiles to your house, so keeping them at a safe distance helps minimize risk.
Maintain a gap between soil and wood: Make sure there is a visible gap between the soil and any wooden portions of your home's exterior, such as siding or door frames. This barrier helps prevent subterranean termites from gaining easy access to your home.
Seal cracks and crevices: Regularly inspect and seal any cracks or crevices in your foundation, walls, and around utility pipes. These gaps can serve as entry points for termites.
Inspect wooden structures regularly: Periodically check fences, decks, and other wooden structures around your property for signs of termite damage. Early detection of potential problems can help you address termite issues before they escalate into major infestations.
Use termite-resistant building materials: Consider using termite-resistant materials such as treated wood or metal when building or renovating. These materials are less susceptible to termite damage.

We offer an ongoing professional inspection program that can be a valuable addition to your own year-round DIY efforts.
