Termite Control in San Antonio

Why termites are a serious problem in San Antonio

South-Central Texas is prime termite country. The eastern subterranean termite thrives in the warm, humid climate, and much of Bexar County sits on Blackland Prairie clay that holds moisture against foundations and slabs, exactly the damp soil contact subterranean termites need to reach the wood of your home.

Because these termites travel underground and inside the wood, a colony can feed on the structure of a house for a long time before a homeowner ever sees it. By the time you notice, the repair bill is often far larger than the cost of staying protected in the first place.

Signs of termites San Antonio homeowners should watch for

A few things tend to give termites away around here:

• Pencil-width mud tubes running up a foundation wall, pier, or slab edge
• A spring swarm of winged termites, often after a warm rain, with discarded wings left on windowsills
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, or paint that looks blistered or rippled
• Tight-fitting doors and windows as damaged wood warps
• Small piles of what looks like sawdust or pellets near baseboards

How our termite treatment works

It starts with a thorough inspection. A technician checks the foundation, crawl spaces, the areas where wood meets soil, and the moisture-prone spots where termites get a foothold, then identifies whether you have active termites and where they are getting in.

From there we put a treatment plan in front of you built for your home and the activity we find. The goal is to address the termites you have and establish protection that keeps working, not a one-and-done spray that leaves the colony intact.

As a division of Bob Jenkins Pest Control Inc., we can cover the rest of your home too, so the same trusted team handling your termites can also keep mosquitoes, ants, roaches, and the other San Antonio pests in check.
