Termite Damage

Termites are a serious threat to your home

Termite season starts in early spring in Houston, as soon as it starts to get warm and the humidity cranks up. In late February or early March, termites will emerge from their nests and swarm.Termites are most obvious in the spring, but it’s still important to keep an eye out for termite damage throughout the year.

Termites cause billions of dollars of damage every year in the United States. They primarily eat wood, but but are known to enjoy the paper in books, trees, plants, and have even been known to eat parts of swimming pools. Houston and all of Harris County are prime termite territory, with our long, hot and humid summers and mild winters. Added to this perfect termite climate, human beings have given termites an ideal environment to breed - our houses give them safety, shelter, free food and protection from natural predators. Constant vigilance against termites is just part of living in Southeast Texas.

Preventing Termite Damage in Houston

Termites, if left unchecked, will destroy your home. This is not an exaggeration - termites will gnaw away at the wood frame that holds your house together, eat away at your floorboards, even eat the roof off from over your head - literally eating you out of house and home.

Even if if there is not yet any termite damage, termites can prevent you from selling your home. Without a passing termite inspection the sale of any home could be held up indefinitely.

The best way to prevent termite damage is to prevent termites from ever entering your home. Annual treatment from a qualified termite control company will create a safe, effective barrier that keeps termites out of your home. Acting before termites strike will help protect your home, your investment, and your family.
