Termite Treatment Options in Van

Termites in Van homes come in two main kinds, and the kind decides the treatment. Soil-dwelling subterranean termites nest in the soil and travel up through earthen tunnels along foundations and crawl space walls. Drywood termites nest in the wood itself and push out tiny pellets below the damaged wood. Soil barriers, bait stations and whole-house tenting each fit certain situations, and a technician walks through the tradeoffs after an inspection. Yearly inspections and a careful look at the warranty terms matter as much as the treatment. Termite damage often stays hidden inside walls, so winged swarmers or mud tubes by the foundation are worth a call before more wood is damaged.

Before the Exterminator Arrives

  • Leave the damage alone. Do not scrape away mud tubes or poke damaged wood until someone has seen it. Disturbing it or spraying can scatter termites and make the evidence harder to read.
  • Save swarmers and wings. Collect a few winged insects or shed wings in a sealed jar or tape them to a card. That helps the inspector tell termites from flying ants.
  • Take photos and note dates. Photograph mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, pellets and any swarm. A record helps at the inspection and with any warranty or sale paperwork.
  • Reduce moisture around the house. Fix leaks, clear gutters, and move wood, mulch and cardboard away from the foundation. Do not carry infested wood or firewood into other parts of the property.

Signs You Need Pest Control For Termites

  • Mud tubes on foundation walls. Subterranean termites build earthen tunnels about the width of a pencil from the soil up to the wood, along foundations, piers and crawl space walls.
  • Swarmers or shed wings near windows. Winged termites emerge in spring or after rain for many species, and leave piles of equal-length wings near windows, doors and lights. Flying ants have bent antennae and a pinched waist.
  • Hollow-sounding or sagging wood. Subterranean termites eat wood from the inside along the grain, so floors, baseboards and door frames may sound hollow when tapped, or paint may bubble.
  • Tiny pellets like sand or sawdust. Drywood termites push small, hard, six-sided pellets out of tiny kick holes, and these pile up below infested wood in attics, trim and furniture.
  • Doors and windows that suddenly stick. Damaged wood or moisture from termite activity can warp frames. Sticking doors do not prove termites by themselves, so an inspection is the way to know.

Local conditions

Pest Control For Termites in Van: What to Know

In Texas and Oklahoma, subterranean termites are common in warm soil, Formosan termites occur in parts of Texas near the Gulf, and swarms often appear in spring. Texas sits in the very heavy termite zone, so a termite inspection is worth doing before you buy a house and again every year or two.

Calls about termite problems come from every Van ZIP code, day and night.

How the Job Is Done

  • Inspect and confirm the type. The technician checks the foundation, crawl space, attic, trim and every place wood touches soil, taps suspect wood and decides whether the termites are subterranean or drywood. The type decides the options.
  • Choose the treatment. Subterranean termites are handled with a liquid barrier in the soil, bait stations, or both. Drywood termites throughout a house may call for tenting, while a small area can sometimes get a spot treatment.
  • Monitor and renew. Annual inspections and warranties are common. Read what the warranty covers, such as retreatment only or retreatment plus repair, and what yearly renewals cost.
