Austin Termite Treatment

The Termite Control Package

Termites can cause severe structural damage to homes and commercial properties if left untreated. These pests quietly chew through wood, weakening the foundation of your property over time. That’s why investing in professional termite treatment in Austin is essential for long-term protection.

At BUGCO® Pest Control, our termite solutions are designed specifically for Central Texas conditions. We focus on accurate identification, targeted treatment, and prevention strategies that protect your property year-round. If you’re exploring broader protection options, our full pest control services in Austin provide comprehensive coverage beyond termites.

There are three common termite species found in the Austin area:

Subterranean termites – Live underground and build mud tubes to access wood
Drywood termites – Infest dry wooden structures without soil contact
Dampwood termites – Thrive in moisture-damaged wood

Subterranean termites are the most destructive and common in Austin, especially in areas with slab foundations and clay-heavy soil.

Why Are Termites a Problem?

Austin’s warm climate, seasonal rain, and mix of older pier-and-beam homes and newer slab foundations create ideal conditions for termite activity. Homes in South Austin, Pflugerville, and surrounding neighborhoods are particularly vulnerable due to soil composition and moisture retention.

Beyond structural damage, untreated termite infestations can:

Lower property value
Lead to costly repairs
Create issues during real estate transactions

Routine inspections and proactive treatment significantly reduce long-term risk. Many homeowners pair termite services with ongoing local pest control in Austin to maintain consistent protection.

How BUGCO^® Pest Control Deals With Termites in Austin

Every service begins with a detailed termite inspection to identify activity, entry points, and the species involved. Based on our findings, we recommend a customized treatment plan designed for your property.

Our termite control process may include:

Soil trenching and barrier treatments around foundations
Targeted applications at active infestation points
Long-term prevention planning based on structure type and moisture conditions

We use professional-grade products applied by licensed technicians, ensuring treatments are effective while remaining safe for families and pets.

Preparing for a Termite Visit in Austin

A little preparation helps make your termite inspection smoother and more effective. Before your appointment, we may ask you to:

Clear access to garage walls, closets, and utility areas
Remove debris or stored items near the foundation
Provide access to crawl spaces or attic areas if applicable

During the inspection, we’ll explain any findings, identify high-risk areas, and walk you through your treatment options so you can make an informed decision.

Professional Termite Treatment in Austin

Termite control is not a DIY project. Professional treatments provide deeper protection and longer-lasting results than over-the-counter solutions.

When you choose BUGCO®, you can expect:

Thorough inspections of interior and exterior areas
Clear explanations of treatment methods and timelines
Flexible scheduling to minimize disruption
Ongoing support and follow-up recommendations

Many Austin homeowners combine termite services with preventative termite treatment plans to protect against future infestations.

Commonly Asked Questions

What are the signs of a termite infestation?

Common signs include mud tubes along foundations, discarded wings near windows, hollow-sounding wood, and visible frass (termite droppings).

How often should I get a termite inspection?

We recommend annual inspections for Austin homeowners, especially for older homes or properties with previous termite activity.

Can I treat termites myself?

DIY treatments may provide temporary relief but rarely eliminate the colony. Professional treatment is more effective and includes long-term protection.

How long does professional termite treatment take?

Treatment times vary based on severity but typically range from a few hours to a full day.

Are your treatments safe for pets and children?

Yes. We use EPA-approved products applied by trained professionals to ensure safety when used as directed.

What’s the difference between drywood and subterranean termites?

Drywood termites infest dry wood structures and don’t need soil contact. Subterranean termites live underground and build mud tubes to reach food sources. Both types require different treatment approaches.

How do termites get into homes?

They enter through foundation cracks, expansion joints, plumbing gaps, roof damage, and even unsealed windows. Regular maintenance can help reduce entry points.

For many property owners, one of the biggest concerns is choosing between different treatment approaches and understanding what will work best for their situation. When you contact us for termite control, we walk you through options such as soil treatments, localized applications, or integrated plans that pair monitoring with targeted treatments. We explain how each option fits common construction types in the Austin area and what kind of follow-up may be recommended so you can make an informed decision that fits your budget and comfort level.
