Francitas's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A mix of established Houston-area neighborhoods and rapidly expanding new suburban development, nearly all on slab foundations. Combined with the local climate — a climate defined by heat, humidity, and flood risk given the region's flat, low-lying terrain — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
