Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Odem's conditions — a humid subtropical climate in the Hill Country transitioning to a warmer, semi-arid climate farther south toward the Rio Grande Valley — create exactly that. A blend of Hill Country stone construction and warmer-climate South Texas homes built for heat rather than cold. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
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.
