Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Purdon's conditions — a climate typical of North Texas ranch country, hot for much of the year with brief winter cold — create exactly that. Housing spans established cattle-country towns to newer subdivisions on the region's growing exurban edge. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
