About Termites:
Termites live in colonies in the ground, building vertical tunnels that look like mud tubes above ground level so that they can search for food. Because termites will die if exposed to air for an extended period of time, the tunnels provide protection from the open air, allowing workers to carry food to the nest. Termites can form tunnels through cracks in concrete, so slab homes are not exempt from termites.

Termites randomly forage through the soil constantly searching for a food source. They do not intentionally set out to destroy your house; they just see it as another food source. If your home has not been treated and they are in your neighbor's house, chances are they will eventually run into yours.

Liquid treatments applied to the soil is the standard practice for treating a structure against termites. It is used to kill termites quickly and to create a barrier to prevent entry or reentry into a structure. TERMITE CONTROL BASTROP TEXAS uses liquid termiticides which quick results, and when properly placed into the soil under and around a structure, it creates a continuous chemical barrier which blocks potential routes of termite entry.

• Ensure that all structural wood is at least six inches above ground level to reduce access by subterranean termites.
• Do not use wood mulch and keep all mulch sparse and well away from contact with any structural wood.
• Keep the area around your home clear of dead trees, stumps,
• Store firewood well away from any structure.
• Keep gutters and down-spouts clear of organic material and accumulated moisture.
• Grade or slop soil away from the foundation near downspouts and around the structure.
• Keep water pipes and faucets in good repair so that water does not leak.
• Do not plant within three feet of the home, and trim back limbs and branches so they do not contact the structure.
• Keep crawl spaces well ventilated. If using a vapor barrier (plastic sheeting on 3/4 of the soil) - have at least one square foot of venting for every 300 to 500 square feet.
• Seal where possible.
• Inspect your home at least annually to all the above recommendations are being maintained and that no moisture, food, or shelter is being built up for the survival of these – or other pests of the home.
