Signs You Have a Termite Problem
Termites are a silent threat. The damage they do to your home often goes unnoticed until it is too late. If you want to prevent major structural damage to your property, it is important to know the signs of a termite infestation. Some of the most common signs of a termite problem include:
- Hollow-sounding wood
- Warped or cracked wood
- Mud tubes or tunnels
- Damaged or hollow-sounding wood
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Small holes or tunnels
- Wings or frass
Additionally, termites cause damage by producing a lot of saliva when they eat. This saliva is what helps them break down wood. You may notice a lot of saliva on your wood, or it may appear as white dust. This dust is actually the feces of the termite.

How Can You Prevent Termite Infestations?
Preventing termite infestations involves a combination of proactive measures to make your property less attractive to termites and regular inspections to catch any potential issues early.
Here are some effective strategies for termite prevention:
- Maintain Proper Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in crawl spaces and attics to reduce moisture, as termites are attracted to damp environments.
- Address Moisture Issues: Fix any leaks in plumbing or roof structures promptly to prevent the accumulation of moisture, which attracts termites.
- Keep Wood Away from the Foundation: Avoid direct wood-to-soil contact around the foundation of your home. Keep firewood, wooden mulch, and other cellulose materials away from the house.
- Use Termite-Resistant Materials: When building or renovating, consider using termite-resistant materials such as pressure-treated wood or naturally resistant woods like cedar and redwood.
- Regular Inspections: Conduct regular inspections of your property, especially in vulnerable areas like basements, crawl spaces, and around the foundation. Look for signs of termite activity, such as mud tubes, damaged wood, or discarded wings.
- Seal Entry Points: Seal any cracks or openings in the foundation, walls, and roof to prevent termites from gaining easy access to the structure.
- Install Physical Barriers: Use physical barriers such as metal mesh or sand barriers during construction to prevent termites from entering the structure.
- Remove Termite Attractants: Remove dead trees, stumps, and other cellulose debris from around your property, as these can attract termites.
- Professional Pest Control Services: Consider hiring professional pest control services for regular inspections and preventive treatments. Professionals can provide expertise and apply termiticides or bait systems if needed.
- Bait Stations: Install termite bait stations around the perimeter of your property. These can attract termites away from the structure and provide an opportunity for control measures.
- Monitor Wooden Structures: Regularly inspect wooden structures for signs of termite activity. Pay attention to areas with high moisture content, such as basements and crawl spaces.
- Educate Yourself: Learn about the types of termites in your region, their behavior, and the signs of infestation. This knowledge can help you identify potential issues early.
By combining these preventive measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of termite infestations and protect your property from potential damage. Regular vigilance and timely action are key components of effective termite prevention.
The Right Termite Treatment for Your Home
No two termite infestations are the same, and each requires a unique treatment plan. We start by performing an inspection of your property to determine the type of termite present and the extent of the infestation. This inspection is free, and it is the first step in creating a customized plan of action to eliminate your termite problem. We also offer a free inspection to help you determine if your property is in a high-risk area. If so, you may be eligible for a free termite inspection and treatment.
Preventative Pest Solutions offers three types of termite control treatments to fit your needs:
- Liquid treatments are applied to your property to target and eliminate subterranean termites. These treatments are applied to the soil around your home and are effective in treating termite infestations.
- Baiting is a non-toxic way to eliminate termites. We place bait stations around your property to attract and kill the colony. This treatment is effective for both drywood and subterranean termites.
- Trench treatments are used to treat active termite infestations. A trench is dug around your property to reach the mud tubes that termites use to travel from their colony to your property. The trench is then treated with a chemical to kill the termites and destroy the mud tubes.

"We have been faithful customer's for many years in 2 different homes in The Woodlands. The guys were always professional and left service cards at the door. When we moved to the last home in 2014, we had a major cutter ant issue!! They appeared out of nowhere and were destroying everything in sight! I called the office in a panic and the gal got someone out the very next day. He not only took care of all the beds, he followed the ant trail all the way to the back of the preserve and knocked those suckers out! We now live in Denver, Colorado. I was so pleased to find a locally owned Preventative Pest control - they are awesome too. When we move back to TW, I'll just pick right back up with you guys!"

"I'm giving this five stars, for two reasons; 1. The staff you speak to on the phone are incredibly polite! If you have a problem, they will listen and do their 100% best to solve it. 2. When I had my initial service done, I felt, at the time, that it was not to my expectations. Immediately I called the customer service folks. The very next day they sent out a manager to come fix any concerns I had. I recommend this company because their prices are low and their service is excellent."
