Termites cause more property damage in the US than fires and floods combined - and Texas has multiple active termite species. Annual termite inspection costs $0-$200, treatment runs $1,200-$3,500 for a typical home depending on infestation type (subterranean vs. drywood) and treatment method (liquid barrier, baiting, fumigation). Get free quotes from licensed Texas pest control operators (PCOs).
Texas's long brutal summers and increasingly cold winter snaps make termite control & treatment a meaningful decision for any homeowner. Local factors like high cooling demand and post-2021 grid concerns affect both pricing and product selection. Comparing 2-3 quotes from licensed local contractors is the single best way to land on fair pricing and a contractor you trust.

Texas hosts subterranean termites in most regions. Coastal and southern TX also have Formosan or drywood termites - which require fumigation-class treatments rather than soil barriers. Your inspector should identify the species before recommending treatment.
Liquid soil treatments (Termidor, Premise) protect the perimeter and kill colony members on contact - effective for subterranean termites. Bait stations (Sentricon) eliminate the colony over months. Most TX homeowners get good results from either; the right choice depends on your home's foundation type and the inspector's recommendation.
Yes - an annual Texas termite service contract typically costs $250-$450 per year and includes re-treatment if termites reappear. Most TX home buyers and refinance lenders look favorably on active termite bonds. Lapse on the bond is when re-infestations get expensive.
