Termites love warm, damp weather, and our hot, humid summers and heavy storm seasons give them plenty of it. They eat wood from the inside, so a small sign can point to a bigger problem behind the walls.
Partmood Pest Control is a referral service. We connect homeowners in the Schertz area with independent termite providers in our network. The provider inspects, treats, and does the work. We put price first, so you can compare written quotes before you decide. Quote before work. Know the price.
Think You Have Termites? Start Here
You saw something odd. Maybe it was tiny wings on a windowsill, or a dirt-like line on a wall. Take a photo and do not disturb the spot. Then get a professional to look.
A local provider can confirm what you found. Many are able to respond quickly, though availability varies. Request a callback to check provider availability in your area.
Why Termites Need Prompt Attention
Termites work quietly. They chew wood from the inside and leave the surface looking fine. By the time a floor feels soft, the colony may have been busy for a long while.
Warm, wet weather helps them. After a big downpour, soil stays damp near the foundation. That is the kind of spot they like.
Waiting usually makes the repair bill bigger. Treatment is often cheaper than rebuilding framing.
Know the Warning Signs
Mud tubes
These are pencil-wide tunnels of dirt on foundation walls, piers, or slabs. They give termites a damp path to your wood.
Swarmers and shed wings
Winged termites leave the nest to start new colonies. Piles of small, matching wings near doors and windows are a strong clue.
Hollow or sagging wood
Tap baseboards and door frames. A papery, hollow sound is a reason to call a pro. Bubbling paint and sticking doors can also be signs.
Tiny pellets
Some termites leave small, six-sided droppings that look like sand or pepper. Look under window frames and in attic corners.
Types of Termites in Warm Climates
Subterranean termites
These live in the soil and travel up to your home. Slab-on-grade ranch homes and pier-and-beam houses can both be targets, because the wood sits close to the ground.
Drywood termites
These live inside the wood itself, with no soil link. They can show up in attics, trim, and furniture. Hot attics do not stop them.
Where You Can Help, and Where You Cannot
You can fix leaks, clear gutters, and move firewood away from the house. You can keep mulch a few inches below siding. You can also trim plants that touch walls.
These steps cut moisture and make your home less friendly to termites. They do not remove a colony that is already inside.
Store-bought sprays rarely reach the hidden nest. Professional gear and training matter here, since the job involves soil, foundations, and sometimes sealed-off walls.
How Termite Treatment Works
The inspection
The provider checks the outside, crawl space, attic, and walls. They look for live activity, past damage, and moisture. Ask for a written report with a simple diagram.
Liquid barriers and bait stations
A liquid treatment creates a protected zone in the soil around the home. Bait stations sit in the ground and draw termites in over time. Each has tradeoffs in speed, upkeep, and cost.
Spot treatment or whole-structure work
Small drywood problems may need only a targeted treatment. A bigger problem may call for tenting the whole house. Your quote should say which one applies and why.
What Shapes the Price
Home size, foundation type, and how far the activity has spread all matter. So do the treatment method and whether a renewal plan is included. Typical U.S. ranges are in the table above, and every job differs.
Why a Written Quote Matters
A written quote lists the method, the area covered, and the total. It also shows what happens if termites return. Compare two or three before you choose.
Termite Inspections for Home Sales
Many buyers and lenders ask for a termite report. A provider can inspect and write one. Sellers can order it early and avoid surprises late in the sale.
Choosing a Termite Provider
Ask if the provider is licensed in your state. Ask what product or method they plan to use, and whether a renewal plan applies. Ask who pays if termites come back. Get the answers in writing.
Be careful with anyone who pressures you to sign on the spot.
After Treatment
Keep the soil near your foundation dry. Fix leaks quickly and keep vents clear. Schedule yearly checks, since our humid, stormy seasons keep the risk alive.
Some policies may cover sudden damage, but termite damage is often excluded, so check your policy. Providers can often help document damage for a claim.

Questions
Termite Treatment Services FAQ
How do I know if I have termites?
Look for mud tubes on foundation walls, piles of shed wings, hollow-sounding wood, or tiny pellets. These signs can also come from other causes, so a licensed provider should inspect to confirm.
How much does termite treatment cost?
Typical U.S. costs run from a few hundred dollars for a small spot treatment to several thousand for a whole-house job. Home size, method, and damage all matter, so get a written quote.
Can I treat termites myself?
You can cut moisture and clear wood away from the house. But store-bought products rarely reach hidden colonies, so a professional is usually needed for real treatment.
