Service Overview

What Termite Control Covers

Termite control is the process of inspecting a property for active termite activity, treating confirmed infestations, and installing ongoing protection — usually bait stations or a liquid barrier — so termites can't re-establish. In New Braunfels and throughout Comal County, Eastern subterranean termites are the primary concern given the area's warm, moisture-retaining soil and near year-round mild temperatures, which keep colonies active far longer into the year than in colder climates.

Because termite damage happens out of sight — inside wall voids, under slab foundations, behind baseboards — it's genuinely common for a homeowner to have an active colony for months or years before noticing anything. That's exactly why inspection matters as much as treatment, and why we never skip a full perimeter and accessible-interior check before recommending a plan.

Common Questions

Termite Control FAQ

How much does termite treatment cost?
It depends heavily on the treatment method and the size of the property — a small, localized spot treatment costs meaningfully less than a full liquid barrier around an entire foundation. See our Cost & Pricing page for real 2026 ranges, or call for an exact quote after a free inspection confirms what your property actually needs.
Is termite treatment safe for pets and kids?
Bait station systems have minimal exposure risk since they're installed in the ground around the perimeter, away from foot traffic. Liquid barrier treatment involves more direct application near the foundation, so we'll walk you through any specific precautions and wait times for whichever method fits your property.
Do I need a termite bond?
A termite bond isn't required by Texas law, but many lenders and buyers expect one as part of a home sale, and it guarantees ongoing inspection and retreatment at no extra cost if activity returns during the bond period. For a lot of homeowners, that ongoing coverage is worth more than the upfront cost of the bond itself.
How long does treatment take?
Most initial treatments — whether bait station installation or a liquid barrier — are completed in a single visit. From there, bait station monitoring continues on a scheduled basis, since termite control is really an ongoing relationship rather than a one-time fix.
What's the difference between bait stations and liquid barrier treatment?
Bait stations are installed around the perimeter and rely on worker termites carrying bait back to the colony over time, while a liquid barrier creates a continuous treated zone around the foundation that termites can't cross. Bait tends to suit ongoing monitoring situations well, while a liquid barrier is often preferred for a more immediate, one-time treatment — we'll recommend based on what the inspection shows.
