Our Maintenance Programs
Pests may enter a home at any time, that’s why homeowners prefer to set up a maintenance schedule. Depending on the plan you choose, we provide monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly services to ensure pests are eliminated.
Most pests carry diseases and harmful bacteria that can lead to a family member becoming ill. Often, infants and the elderly are most susceptible to these medical issues. Yet, quite a few will write the symptoms off as the flu. This may not be the case, however, and the issue must be resolved before the family members can fully recover. It doesn’t take long for pests to take over a home, so prevention is always key. In addition, HillTex Pest Control services actually help to keep costs down for the homeowner. Prevention is always less expensive than extermination, and homeowners should always keep this in mind.
Termite Control
Termites remain an issue in the Texas Hill Country, with one-third of homes in the state at significant risk of being infested with termites. Subterranean termites, the hardest ones to spot, are the most common in the area and can-do irreparable damage to the structure of the home if not caught quickly. Any sign of tiny mud tunnels requires an immediate call to an exterminator, as this is a sign the termites are present.
What kind of damage can be seen with this type of pests?
Termites are social insects, which means they gather in large numbers. When one is detected, there are numerous others that cannot be seen, possibly hundreds of thousands. The National Pest Management Association reports the consumption of wood framing and support timbers in homes across America by termites leads to more than $5 billion in damages every year. The insects feed on floor and ceiling supports, subfloors, posts, and wood studs. They may also consume paneling, furniture, carpet, and drywall products.
Homeowners may not know there is an issue until doors or windows begin to jam, laminate floors begin to sag or bubble, tiles become loose, or other similar problems are detected in the home. The challenge lies in catching the problem before the insects do severe damage, which isn’t always easy to accomplish. HillTex Pest Control will assess the situation and determine if termites are present. Homeowners will be happy to find our prices are very reasonable and competitive.
