Termite Baiting Services
Termites are easiest to spot after they send out a swarm. However, that means there is already a mature colony living on your property. By the time you become aware of termite activity in your home, you can bet they’ve already caused some damage. However, that doesn’t mean that you throw in the towel. Instead, it’s time to saddle up and go to war! We here at Buckaroo Pest Protection help home and business owners protect their property from these annoying pests. We use baiting stations and pretreatments to kill off termite infestations as well as keep them from taking hold in the first place. We also offer an unusual type of warranty for our termite services. While other pest control companies offer a warranty that includes re-treating if your termite problem comes back, we take things one step further. If your termite problem returns after we’ve treated your property, we’ll take responsibility for the damage caused. It isn’t your fault our services failed, and we don’t believe you should be stuck with the bill. Learn more about our Repair Warranty here.

Signs That You may Have termites

2. Tubes of Mud
3. A Termite Swarm
4. Piles of Shed Wings

Types of Termites in North Texas
No doubt, one of your favorite things about living in North Texas is the pleasant, year-round weather. Unfortunately, it is also perfect termite weather. Homeowners must keep a sharp eye out for these pesky critters. It’s easy for an undetected colony to take root in your home or business. Once in place, it won’t be long before thousands or even millions of termites are chowing down on important materials in your building. There are several types of termites that appear in Texas, but two in particular you have to watch for in North Texas:
Formosan Subterranean Termites
Home and business owners have subterranean termites to thank for most of the property damage caused by termites in the US. These critters reproduce quickly, and a single colony can house millions of individuals. This type of termite burrows in the ground and prefers to live in the soil. They will build huge underground nests and connect them with tunnels to anything they can use as a food source.
Southeastern Drywood Termites
Instead of setting up underground and visiting for dinner, these termites build their nests directly in the dry wood materials of your home or business. On the plus side, their nests are considerably smaller than those of subterranean termites. Most colonies house just a few thousand individuals. However, they can still be terribly destructive. And these little buggers aren’t attracted only to rotting wood, they will happily chow down on healthy wood as well.
