Termite Control With Roberts Pest & Termite Control

Our Austin termite control process starts with a thorough inspection of your building to check for signs of termite activity. After the inspection, we move onto the treatment phase, and then provide any follow-up service as needed.

We offer several severely effective and proven treatment options: Sentricon® System with Always Active™, Termidor®, the Termatrac monitoring system, and Borate treatments using Bora-Care®. We'll work with you and your unique situation to recommend the best treatment solution for you.

We also offer pre-construction treatments and WDO inspections and reports, so if you're looking to build or buy, we can provide you with the peace of mind needed to make a decision.

Signs of Termite Infestation

Termite infestations can cause significant damage to your home if not addressed promptly. Here are some common signs of a termite infestation:

Mud Tubes: Termites build mud tubes to protect themselves while traveling between their colony and a food source. These tubes are often found along walls, foundations, or beams. They resemble small tunnels made of mud and are about the width of a pencil.
Damaged Wood: Termites eat wood from the inside out, leaving a hollowed-out structure. If you knock on wooden structures and they sound hollow or feel soft when touched, it could indicate termite damage.
Discarded Wings: During certain times of the year, reproductive termites (called swarmers) leave the colony to find a mate and establish a new colony. You might find piles of discarded wings near windows, doors, or light sources.
Droppings (Frass): Termite droppings, also known as frass, are small, pellet-like pieces of wood that termites expel as they feed. These droppings are typically found near termite activity or exit holes.
Wooden Structures Buckling: Termites can cause wooden structures to warp, buckle, or swell. This is often a sign of extensive damage, especially in flooring, doors, and window frames.
Noise: If you hear faint tapping sounds coming from walls or wooden beams, it could be termites eating and moving within the wood. Soldiers tap on wood to warn the colony of danger.
Visible Holes: Small pinholes in wood, which may be surrounded by piles of frass, can also be a sign of termite activity. These holes are used by termites to exit and enter the wood.
Peeling Paint or Drooping Ceilings: Termite damage can sometimes lead to moisture buildup, causing paint to bubble or ceilings to sag.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to contact a pest control professional for a thorough inspection and to prevent further damage.

Our Termite Treatment Offerings

Sentricon® with Always Active™ termite baits are the best defense Texas homeowners have against termites.

Sentricon® with Always Active™

Sentricon bait stations are created to turn the termites of the colony against itself. Foraging termites find bait near a bait station before taking it back and sharing it with other termites and the queen - eliminating the entire colony in the process.

Sentricon bait stations are active 24/7, creating a protective barrier around your home to protect it all year-round.

Termatrac Monitoring System

Roberts Pest & Termite Control is now offering the Termatrac monitoring system, the World's #1 Termite Detector! Using radar, thermal, and moisture-sensing technology, this non-intrusive termite monitoring device works to locate, confirm, and track the presence of termites, providing your property with a constant update on any new termite activity.

Thorough Termite Inspections

Having a termite inspection conducted in Austin is a vital first step in the termite control process. One of our exterminators will visit your home and inspect the interior, garage, and outbuildings for any signs of termites and termite damage.

The signs of termite damage often subtle and in hard-to-reach areas, but our professional Austin exterminators have the knowledge and experience to determine whether you have an active infestation or not, as well as identify areas inside and outside your building that are conducive to a termite infestation.

Free Termite Estimates

After completing the inspection, we will provide you with a free estimate for our Austin termite control services based on the findings of the inspection. Whether you would like a quote to treat for active termites or a quote to treat preventatively, we are happy to help.

Quality Termite Control Treatments

Treatments vary based on a variety of factors. Termidor® is a liquid treatment that is applied to the soil around the building's foundation. It provides a continuous barrier of protection that is completely undetectable to termites. Whether they walk through it or ingest it, it will eventually eliminate them. Furthermore, once termites get Termidor® on them, they transfer it to other colony members which eliminates the entire colony.

Follow-Up Services

Termidor® treatments come with a one-year warranty. If termite activity resumes within the year, we will re-treat for free. This warranty is renewable on a year to year basis for up to 10 years by completing annual termite inspections.

Pre-Construction Termite Treatments

If you are in the process of building a new home, it’s the perfect time to protect it from termites. Treating the foundation and areas where plumbing comes in when everything is exposed is far easier than treating them after your home is already built. Protect your investment before termites have a chance to invade with our pre-construction service.

WDO/WDI Reports

If you’re in the process of buying a home or business, you may be required to have a Wood-Destroying Organism/Wood-Destroying Insect Report filed with your lender in order to complete the sale. Roberts Termite & Pest Control offers these inspections and reports as both a residential and commercial service to help you with the process.
