Austin Termite Control Services for Your Home
Understanding How Termites Invade Your Property
What people do not realize is that termites do not merely tear down buildings but construct their own tunnels and tubes in the process. These intricate structures and shelters, built from mud and stacked high or long across different surfaces and foundations, allow them to find access to wood.
If your Austin home or business is not built into a completely solid concrete basement, crawl space, or slab foundation, it will be a prime target for termites. Even if an opening is 1/32 of an inch wide, then a termite can find its way in. They are known to invade buildings through expansion joints, hollow bricks, cracks along metal walls and floors, and concrete blocks.

What Are Signs of Termites?
One of the biggest problems of termites is that they can create a massive amount of damage to your property’s foundations behind the scenes, without you ever even knowing until it is too late. This is why they are often given the nickname of the “silent destroyers,” since they could completely chew through major wooden structures without being detected.
Contact the Austin termite control specialists if you notice any of the signs of below:
- Tubes made from mud nestled in your home’s foundation
- Areas in the wooden structures of your home that sound hollow or even feel soft
- Wing fragments, usually near the windows or doors, showing where termite swarms have entered the property
- Little piles which look like sawdust but are actually heaps of droppings
